ABSTRACT:
A thermal activation apparatus has a casing which houses a drawing roller that draws a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet through an insertion port and transports the sheet through the casing. A cutter unit cuts the sheet to a predetermined length, a thermal activation unit thermally activates a heat-sensitive adhesive layer of the cut sheet, and a discharge roller discharges the thermally-activated sheet through a discharge port. A CPU controls the cutter unit and the thermal activation unit based on various factors so that the heat-sensitive adhesive layer is thermally activated only when needed.
