  • Patent number: 4251161
    Abstract: A serial printer comprises a carriage 1 movable along a printing line by a motor MC with a feedback transducer FBC signalling increments of carriage advance. A daisy wheel 2 carries characters to be printed and is rotated by a stepping motor MS with a feedback transducer FBS. In order to maximize printing speed without complex control of the carriage speed a control unit signals when the carriage 1 reaches each printing point in response to feedback pulses from FBC, whether fixed or proportional spacing is used. If the motor MS has by then completed character selection, as determined by counting feedback pulses from FBS, the carriage is not stopped and printing takes place on-the-fly. If character selection has not been completed, the carriage is stopped and printing is effected when character selection is completed.
