摘要:
A printing device in which a roll having a plurality of characters disposed thereon is displaceable with respect to at least one printing hammer. The printing hammer cooperates with a coil which, when excited, generates a field which by cooperation with a stationary field, puts the hammer into motion and drives it against the character on the roll to be printed. The hammer is arranged to be movable in the device so that the distance between the hammer and the roll is adjustable. A control device is provided which measures the hammer flying time and compares this time with a nominal flying time and which, in the case of a difference, displaces the hammer relative to the roll and also changes the driving force of the hammer.

To obtain a substantially uniform print density while printing at high speed with a hammer-type impact printer, the hammer is electromagnetically driven in response to an energizing current which decays with a predetermined time constant from a high initial level toward a set point level which is automatically adjusted for different classes of characters so that the impact energy imparted to the hammer is regulated as a function of the character being printed. To adaptively absorb the shock forces generated by the rebounding hammer, the energizing current for the electromagnetic driver is reduced to a predetermined fraction of the set point level.

Impression control for an impact printer is provided by changing the width of the pulse applied to the print hammers in accordance with the thickness of the forms on which printing is being performed and in accordance with the voltage of the source energizing the print hammers, so as to maintain a constant impact force to provide uniform print density for different forms thicknesses. Misregistration of characters caused by a variation in the rate of movement of the print hammer is compensated for by changing the start time of the pulse energizing the hammer.

Control circuits for high-speed printers having solenoid actuated hammers, in which for each hammer the solenoid is connected through a current-control switch to a source of current, for each switch there is an AND gate having two input terminals, one being a voltage tolerant terminal connected to a register for a logic signal indicating when the hammer is to be fired, and the other being a control terminal connected to a common terminal for all of the gates that is adapted to be connected to a control pulse generator of precise level and duration.
摘要:
A printer in which print densities of print heads can be adjusted simply and rapidly and set to have an optimum impact force, and a method of adjusting a print density are provided. Concretely, print density patterns which can be set at regular steps toward the high and low density sides of a predetermined density are generated. On the basis of the print density patterns, printing is conducted on a recording medium. A pattern in which a desired print density appears is selected and the print densities of the print heads are absolutely or relatively adjusted.
摘要:
A printing apparatus system includes a plurality of type units each having a plurality of type elements and each being different from the others. Each type unit may be mounted in the apparatus. A detector detects which of the type units is so mounted and produces a detection signal representative thereof. The printing pressure with which each type element is imprinted on a print medium is determined in accordance with the particular type wheel mounted in the apparatus as indicated by the detection signal. Additionally, the amount of advance of an ink ribbon for imprinting a type element on a type unit is determined in accordance with the particular type unit mounted in the apparatus, again as indicated by the detection signal.

A recording apparatus has a memory for storing information entered from a key input device, whereby the stored information can be used to rapidly and precisely position erasing means at a previously recorded indicium for erasure thereof. The apparatus may also have at least one drive system which controls the printing pressure, the amount of printing ribbon feeding, or the amount of printing sheet feeding, and a memory for storing information to regulate the drive systems. One embodiment of the apparatus is an electronic typewriter.

Print drums are described wherein a special "alignment character" is placed, along with print-symbols, on the surface of the print drum, mixed-in with at least one of the character sets.

Disclosed are Power Encoder means for imprinting MICR characters on checks, with optical check-sensing means disposed along a check-transport path, including optical skew-sensor means and a transport control arrangement for advancing checks past processing stations according to one or several "velocity-profiles", depending upon the type and/or condition of the check.
摘要:
A hammer driving mechanism in a printing is arranged to prevent double striking during erasing operations. A controller is provided to control the hammer drive means or a stopper based upon whether an erase command or a print command is received.
