    摘要: Apparatus for printing characters with an impact intensity varying according to the surface area of the character being printed. Included in the apparatus is a cyclically movable character bearing member, such as a rotary print wheel or drum or an endless belt and one or more print hammers cooperable with the member forming a printing couple for printing characters. An electromagnetic field produced by a solenoid initiates the flight of the hammer against a document which may be moved relatively thereto as the printing operation is performed. The current through the solenoid coil is limited by resisters of different values which are controlled by electrical gates for selectively varying the amount of current supplied to the coil for driving the hammer. The timing of the printing is kept in synchronization with the document movement by means of an electromechanical clock capable of dividing each character position into an equal number of zones. During the operation of the printing apparatus, the sequence of accessing the digits to be printed, positioning the print wheel, and firing the hammer continues as the document moves through the apparatus. Associated with the print wheel and jointly rotatable therewith is a disk having a plurality of coded positions represented by apertures therein each position representing a printing character position on the print wheel.
