Abstract
A printer having a circuit for controlling a heating head is arranged so that the heating head is divided into first and second heating element groups. When a printer control unit provides one line of print data, a first portion of the data is printed by the first heating element group during the first half of a printing cycle by supplying power solely to the first heating element group, and a second portion of the data is printed during the second half of the printing cycle by supplying power solely to the second heating element group.
