ABSTRACT:
A thermal transfer printer includes a thermal head having plural heat generating elements, a thermal head driver connected to a character generator for controlling the thermal head by supplying drive currents to the heat generating elements of the thermal head in response to print information, and control circuit for controlling the drive currents from the thermal head driver in response to the ambient temperature. Therefore, the thermal transfer printer is capable of constantly providing an optimum transfer density regardless of the ambient temperature, thus ensuring a satisfactory print quality.
