A thermal printer wherein a character or symbol printed on record paper by transfer can be corrected or erased by suitably controlling the printing energy applied to a thermal head, without the necessity of provision of a specific mechanism for correcting such printed characters or symbols. The printer comprises means for applying printing energy higher than printing energy for transfer recording to said thermal head to erase a character or symbol printed on the record paper.
