Abstract (en)

[origin: US4803500A] An ink printer means suitable both for multi-color as well as for single-color printing. To this end, the ink printer head is interchangeably designed. A common drive circuit that is connected to the ink printer head via a coding matrix is used both for the color printing as well as for the single-color printing. The coding matrix can be directly allocated to the ink printer head or, on the other hand, it can be composed of a switchable connector strip into which the terminal elements of the ink printer head engage.
