THERMAL PRINT HEAD THERMAL PRINTER METHOD OF CONTROLLING THERMAL PRINTER AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

Disclosed are a thermal print head, a thermal printer, a method for controlling a thermal printer, and a computer-readable recording medium. The thermal print head according to an embodiment of the terminal unit is provided with a plurality of terminals for receiving a control signal from the printer, and when the type confirmation signal is applied from the printer through the terminal unit, in response to the approved type confirmation signal of the thermal print head It includes an identification information providing unit that provides identification information for identifying the type to the printer, and the type confirmation signal and identification information are configured to be applied or provided through a single type identification terminal among a plurality of terminals provided in the terminal unit, and the type confirmation The signal is a voltage signal having a predetermined level or a current signal having a predetermined level, and the identification information is based on the resistance value of the resistance element, the type confirmation terminal is connected to ground, and the type confirmation terminal is open, to the type of the thermal print head. It may be a voltage level or a current level corresponding to the one determined accordingly.
