We examined a power saving on thermal printing.Development of Power saving thermal print head by 3D thermal analysis.Thermal printer is a simple structure, and it is small suitable. Therefore, it is widely used for a direct, thermal printer and a mobile printer of the built-in type. The power saving of a thermal head have to achieve for the battery longevity in a mobile printer and the speed-up of the Thermal printing.We looked into thermal head structure, energizing condition and medium structure suitable for power saving. The numerical analysis by the finite element method was applied to the examination.It reports on the content that optimizes the structure to make the printing quality united to the power saving.
