Abstract: A high speed desk top MICR printer for financial transaction documents and the like. The print wheel is stepped at a selectively variable rate determined by the number of required angular steps between consecutive printed characters. The step rate is selected to maximize print wheel acceleration and deceleration without loss of stepper motor synchronization.
