    摘要: A clock circuit includes an oscillator (15) for generating a reference frequency signal, and a spread spectrum clock generator (14) cooperating with the oscillator for generating a spread spectrum clock output signal having a fundamental frequency and reduced amplitude EMI spectral components at harmonics of the fundamental frequency. The spread spectrum clock generator preferably includes a clock pulse generator for generating a series of clock pulses, and a spread spectrum modulator for frequency modulating the clock pulse generator to broaden and flatten amplitudes of EMI spectral components which would otherwise be produced by the clock pulse generator. The spread spectrum modulator frequency modulates the clock pulses with specific profiles of frequency deviation versus the period of the profile. Electronic devices including the spread spectrum clock circuit and associated method are also disclosed.

    摘要: A page printer which rasterizes a page utilizing partial page bit map swaths. Received data to be printed is stored in packets (12-17) in a page buffer in random access memory. Data within each packet is arranged in printing order down the page to be printed, but the pack­ets themselves are arranged in the order received, and are not indexed or linked. As each swath (11) is rasterized, each packet is examined, and packets containing data falling at least in part within the active swath are processed. The printer is controlled by a programmed microprocessor, and logic hardware assistance is provided for translating data addresses from logical addresses to physical addresses. Logic hardware assistance is also provided for making the determination of whether or not a given data address lies within the active swath.

    摘要: A method of and apparatus for proportional ribbon (23) tracking on a printer including a printwheel (25), ribbon (23) and hammer all mounted on a carrierfortranslation opposite a platen (21). Ribbon lift mechanism (17,47) is provided for effecting elevation of ribbon (23) to multiple predetermined positions or tracks so that characters may be printed on print receiving medium (22). Input means (11) receives a character to be printed. The microprocessor (13), in conjunction with the ROM (15), characterizes the character in accordance with a predetermined plurality of characteristics. In accordance with ribbon lift and fed algorithms, a particular characteristic of the character to be printed is added to a position on the ribbon upon which at least one prior character has been printed. In this manner a new print position is determined. Thereafter, the new track print position is outputted to the ribbon lift and feed means (17,47,18) for effecting elevation of said ribbon (23) to one of a multiple of predetermined positions to thereby approximately maximize the number of predetermined positions of said ribbon with characters thereon which may be printed without character overlap.
