  • Printer with transport speed controller
    Patent number: 10328729
    Abstract: A printer according to an embodiment includes a communication interface that receives print data from an external device. A print head prints on a sheet, line by line according to the received print data. A motor drives a roller to transport the sheet, line by line according to the received print data. A processor configured determines, for a current print line, a target transport speed for transporting the sheet, and determines one or more intermediate speeds defined in advance and between a current transport speed of transporting the sheet and the target transport speed. The processor controls the motor to transport the sheet at each determined intermediate speed and the target transport speed, sequentially.

  • Thermal printer with heat controller
    Patent number: 10232651
    Abstract: A thermal printer according to an embodiment includes a communication interface that receives print data from an external device. A thermal print head thermally prints on a sheet, line by line according to the received print data. A motor drives a roller to transport the sheet, line by line according to the received print data. A processor determines, for a current print line, a target transport speed for transporting the sheet, and retrieves one or more intermediate speeds that are defined in advance and are between a current transport speed of transporting the sheet and the target transport speed. The processor controls the motor to transport the sheet at each determined intermediate speed and the target transport speed, sequentially. The thermal print head is heated in accordance with predetermined heating control information corresponding to the determined intermediate speed closest to the current speed.
