摘要:
A printer has print wires arranged in a plurality of print head groups, each group comprising a predetermined number of print wires, the individual print wire groups being arranged according to a slanted serrated wire pattern. A print head image generator (220) is provided and is operable under control of a microprocessor (200) to convert conventional character wire images from a data source to the slanted wire images required for printing by the print wire actuators (35).

摘要:
A printer subsystem is interconnected with a host system (1) from which it receives command and data information and to which it provides status information. The printer subsystem has two microprocessors (200, 210), one of which communicates (200) with the host system for transfer of command, data, and status signals and the other of which (210) directly controls the printer unit in the subsystem especially with respect to the print assembly forms feed assembly, ribbon drive assembly, and print wire actuators. Interconnecting means (225, 226, 228) are provided between the first and the second microprocessors to receive command and data signals from the first micropro- ' cessor to produce control signals and character image signals for use by the printer unit. Register means (225. 226) between the first and the second microprocessors are accessible by either microprocessor for entry of information pertaining to operation of the printer subsystem and for intercommunication purposes between the two microprocessors.
