Abstract
In a thermal transfer recording device which performs thermal transfer recording by using an ink ribbon which applies monochrome or polychrome transfer of ink to a base film and moves the ink ribbon and paper holding them between a thermal head and a platen, a first control section outputs a signal for the control of the heat quantity of the thermal head based on input binary data, a second control section outputs a signal for the control of the heat quantity of the thermal head based on input multi-value data, a setting unit outputs setting results based on the setting of the binary data print mode or the multi-value data print mode, and a selection unit selects the output signal of the first control section or the second control section based on the above mentioned setting results and supplies it to the above-mentioned thermal head.
