Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance print efficiency drastically by providing a means for applying transfer heat to an ink ribbon, and a means for heating an ink ribbon before ink is transferred thermally to a print medium. SOLUTION: Under print state of a thermal head 23, each heating section 23H1-23HN is heated by means of respective heater 55, 56 from normal thermal transfer temperature in order to thermally transfer various dyes applied to an ink ribbon 33 onto the surface of a card material 13. Since the card material 13 and an ink ribbon 33 have been heated already when print operation of the thermal head 23 is started, each heating section 23H1-23HN of the thermal head 23 requires a smaller heating value as compared with a case where the card material 13 and the ink ribbon 33 are not heated. Consequently, electric power supply to the thermal head 23 can be reduced and heating time can be shortened resulting in drastic enhancement of print efficiency.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten a user's wait time by selectively controlling any of a plurality of printers in accordance with the number of sheets of photoprint media. SOLUTION: When the number of prints set by a user is not smaller than 5, external printers 4A-4C are driven to photoprint in place of an internal printer of a printer apparatus 2. Depending on whether or not an initial screen is operated within 30 seconds after a previous process in the printer apparatus 2, a counter is incremented or reset. When a count value becomes an odd number not smaller than 3, the external printers 4A-4C are driven in place of the internal printer. In the case of count values other than the above, the internal printer is driven to photoprint. If the printer apparatus 2 is used within 30 seconds after the printing process by three or more people, the external printers 4A-4C are used. On the other hand, if the printer apparatus 2 is not used after the previous printing process, or when the external printers 4A-4C are driving to photoprint at present, the internal printer is used.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To correctly discriminate the type of a ribbon even when the ribbon is incorrectly replaced by a method wherein a case replaceably holds rolls, and the roll is provided with a ribbon identification means indicating the type of a ribbon. CONSTITUTION:In a connecting member 26A, a projected knob 30 is formed on an intermediate part between bearing parts 24A and 24C. A ribbon cartridge 20 can be pulled out of a video printer by gripping the knob 30. Thus, the ribbon cartridge 20 can be easily replaced. Furthermore, the connecting member 26A on the side of the knob 30 is pulled apart from a connecting member 26B by gripping the knob 30 to be separated from a bottom plate 28. Rolls T and S are rotatably supported by bearing parts 24B and 24D. By pulling apart the roll holding part 32 from a case body 34, the rolls T and S are disengaged from the bearing parts 24B and 24D. In this manner, in the ribbon cartridge 20, a ribbon 6 can be replaced integrally with the roll holding part 32 by pulling apart the roll holding part 32 from the case body 34.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording medium insertion mechanism and an electronic device equipped with the recording medium insertion mechanism that can prevent even if inadvertently inserted a coin or a recording medium smaller in a width than that of the recording medium that should by right be inserted into a slot from reaching a connector. SOLUTION: The system comprises a pathway that guides the recording medium 40 inserted from the insertion slot 3 to the connector 8, a shutter 13 that moves from a closed position where it shuts the pathway, to an open position where it goes off the pathway, and a pair of locks 14a and 14b having engagement parts 29a and 29b, respectively, which interlock with the shutter 13 in a closed position. The locks 14a and 14b are disposed so that they face each other in the width direction of the pathway with the engagement parts 29a and 29b energized to the locked position where they are engaged to the shutter 13.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a printer using Y, M, C ink ribbons and an intermediate transfer medium film in which waste of ribbon and film is prevented. SOLUTION: A plurality, e.g. five, of color images are printed continuously onto an intermediate transfer medium film using Y, M, C ink ribbons 4, 5, 6 and an H/S ribbon 14 and the surface thereof is covered with a heat seal layer. Five images printed onto the film 3 are then transferred sequentially onto a plurality of print sheets 17 by a transfer means. Number of pulses being generated from an intermediate transfer medium film feeding means is counted during the interval after ending print of fifth sheet onto the film 3 before ending transfer of the fifth image onto the print sheet 17. Based on the number of pulses calculated from the measured number of pulses, the film 3 is rewound by a specified amount before starting next printing.
