Embodiment Construction

[0023] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermal printer control method and a thermal printer to solve the technical problem that the printing speed of the thermal printer cannot be increased in the prior art; it is used to heat the printing while feeding the paper, and the print head receives the printing speed at the same time. By means of data, the technical effect of improving the printing speed of thermal printers is realized.

[0024] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Such as figure 1 Shown is a control sequence diagram of a thermal printer in the prior art. In the prior art, the control mode of the thermal printer is the following three steps executed serially: 1. Send the current data to be printed to the print head of the thermal printer; 2. Drive the motor of the thermal printer to feed paper; 3. Heating the print hea...

Abstract

The invention discloses a thermal printer and a method for controlling the same. By the aid of the thermal printer and the method, the technical problem of incapability of increasing the printing speed of a thermal printer in the prior art can be solved. The method includes steps of driving a motor of the thermal printer to feed paper; heating a printing head of the thermal printer to print current data; transmitting to-be-printed data to the printing head. The steps are parallelly executed. The thermal printer and the method have the technical advantages that two cache regions are arranged in a memory of the printing head, so that the three steps of 'printer paper feeding', 'printing head heating' and 'to-be-printed data receiving' can be parallelly executed by the thermal printer, time elapsed in each data printing procedure can be obviously shortened, and the printing speed of the thermal printer can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printer control, in particular to a thermal printer control method and the thermal printer. Background technique [0002] Thermal printers are widely used in various industries due to their small size, low noise, and high speed. Although it can support a printing speed of up to 200mm / S, people's requirements for the printing speed of thermal printers are still increasing. [0003] The most common thermal printer uses a fixed print head with a dot matrix. A semiconductor heating element is installed on the print head. After the print head is heated and contacts the thermal printing paper, the desired pattern can be printed. After the thermal printer receives the print data, it converts the print data into bitmap data, and then controls the semiconductor heating element on the print head to pass current according to the points of the bitmap data, so that the print data becomes printing on thermal printing ...
