Abstract: A print head has a column of printing elements positioned at an angle between zero and ninety degrees relative to a permitted line of motion of the print head. A first motor is operable for positioning the print head along said permitted line of motion of the print head; A second motor is operable for positioning a first print receivable medium along a line of motion relative to the print head, where the line of motion of the first print receivable medium is normal to the permitted line of motion of the print head; A sensor is operable for detecting an insertion into the printer of a second print receivable medium. A third motor is operable for positioning the second print receivable medium along said line of motion relative to the print head, where the line of motion of the second print receivable medium is normal to the permitted line of motion of the print head. A process is operable for sending first signals translated through a first buffer to the first motor for controlling said first motor, second signals translated through a second buffer to said second motor for controlling the second motor, this signals translated through a third buffer to said motor for controlling said third motor, and fourth signals translated through a fourth buffer to said print head for printing images. Upon no detection of the second print receivable medium by the sensor, and receipt of the data signals, the processor is operable to control portrait mode printing of the images on the first print receivable medium by controlling positioning of the print head along the permitted line of motion of the print head. Upon (1) detection of the second print receivable medium by said sensor, and (2) receipt of the data signals, the processor is operable to control landscape mode printing of the images of the second print receivable medium by controlling positioning of the second print receivable medium along the line of motion of the second print receivable medium.

Abstract: Touch sensing direct input data display apparatus wherein display screen (1) is directly and solely supported within a housing by stiff springs (5) having essentially uniaxial freedom of motion. Strain gauge sensors (13) are applied directly to the springs (5) and are connected in a full Wheatstone bridge sensing circuit. The outputs of the sensors (13) are fed to a calculating device for calculating the X, Y and Z coordinate information relative to the point on the face of the display (1) which has been pushed or touched. The Z component is of total force and the X any Y components give the two dimensional location for the application of the force measured in the Z axis. The stiff springs (5) allow very little deflection to occur under normal touch imposed forces on the display screen (1). They permit essentially uniaxial motion only in the Z axis. The apparatus is mechanically robust and may be shipped and subjected to dropping or impact loads normally encountered in shipping without damage, has a relatively high natural frequency of vibration and produces high level, relatively continuous output signals for use.
