A control system for a printer having at least one heating element for producing spots applies one of a plurality of voltage levels to at least one heating element disposed on a printhead. A voltage supply supplies a voltage to a first one of a plurality of switches connected in series with a last one of the switches being connected to the at least one heating element. At least one of the switches defines a first path and a second path having different voltage drops. A controller coupled to the plurality of switches selectively actuates the switches to apply one of a plurality of predetermined voltages to the at least one heating element.

Système de commande d'imprimante équipé d'au moins un élément chauffant servant à produire des points. Ce système applique un certain niveau de tension, choisi parmi plusieurs niveaux possibles, à au moins un élément chauffant de tête d'impression. Une alimentation fournit une tension à un premier commutateur faisant partie d'un ensemble de commutateurs reliés en série, l'un d'entre eux au moins étant lui-même relié à au moins un élément chauffant. Au moins l'un des commutateurs détermine un premier trajet et un deuxième trajet présentant des chutes de tension différentes. Un contrôleur, relié à un certain nombre de commutateurs, les actionne de façon sélective pour qu'ils appliquent une tension particulière, choisie parmi plusieurs tensions prédéterminées, à au moins un élément chauffant.
