Abstract
Control of the print temperature for a thermal printer is disclosed. Two temperature sensors are used to sense the temperature of both the thermal printhead and the environment around the print medium. In this way, the energy applied to the thermal printhead's heating elements may be adjusted to match an ideal print temperature, which depends on both the printhead temperature and the print-medium temperature.
