The heating element in a thermal printer is responsible for applying heat to thermally sensitive paper, which in turn causes the paper to change color and form an image or text. The heating element is precisely controlled to create the desired print on the paper. Other components listed do not directly generate the heat required for creating images or text on thermal paper.
