摘要： A method of operating a transfer printer (1), the transfer printer comprising first and second spool supports each being configured to support a spool (3,4) of ribbon (2), a ribbon drive configured to cause movement of ribbon (2) from the first spool support to the second spool support along a predetermined ribbon path, and a printhead (7), the printhead being configured to selectively transfer ink from the ribbon to a substrate as the substrate is moved relative to the printhead in a direction of substrate movement. The method comprises driving the ribbon in a direction parallel to the direction of substrate movement, printing a first plurality of images onto a first respective plurality of substrates, driving the ribbon in a direction opposite to the direction of substrate movement, driving the ribbon in the direction parallel to the direction of substrate movement, and printing a second plurality of images onto a second respective plurality of substrates. Printing each image of the first and second pluralities of images results in corresponding pluralities of first (15 a, b, c) and second (16 a, b, c) negative images being formed on the ribbon, wherein each negative image of the first plurality of negative images (15 a, b, c) is located adjacent a negative image of the second plurality of negative images (16 a, b, c) on the ribbon.

摘要： An ink ribbon is serially coated by inks in the three primary colors. A distinction portion is provided at each boundary portion between different colored inks. Each distinction portion is formed from two lines, one having a width common for all the distinction portions and regardless of corresponding ink color and one set with a width peculiar to particular ink color. Because this decreases the region taken up by the distinction portion, the printable region on the ink ribbon can be increased.

摘要： A method and system for printing bi-directionally with a thermal print head movable back and forth along a print path adjacent a ribbon to transfer ink therefrom onto a substrate. The ribbon being drawn from an unwind reel and adjacent the print path, and the ribbon being clamped to maintain tension on the ribbon at least when the print head moves in the same direction as ribbon is drawn along the print path. A rotary drive member is rotatable in a first direction to actuate a brake member that clamps the ribbon against a fixed ribbon guide, and the rotary drive member is rotatable in a second opposing direction to rotate the rewind reel to draw ribbon from the unwind reel.

摘要： An inked-ribbon feed mechanism comprises an electric drive motor (5), reversible for reversing the ribbon feed direction, and a reversing switch (32) for the motor (5). A roller (31) operating the reversing switch (32) travels along a cam (28, 29) formed on one arm (21) of a lever (19, 20, 21). A further arm (19) of this lever carries one (14) of two ribbon guides (13, 14) coupled with each other. The motor (5) drives a worm (6). A worm wheel (7) is firmly connected to a pinion (8) and is displaceable together with the latter along the worm (6) in two positions. In one position (8) the pinion meshes with a toothed rim (3) provided on one of the two ribbon spool carriers (1). In the other position (8') the pinion meshes with a toothed rim (4) formed on the other ribbon spool carrier (2).

摘要： An ink-ribbon reversing device for use in a printing machine having an ink-ribbon winding mechanism is provided. The device includes two ink-ribbon spools and associated spool gears mounted on separate spool shafts spaced apart from each other. A drive shaft is positioned between the spool gears with an arm rotatably mounted thereon. A first gear is fixed to the drive shaft. A second gear rotatably mounted on one end of the arm is in engagement with the first gear. One of two actuatable change-over levers abuts the free end of the arm to maintain engagement between the second gear and one spool gear to drive the associated ribbon spool. At the completion of ribbon winding, the change-over lever is displaced, releasing the arm which rotates about the drive shaft to abut the other change-over lever and engage the second gear with the other spool gear to drive the associated ribbon spool. The invention is characterized in that the arm is rotated in one direction by said first gear to provide for the change-over in engagement of the spool gears.

摘要： A mechanism for reversing the movement of an inked ribbon in an office printing machine or the like comprising first and second rotors each for effecting the rotation of one of two ribbon spools on which the ribbon is mounted and a driving element for alternately imparting a driving force to one of the rotors. The driving element is alternately selectively coupled to one of the two rotors to effect the reversal of the movement of the ribbon. A reversing member is shiftable between a first position wherein the driving element is coupled to the first rotor and a second position wherein the driving element is coupled to the second rotor. The reversing member is resiliently coupled to the driving element for rotational movement therewith. The reversing member is maintained in one of the two positions and is permitted to shift to the other of the two positions in response to the application of a predetermined torque. Ribbon sensing is provided for sensing that a predetermined amount of ribbon is on one spool indicating that reversal is required and application of the predetermined torque is effected when the reversal is required to shift the reversing member whereby the driving element is coupled to the other rotor and reversal is effected.

摘要： A bidirectional ribbon supply system for a printer includes: a shaft supported by a frame of the printer, the shaft to rotate about an axis; a pulley affixed to the shaft; and a bias member coupled between the frame and the pulley to apply a force to the pulley in either of a first or second direction responsive to rotation of the pulley in the other of the first or second direction, wherein rotation of a spindle supported on the shaft in the first direction dispenses inside-coated ribbon toward a printhead, and rotation of the spindle in the second direction dispenses outside-coated ribbon toward the printhead.
