Abstract (en)

[origin: US4521123A] Upon employment of a print element moved in line direction, those strokes containing an ascender are printed in a first motion of the print element for the representation of characters whose strokes respectively comprise a central area, a central area and an ascender or a central area and a descender. Subsequently, the recording medium is displaced relative to the print element such that those strokes containing descenders can be printed during a second motion of the print element. Those strokes which contain only a central area are printed either during the first motion or during the second motion of the print element. The recording medium is subsequently displaced by a height allocated to a line spacing.
