Abstract: Data concerning a transfer pattern of a lamination transparent film is not externally sent and stored in a memory but is generated by a random pattern generating module of a color controlling DSP. A random number generating section generates a pseudorandom number for each dot of one line; a tone data obtaining section obtains tone data corresponding to the pseudorandom number; and a transferring section transfers the tone data to a head signal converting ASIC. Tone data for each dot of one line is alternately written in line buffers. Using the tone data written in the line buffers, a thermal head transfers transparent film.

Abstract: An information recording apparatus enables information to be recorded in a thermosensitive recording medium accurately while preventing the development of skew. When a rewritable medium is conveyed to a recording unit, the rotation of the rewritable medium and its position with reference to an axis are adjusted. Specifically, the rewritable medium is held between guide pins to such an extent as not to warp the rewritable medium while the medium is sandwiched between a clamper and a conveyance tray, until the rewritable medium reaches the recording unit. Thus, the rewritable medium is delivered to the recording unit with an adjusted posture, allowing the recording unit to record information in the rewritable medium without the development of skew in the rewritable medium.
