Abstract
A thermal array protection apparatus is disclosed primarily for use in linear thermal array imaging devices. Data to be printed within a given line of data are compared to data printed within the previous lines of data. Whether data will or will not be printed in the given line of data is a function of the previous data printed. Since the apparatus prevents data from being printed for the same position in successive lines of data, the temperature of the individual thermal imaging stylii will be kept within acceptable limits.
