Thermal transfer recording apparatus

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prevent the deterioration of printing quality by removing wrinkles accompanied by the skew of an ID film generated in the vicinity of a printing part, by releasing the grasping of the ID film when the skew of the ID film reaches a tolerant limit or more and excluding the skew by the empty feed of the ID film. CONSTITUTION:A skew detection means 10 and a skew correction control apparatus 11 are mounted. When a skew is generated from the normal position of an ID film 50 to the left side shown by the dot line, a light receiving element is blocked by the ID film 50 and a light emitting/receiving element pair 10a sends out a signal SS. Contrarily, when the film is shifted to the right side, the signal SS is formed by a light emitting/receiving element pair 10b. The skew correction control apparatus 11 outputs an order signal CCI for separating a thermal head 57 from the ID film 50 when the skew is a definite value or more on the basis of the signal SS. The thermal head 57 is separated from the ID film 50 by the signal CCI to perform the empty feed of the ID film 50.
