Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for and a method of printing complex characters using a high speed bidirectional on-the-fly printer. In accordance with the present method complex characters are printed in at least two steps. Once the first portion of a character has been printed and prior to the printing of the next character the carrier is turned around at point (60) and again moved past the print position (64) where the remaining portion of the first mentioned character is printed. This approach is termed "double turn-around".
