[For stamp tape cassettes]
If the selected heating element(s) generates heat, the porous-stamp tape will be melted so
that a pore (pores) will be formed in the tape. The tape is advanced and the next heating
cycle is repeated, thus forming a character of pores on the tape. The printed stamp tape
can be used as the face of a stamp. When the stamp is pressed against the ink-pad, it will
absorb ink through the pores.
For laminated tape cassettes, instant lettering tape cassettes, and iron-on transfer tape
cassettes, the CPU processes the print data to generate a mirror image so that the printed
character can be seen normally when viewed from the other side of the printed face of the
tape.
(3) Character Formation
While the DC motor feeds the tape and ink ribbon (only the tape when using non-laminated
thermal film tape cassettes or stamp tape cassettes) by 0.141 mm, the thermal head
generates heat once. The feed amount is decided by sending each five pulses of the signal
as one dot (0.141 mm) when the photo interrupter detects the encode gear assembled onto
the motor shaft. The feed amount of 0.141 mm is smaller than the width (0.195 mm) of the
heating elements so that the heat generated at one heating cycle will overlap with the next
heating cycle. This forms a character having no gap between adjacent printed dots.
