Abstract
The laser beam output from each of the semiconductor lasers is applied to the same print dot, such as each of the print dots on a thermosensitive recording medium, in such a manner that the laser beams are superimposed on one another sequentially at the same time that each of the semiconductor lasers is moved in the main scanning direction.
Claims17
A recording apparatus with a record head comprising:
- a record head which is composed of a plurality of recording elements arranged in a line;
- a transport mechanism which transports a recording medium;
- a recording control unit which not only causes the record head to scan in a main scanning direction but also drives the transport mechanism to transport the recording medium in a vertical scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction of the record head and records information on the recording medium;
- and
- a drive timing control unit which selectively drives each of the recording elements and concentrates the recording operation of each of the recording elements on a printing place of the information on the recording medium.

A recording apparatus with a record head comprising:
- a record head which is composed of a plurality of laser light sources arranged in a line;
- a transport mechanism which transports a recording medium;
- a recording control unit which not only causes a laser beam output from each of the laser light sources to scan in a main scanning direction but also drives the transport mechanism to transport the recording medium in a vertical scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction of the record head and records information on the recording medium;
- and
- a drive timing control unit which selectively drives each of the laser light sources and concentrates the recording operation of each of the laser beams on a printing place of the information on the recording medium.
2 more elements
A recording method using a record head comprising:
- when in a record head composed of a plurality of recording elements arranged in a line, each of the recording elements is caused to scan in a main scanning direction and at the same time, a recording medium is transported in a vertical scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction of the record head to record information on the recording medium,
- selectively driving each of the recording elements and concentrating the recording operation of each of the recording elements at a place at which the information is printed on the recording medium.
A recording method using a record head comprising:
- when in a record head composed of a plurality of laser light sources arranged in a line, each of the laser light sources is caused to scan in a main scanning direction and at the same time, a recording medium is transported in a vertical scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction to record information on the recording medium,
- selectively driving each of the laser light sources and concentrating the recording operation performed by each of the laser beams at a place at which the information is printed on the recording medium.
