Filed:
Jul 18, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/058593
Inventors:

Abstract:
A driver circuit for a thermal printing element varies the power applied to the element, depending upon its recent history of energization, in order to maintain uniform print density desprite temperature variation in the element. A capacitor charges and discharges to measure time intervals since the last element energization to control the voltage applied by an output transistor.
