HEAT-TRANSFER TYPE PRINTING DEVICE AND ACCUMULATED ERROR CORRECTING METHOD FOR THE SAME

PURPOSE: To hold an accurate printing location, and improve the printing quality by easily correcting the accumulated slip of a printing location due to a carrying error, for a thermal transfer type printing device which performs a thermal transfer printing while carrying and moving a printing objective medium to a fixed type thermal head, and its accumulated error correcting method. CONSTITUTION: A thermal transfer type printing device 1 performs a thermal transfer printing by a thermal head 2 while carrying and moving a printing objective medium to the fixed type thermal head 2. Such a thermal transfer type printing device 1 is constituted by providing a cycle-setting region 3 where a fire cycle of the thermal head 2 at the time of thermal transfer printing is previously set, and a control unit 4 which controls the driving of the thermal head 2 by the fire cycle which is set in the cycle-setting region 3.
