    Abstract: A replaceable font module (8) for a matrix printer includes an interrogable storage device (12) containing information representing graphic patterns and is connected to cooperate with a corresponding receptacle (100). The module (8) and receptacle (100) are configured to allow insertion without intense operator attention by virtue of a camming surface (48) on the module that cooperates with reference edge (154) of receptacle (100) to provide an undulating but positive latching motion in response to a simple operator insertion motion. As a part of the latching motion, a wiping action of spring contact (134) along contact pad (22) to assure a high quality contact.
