Abstract

See full text

A thermal printer comprising a transfer section where an ink film is pressed into tight contact with recording paper for transferring ink from the ink film to the recording paper by means of a thermal head, thereby to form an image on the recording paper. When the printer is switched on, the ink film and the recording paper located at the transfer section are moved onward to a recording paper separating device. The ink film and the recording paper remain in tight contact with each other when the power is cut in a printing operation. However, when the power supply for the printer is resumed, the ink film and the recording paper are moved to the separating means to release the ink film and recording paper from the mutual tight contact, thereby facilitating ink film takeup.
