[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.
Character Formation
The tape feed motor (stepping motor) feeds the tape and the ink ribbon (or only the tape when
mounting the heat sensitive tape cassette) by 0.0705 mm per 3.5 ms, while the thermal head
generates heat once. (In the high-speed printing, the tape is fed by 0.0705 mm per 1.76 ms, In
the high-resolution printing, the tape is fed by 0.0353 mm per 1.76 ms).
Feed amount of one step (0.0705 mm) is shorter than the width of heating element (0.08 mm),
so that the continuous heat generation cycle will offer the dot printing having no gap between the
adjacent heating cycles.
This forms a character and a figure having no gap between adjacent printed dots.
