摘要： An electromagnetic actuator 24 comprises a body 25, a coil and an armature 26. The armature 26 has an end region 208 which is located outside the body 25 and moves in a first direction during actuation. The said end region 208 includes a cap-like element 210 secured to it. The cap 210 may bear upon a printer member during actuation. The cap 210 also restricts the armature 26 movement in the opposite direction to that of the said first direction. The cap 210 and the end of the armature 208 may have threads which are used to secure the cap 210 to the said armature end region 208. Spring bias and armature 26 movement limiting features may be included. The actuator 24 may include a thread attachment part used to mount the actuator in a manner which allows heat in the actuator to be dissipated. The actuator 24 may be used in combination with a drive linkage system to a thermal printer head. The thermal printer may include a ribbon with a controlled motor drive system.

摘要： Apparatus including a print head (11) with an array of printing elements which are selectively operable to print pixels of an image to be printed on a substrate (14) includes a computer controller (22) which is operably connected to a data source (25) which provides data to the computer controller (22) relating to the nature of an image to be printed. A memory (30) includes a plurality of pre-defined bitmaps of parts of an image which may be printed, and provides image data to the controller (22) where the image data contains an image part for which a pre-defined bitmap exists in the memory (30). The pre-defined bitmap is retrieved from the memory (30) and provided to the print head 11 for printing. The pre-defined bitmaps may represent digits (36,37) or words e.g. month names (38). Image data comprising pre-defined components e.g. a label (40) indicating a "sell-by" date may thus be printed more efficiently, without the need to render the pre-defined parts of an image.

摘要： A method of operating a printing apparatus 10 (eg a thermal printer) of the kind including a print head 12 having an array 14 of printing elements which in use are selectively energised for an "on" period in each of a plurality of row positions of an image to be printed, to effect printing, and a power supply 15 to provide electrical power to the print head 12 in each row position, includes setting the duration of the "on" period for which the printing elements are selectively energised in each row position, depending upon a characteristic of the print head 12. The value of the electrical resistance of the print head can be stored on a memory in the print head. The printer apparatus can measure the resistance of the print head.

摘要： An apparatus has a label application module 14, such as featuring a label application press 35, and a label printing module 12. The application module 14 is detachably mounted to a first side wall 40 of the printing module 12, and is also attachable to a second adjacent wall 41 of the printing module 12, which is at a right angle to the first wall. This can be seen in the repositioning of the application module 14, in the transition from fig.1a to fig.1b. In this way the apparatus can provide it's label application function when labelling items travelling both left to right, and right to left in front of the device.

摘要： The spool mounting structures (25,26) permit movement of storage and take-up spools (19,20) relative to the base plate (18) in response to changes in ribbon tension. A sensor (36) e.g. strain gauge outputs the sensed movement to the controller (C) that controls the ribbon transport mechanism. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) method of controlling ribbon transport mechanism; and (2) method of determining when a ribbon in a ribbon feed system has broken.
