The typewriter comprises a character carrying daisywheel having flexible petals which is carried by a carriage that is movable transversely with respect to the platen roller. Mounted on the carriage are a motor for moving the carriage, a motor for character selection, a print hammer, a cartridge for the typing ribbon, a correction ribbon and a drive unit for advancing the typing ribbon and raising and advancing the correction ribbon. The structure of the hammer and the arrangement of the typing ribbon and the character carrying daisywheel are such that typing and reading of the line of print are possible without it being necessary for the typing ribbon to be raised. The carriage is displaced in the two directions from the current position to an intermediate position to the left of the desired position. The carriage is then positioned precisely by a tooth-type setting means after a undirectional displacement of the displacement motor.

An incremental impact printer of the dot matrix type. Binary words representative of data to be printed along a line of print may be accepted from either the printer keyboard or the output of a computer or other source. The printer electronics provides for either a single character or a burst of characters to be substantially instantaneously printed upon receipt. The print head is always moved to the right of the last character printed to facilitate observation of that character. The next character is printed by first moving the print head to the left of the last character printed and then abruptly reversing the print head to print one or a burst of characters "on the fly". A novel registration system serves the dual function of accurately locating the proper position for a character to be printed and determining the direction of movement of the print head at any given instant. The printer has a capability of receiving characters at a rate of 75,000 characters per second and of printing at a rate of up to 120 characters per second. The device can also be utilized in the transmission mode with the transmission rate through communication of other links being a function of the operator's typing speed. The printer is further capable of simultaneously accepting data while performing a printing operation.

A high speed serial printer having a platen or backing for print-receiving media and printing members for effecting display of indicia in printing lines on the media, including a print head having a printing end and selectively operable printing members; motion translation mechanism for oscillating the printing end of the print head laterally relative to the platen from a starting position for the length of a printing line and return to the starting position, which includes a pivot for the print head having an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of lateral movement of the print end, and drive mechanism for oscillating the print head about the pivot to minimize the force required to move the printing end of the print head, swinging of the print head on a pivot being materially more efficient than sliding the entire print head along a printing line.

In a back printer print hammers impact the document against type characters formed on upwardly projecting fingers of a steel band. The fingers are backed by a platen which is removable from the print position to permit inspection of the printed information through spaces between the fingers as the band moves along the print line.

A printer configured to contain a media cartridge, wherein the media cartridge includes: a base defining a media chamber and including a lower wall and an opposing upper wall; an identification circuit disposed on the lower wall, the identification circuit configured to engage with an electronic interface of a printer; a ledge on the upper wall of the base, the ledge configured to receive downward pressure from an inner surface of a lid of the printer in a closed position; wherein the identification circuit is aligned with the ledge to receive at least a portion of the downward pressure.

An object is to improve a user's convenience. There is provided a control unit for use in a liquid ejecting apparatus using a tank containing a liquid and a storage material attachable to and detachable from the liquid ejecting apparatus, and storing an amount of the liquid in the tank. After the storage material is not mounted on a predetermined place, the control unit receives an answer for a question to ask whether or not the liquid is injected to the tank.
摘要:
An image forming device for connection to first and second external devices, including a control unit having an alternate operation mode for performing alternating communication with external devices by switching communication at a predetermined cycle. During communication with one of such external devices, the control unit enables reception of commands and/or a print-start signal from that external device and refuses reception of commands and a print-start signal from another external device. When communication is changed over from one external device to another external device, the control unit provides an interval in which reception of commands and a print-start signal from both external devices is refused for a predetermined period of time.
