ABSTRACT:
A thermal transfer recording apparatus, such as a thermal transfer printer, which winds up at constant speed an ink sheet having ink to be transferred while applying a constant tension to the ink sheet by a DC motor through a speed reduction mechanism, so that the respective rotation speed and torques, when a wind-up roll is of a minimum diameter or a maximum diameter, are computed from the feed speed and tension of the ink sheet to thereby obtain a desired gradient in a chart of the relationship between the torque and the rotation speed of the DC motor, the gradient deciding a reduction ratio of the deceleration mechanism and the driviing voltage of the DC motor being decided. Hence, even though the wind-up roll varies in an external form, variation in tension applied to the ink sheet and that in the feed speed can be restricted.
