Abstract: The invention concerns composing systems including techniques and apparatus for achieving justification of columnar data. In one version, Method A, the system derives columnar data from a source media, such as the familiar ''''Presswire'''' paper tape having pairs of text columns arranged in successive justified lines, recognizes the occurrence of a code in the media identifying the center of the line between the two columns, if such occurs within a certain range, compares the line center code with a predetermined range about the center location of a previously entered line measure, and develops the necessary justification routines to insure that each of the double columns in successive lines is justified to a standard width thereby insuring that the gutter (or white space) between the column segments is of a uniform width and has straight edges. In a second version, Method B, data derived from the tape media is also scanned to determine the occurrence of the line center in successive lines, but the necessary justification routines for insuring a uniform placement of the gutter (or white space) is based upon a comparison of the center indicating code with a range about the center of the fixed width of both column segments in an individual line. The system readily accommodates a number of column segments greater than two in individual lines and column segments that differ in width. Also, it is receptive to input data derived from sources other than a paper tape media, and the output of the system, rather than being a printer, as described herein, can be any one of a number of composing entities, recording units, communicating units, or the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic measure selection feature for a composing system having a paper tape input and a printer output. The paper tape is the type commonly used in type setting operations and carries news matter in coded form for operating line casting equipment and the like. Lines of news matter are normally based on a full column width or measure but frequently, as in the case of race results, entries, handicaps, and similar matter, require the intermixing of full column and half column lines. A change in the measure used for justifying the lines is usually made manually by an operator who recognizes visual indicia on the tape indicative of a change in measure. The present system effects an automatic change in measure by accumulating fixed width values of characters in the individual lines as they are recognized, comparing the total fixed width value accumulated with previously entered half column and full column measure values and selecting the appropriate measure to be used for each line on an individual basis. The system also provides for a manual standard measure operation, as well as the automatic operation.

Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE POSITION OF PRINTED INK DROPLETS Each ink droplet printed on a recording surface, which has relative movement along a first axis with respect to ink droplet producing means, forms part of a character, and may be disposed in any granular position in a second direction, which is substantially orthogonal to the first axis, relative to a single predetermined position, which is the gutter stream position. Information concerning the location on the recording surface of each printed droplet relative to the single predetermined position in the second direction and to the prior printed droplet or a margin along the first axis is stored in a read only storage (ROS). The information concerning the location of the droplet in the second direction is a voltage applied to charging means with the magnitude of the voltage in conjunction with any induction created by prior adjacent droplets of the ink stream determining the deflection of the droplet. Synchronization of the relative movement along the first axis with respect to the generation of the droplets is obtained whenever there is a predetermined spacing between the printed droplets along the first axis after it has been determined that synchronization is required.

Abstract: An ink jet printer in which the nozzle for emitting a stream of ink drops, the charge electrode for charging ink drops in accordance with signals to be recorded, and the deflection electrodes for providing an electric field therebetween to deflect ink drops in accordance with the magnitude of the charges on the drops, are mounted on a carrier which moves relative to an ink drop record receiving media for forming images indicative of the signals on the deflected ink drops. To compensate for the inclination of the image formed by the carrier movement relative to the recording media, a voltage gradient or difference is applied across at least one of the deflection electrodes so as to effect electric field distortion intermediate the electrodes to thereby compensate for the slant due to carrier velocity.

Abstract: A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING THE INCLINATION OF PATTERNS IN INK JET PRINTERS An ink jet printer in which the nozzle for emitting a stream of ink drops, the charge electrode for charging ink drops in accordance with signals to be recorded, and the deflection electrodes for providing an electric field therebetween to deflect ink drops in accordance with the magnitude of the charges on the drops, are mounted on a carrier which moves relative to an ink drop record receiving media for forming images indicative of the signals on the deflected ink drops. To compensate for the inclination of the image formed by the carrier movement relative to the recording media, a voltage gradient or difference is applied across at least one of the deflection electrodes so as to effect electric field distortion intermediate the electrodes to thereby compensate for the slant due to carrier motion. The amount of distortion is controlled by monitoring the carrier velocity and automatically feeding back a signal to the distortion creating voltage difference to control the voltage difference dependent upon carrier velocity.
