Abstract
High speed printing can be attained without loss of printing quality. The amount of energy to be supplied to each heating resistor in the next printing cycle is determined by the amount of energy which was supplied to it during the previous cycle of printing, as well as by the density of picture data to be printed. Other information which may be taken into account in adjusting the amount of energy supplied to the heating resistors includes the amount of energy previously supplied to adjacent resistors and the duration of the printing cycle (where this is variable).
