ABSTRACT:
In a one-pass multi-head type color thermal printer, a color recording material is transported by a plurality of feed roller pairs, each of which consists of a capstan roller and a pinch roller and is disposed behind one of a plurality of thermal heads. The pinch roller is movable relative to the capstan roller to nip the recording material, and the capstan roller is driven each individually to transport the recording material at an appropriate speed through each of the thermal heads. A platen roller is disposed in opposition to each of the thermal head so as to be movable to and from the opposed thermal head, whereas the thermal heads are mounted stationary.
