Abstract: The printer is for printing a continuous fan-folded paper web having series of perforations at each side edge thereof which is adapted to be fed into the printer from the bottom of the printer. The printer comprises an upper housing member swingably supported by a lower housing member so that the upper housing member is movable between a closed position for the printing operation and an opened position at which an accessible space is provided between the bottom of the upper housing member and the lower housing member. The upper housing member includes a printing mechanism and a pin-tractor mechanism for feeding the paper web a portion of which extends outwardly downwardly from the bottom of the upper housing member. The lower housing member has a feed-in opening at the bottom thereof for the paper web.

Abstract: A signal generator circuit for a television receiver employed in a videotex or CAPTAIN system comprises a reference signal oscillator for producing a reference signal and a synchronizing signal generator for generating a horizontal synchronization signal synchronized with the reference signal. A frequency divider is responsive to the reference signal for producing a color sub-carrier signal. A phase-locked loop is responsive to the sub-carrier signal and includes a voltage-controlled oscillator. The voltage-controlled oscillator produces an output signal synchronized with the sub-carrier signal and having a series of rising edges. A rising edge of the sub-carrier signal periodically coincides with a rising edge of the signal from the voltage-controlled oscillator.
