8 and presses the second thermal head 1 based on the printing information.
The heating elements 9 are selectively heated. At this time, the heat energy applied to the second thermal head 19 is corrected so as to be smaller than the heat energy applied to the first thermal head 14. Then, while moving a second carriage (not shown) along the second platen 18, the operation of thermally transferring the ink of the ink ribbon 16 to the other surface of the heated recording paper 2 in one line or a plurality of lines simultaneously is performed. And a line feed operation performed by rotating the second paper feed roller 20 by raising the second thermal head 19,
An image having the same density as the image printed on one surface can be printed on the other surface of the recording paper 2.

Alternatively, the control unit (not shown) calculates the first half and the second half of the row, and according to the result, the printing unit on the recording paper 2 by the first thermal head 14 interposes the second thermal head When the printing head is located in the vicinity of the printing head 19, the heating energy applied to the second thermal head 19 is corrected so as to be smaller than that of the first thermal head 14, and printing is performed.

ても良い。The printing section of the recording paper 2 to be printed on one side by the first printing means 7 on the upstream side starts printing near the center of the recording paper 2 or near the rear end from the center. When the printing portion on the other surface to be printed by the second printing means 17 on the downstream side starts printing near the front end of the recording paper 2, the printing portion printed on one surface by the first thermal head 14 Until the recording paper 2 is fed to the vicinity of the second thermal head 19, the heat is applied to the second thermal head 19 for printing on the other surface with the same heat energy as the first thermal head 14 for printing. When the printing section printed by the first thermal head 14 is located near the second thermal head 19 across the recording paper 2, the heat energy applied to the second thermal head 19 is transmitted from the first thermal head 14. The print may be corrected so as to be smaller.

The heat energy applied to the thermal head 19 may be changed. This is because printing a figure as compared to a character requires a longer time to press the first thermal head 14 against the recording paper 2, and therefore, the temperature rise of the recording paper 2 is more significant than when printing a character. It is because it becomes high.

を提供できる。As described above, the double-sided printer according to the present invention is capable of printing on the first side when printing on one side of a recording sheet.
The temperature of the recording paper rises due to the heat of the thermal head,
At the time of printing by the second printing means on the other surface of the recording paper whose temperature has increased, the heat is applied to the second thermal head with a smaller amount of heat generated than the first thermal head. Even if the temperature of the recording paper increases during printing with the first thermal head, the density of the image printed on the other side of the recording paper can be the same as the density of the image printed on one side, and It is possible to provide a double-sided printing printer capable of making the density of an image printed on the other side uniform.
