Abstract
A thermal printer for impressing a recording medium with letters making use of a thermal head including a dot line type. The printer is able to perform impression at a state with the thermal head pressing the recording medium against a recording medium feed roller and even when the recording medium is fed by one line after completion of the impression, the recording medium may be fed in such a state that the thermal head is kept in contact under pressure with the feed roller. A preheat bias construction may be incorporated to reduce use of electric current.
