We are focusing on the temperature at which it is peeled off from the paper. In other words, when printing, the ink ribbon is at a high 4 degrees, and the ink ribbon is
For 1) peeling and erasing from the paper, the ink ribbon is peeled off from the recording paper when the ink ribbon has cooled down. In addition, a movable ink ribbon guide is installed on the rear side of the legal head in the scanning direction, and is operated in conjunction with an arm operated by a solenoid. A movable ink ribbon guide is installed at a position where it is removed from the recording paper so that it can be peeled off from the recording paper. In order to prevent the ink ribbon from separating from the IFJ recording paper for a while, the flexible ink ribbon guide was in contact with the recording paper on the rear side in the scanning direction of the thermal head.

リボンへの移動をなすようにしたことを特徴とする。[Means for solving problems 1l13] The thermal transfer printing method of the present invention interposes an ink ribbon for printing and erasing between the recording paper and the thermal head, and enters the ink ribbon from the heat generating part of the thermal head. In the thermal transfer printing method, in which the ink on the ink ribbon is heated to a recording paper (J) for recording, or the ink that has been heated to 4Ja on the recording paper is peeled off to the ink ribbon to perform recording. When recording on the recording paper and erasing the recording, R1 of the thermal head of the ink ribbon
'! While keeping the distance between the point at which the ink ribbon is heated from the first section and the point at which it is peeled off from the recording paper constant, the feed of the thermal head is varied by 31 degrees, and the contact between the ink ribbon and the paper 29 is kept constant. It is characterized in that the ink on the ink ribbon is transferred to the recording paper and the ink printed on the recording paper is moved to the ink ribbon by the difference.

する熱転写プリント方法。An ink ribbon for printing and erasing is interposed between the recording paper and the thermal head, and by inputting heat to the ink ribbon from the heat generating part of the thermal head, the ink on the ink ribbon adheres to the recording paper and recording is performed. In a thermal transfer printing method in which ink adhered to recording paper is peeled off to the ink ribbon side to erase the record, when recording on the recording paper and erasing the record, the heat generating part of the thermal head of the ink ribbon is used. While keeping the distance between the position where heat is input from the recording paper and the position where it is peeled off from the recording paper constant, the feeding speed of the thermal head is changed, and the ink on the ink ribbon is changed depending on the difference in contact time between the ink ribbon and the recording paper. A thermal transfer printing method characterized in that the ink is transferred to recording paper and the ink printed on the recording paper is transferred to an ink ribbon.
