Problems solved by technology

[0003] For traditional thermal printers, the printing speed cannot be adjusted arbitrarily (higher printing speed will cause greater noise, slower printing speed will take time), and the printing density cannot be adjusted arbitrarily
And the price of special print head is relatively high

Abstract

The present invention relates to a thermal printer. The thermal printer comprises a stepping motor, a thermal element, a roller driven by the stepping motor to drive thermo-sensitive papers to paper skip and a control module. The control module comprises: a PWM timing controller configured to generate PWM signals to control the rotation of the stepping motor; a serial bus controller configured to control the serial bus to transmit the printing data to the thermal element through the serial bus; a first timing controller configured to generate interruption to start the serial bus to transmit the printing data; and a second timing controller configured to control the heating time of the thermal element. The present invention further relates to a thermal printing method. A PWM timing controller, a first timing controller and a second timing controller are configured to control the printing process, and a thermal printing mode with adjustable printing speed and printing concentration is realized through comparing the counter values of the first timing controller and the second timing controller with the relation of the printing speed and the printing concentration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of printing, in particular to a thermal printer. Background technique [0002] The use of thermal printers is becoming more and more widespread. It has the characteristics of slow printing speed, low noise, clear printing and convenient use. [0003] For traditional thermal printers, the printing speed cannot be adjusted arbitrarily (higher printing speed will cause greater noise, and slower printing speed will take time), and the printing density cannot be adjusted arbitrarily. And the price of special print head is relatively high. Contents of the invention [0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a thermal printing method capable of adjusting the printing speed and printing density through software control. [0005] A thermal printing method, comprising the following steps: reading a character library; applying for a PWM timing controller, a first timing controller, a second timing controller, a seria...
