Abstract: An electronic typewriter including a memory storing therein text data which is printed as printing signals are produced. The electronic typewriter enables the operator to pass judgment as to whether printing can be performed on a portion of a sheet of paper between the last printed line and the trailing end of the sheet when the sheet of paper has been set in the typewriter in a usual manner, so that printing can be continued when it is possible to do so. When it is judged that it is impossible to continue printing due to a lack of space, printing is stopped and the existence of the condition of "paper empty" is indicated, prompting the operator to insert a new sheet of paper.

Abstract: A thermal printer using a thermal transfer-printing ribbon including a thermal head movable between an operative position in which it is held in pressing engagement with a printing sheet and an inoperative position in which it is released from pressing engagement with the printing sheet. After lapse of a predetermined time following completion of a printing operation or interruption thereof, the thermal head is automatically moved from the operative position in which it has performed a printing operation to the inoperative position in which it is away from the printing sheet and performs no printing operation.

Abstract: A thermal printer including a thermal head automatically moved between an operative position in which it is held in pressing engagement with a printing sheet and an inoperative position in which it is released from pressing engagement with the printing sheet. The thermal printer also includes a capacitor serving as a battery device for storing an electric charge when a power source is turned on and releases the stored electric charge when the power source is turned off, to thereby move the thermal head to the inoperative position in which it is released from pressing engagement with the printing sheet.

Abstract: An electronic typewriter has a vertical tab key for printing one continuous vertical line, extending in a plurality of printing lines. By operating the vertical tab key, a control unit detects a set paper feed amount and feeds the paper reversely to a position whereat printing of a vertical line is done, in alignment with a vertical line printed in a previous printing line, thereby to print a continuous vertical line. The paper is fed forwards by an amount less than the unit length of vertical line which can be an amount less than a unit length of the vertical line as one character, and then the vertical line is printed. Such operations are repeated so that one vertical line continues from the vertical line of the previous printing line to the present printing line.

Abstract: When data entered from a keyboard of a typewriter is stored in a text memory and a text is created, the text creation work may be stopped temporarily. When a text is created, after stopping the text creation, in continuation to that stored already in the text memory, margin information and tab information in the text already stored in the text memory are retrieved in the text from the beginning to the end, the content of the register to store the margin information and tab information, is rewritten depending on the retrieved margin information and tab information.

Abstract: Data entered from a keyboard of a typewriter is stored in a text memory, and then, the data stored in the text memory is read out and printed on a paper. In order to fully print the data stored in the text memory, a first printing control means is operated. In order to stop the printing operation at a position which was not intended when the text was created, the printing operation is stopped by a second printing control means every time one line is printed.

Abstract: In an electronic typewriter adapted to be set in an automatic power off mode, when no key operation is made for a predetermined period of time after the final key operation, the automatic power off mode can be cancelled through operation of a clearing key and the condition based on the key operation finally made, is reset. In the automatic power off mode, the OFF-ON operation of a main switch also cancels the automatic power off mode and resets the condition based on the key operation finally made just before the setting of the automatic power off mode.
