  • Patent number: 12623471
    Abstract: A medium issuing device includes a medium conveyance part, a print head, a sensor disposed on an upstream side of a conveyance passage with respect to the print head, a head drive part which moves the print head between a standby position and a printing position, a ribbon feeding part, and a control part. The control part controls so that, when detected that the sensor is turned on by a medium, the medium is conveyed at a first speed by the medium conveyance part, and the print head is started to move to the printing position by the head drive part and, in a case that a high speed mode is set, after the print head is contacted with the medium, the medium conveyance part and the ribbon feeding part are synchronously driven so that printing to the medium is performed at the second speed higher than the first speed.

  • Publication number: 20250388028
    Abstract: A printing system including a printing device and a higher-level device to transmit image data to the printing device, wherein the higher-level device includes a correction value calculation portion to calculate a correction value for correcting the image data based on a density of each line of the image data, and a transmitter to add the correction value calculated by the correction value calculation portion to the image data for each line and transmit the image data and the correction value to the printing device, and wherein the printing device includes a storage unit to associate the correction value with the image data received from the higher-level device for each line and to store the image data and the correction value, and a printing unit to perform printing by changing a time for energizing each heating element in a thermal head based on the correction value stored in the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 12463330
    Abstract: In order to ensure isolation between a plurality of antenna elements arranged in a narrow space while reducing a size of an antenna device for a vehicle, an antenna device (100) for a vehicle includes an antenna case (101), a base (102) forming an accommodation space together with the antenna case (101), and a first antenna element (122) and a second antenna element (123) that are accommodated in the accommodation space. The first antenna element (122) and the second antenna element (123) at least transmit or receive radio waves in different frequency bands. The first antenna element (122) at least partially has a meandering shape in a first direction that intersects polarization of radio waves transmitted or received by the second antenna element (123).
