Foil transferring apparatus, transferring apparatus, foil transferring method, and transferring method

A foil transferring method executable by a foil transferring apparatus, the foil transferring apparatus including:

• a housing having a receiver configured to receive a film cartridge, and an opening, the film cartridge being configured to be attached to and detached from the receiver through the opening, the film cartridge including:
• a supplying reel to which a foil film having foil is wound;
• a winding reel configured to wind the foil film;
• and
• a memory storing information indicating a type of the foil film;
• a transferring part configured to transfer the foil to a sheet;
• and
• a controller,
• the foil transferring method comprising:
• heating the foil film and the sheet by the transferring part in a state that the film cartridge is attached to the receiver and that the foil film supplied from the supplying reel and the sheet are overlapped with each other;
• obtaining the information indicating the type of the foil film from the memory, by the controller;
• and
• changing, by the controller, an amount of heat to be applied per unit area of the foil film from the transferring part based on the information indicating the type of the foil film obtained from the memory.
