ABSTRACT:
A method for printing on a thermal medium by aligning test patterns comprises the steps of feeding a thermal medium to a print starting position of the medium beyond a predetermined distance from a heating elements of a thermal printhead; printing a first test pattern when a front edge of the medium is detected by an edge detection sensor; measuring a first distance between the front edge and the first test pattern by detecting the first test pattern using the edge detection sensor; rotating the thermal printhead to face the second surface; feeding the thermal medium to the print starting position of the medium is beyond predetermined distance the thermal printhead; printing a predetermined second test pattern when the front edge of the medium is detected by the edge detection sensor while feeding the medium; and measuring a second distance between the front edge and the second test pattern.
