    Abstract: A non-impact thermal printer is formed using a pivoted stiffner-frame on which is mounted a printed circuit card-print head assembly. The card is slotted with the print heads mounted at the distal ends of the cantilevered portions to enable close compliance between print head read/write units and the print media through the torsional resilience of the circuit card cantilevered portions. Compact, simple structure is provided by having the printer control circuitry mounted on the same printed circuit card.

    Abstract: A line printer attachment for converting a display screen copier printer to a line printer. The last or extra line of the display is used as the line print buffer. An initiate print signal is generated upon detecting that the last or extra line is to be scanned. The initiate print signal is used to blank or inhibit the serial video data from the display screen and to enable the printer. The serial video data is constantly sent to the printer attachment but is ignored until the printer is enabled. With the printer enabled, printing takes place using the line print buffer data which has been serialized as serial video data. The print buffer data remains unchanged during the entire printing of the line where the printing is done in series of horizontal lines to complete the printing of a line. At the end of each horizontal line of print a vertical screen retrace occurs and the display screen is swept where again the last or extra line is detected and another initiate print signal is generated. The next horizontal line of the series of horizontal lines for completing a line of print is printed and the operation repeats until an entire line of printing is completed.

    Abstract: A convenient hard copy output for a cathod ray tube (CRT) display device is provided by a thermal printer which prints a line of dots equal in number to the number of dots in one raster scan or line on the CRT screen. The information is printed during one such raster scan, in each refresh cycle of the screen, until the entire screen content has been reproduced. Use of one line during each refresh cycle enables the reproduction of the screen content by gating the serial data from the display control circuitry without the need for a separate character generator or related circuitry and also accommodates the use of an interlaced raster.
