ABSTRACT:
In the pull-out direction of continuous color thermosensitive recording paper, a cutter, a transport roller pair, a thermal head, and a fixing unit are disposed in this order. The transport roller pair alternately performs pull-out and pull-back of the continuous color thermosensitive recording paper a plurality of times. During the three pull-back operations of the continuous color thermosensitive recording paper, a yellow image, a magenta image, and a cyan image are sequentially recorded with the thermal head. Shortly before the magenta and cyan images are recorded, the yellow and magenta images are fixed with the fixing unit, when the recording area moves past the fixing unit. After the full-color image is recorded, the continuous color thermosensitive recording paper is again pulled out and when the preset cut position reaches a cutter, the cutter cuts the paper into a print sheet.
