ABSTRACT:
A block of data corresponding to characters and spaces is stored in a buffer (32) and then recirculated through the buffer (32) twice. During the first recirculation consecutive character data and space data are counted and the counts stored in a count memory (34). During the second recirculation a maximum length of time required for type selection is computed for each set of consecutive character data and used to compute a carriage drive speed corresponding to the computed maximum length of time. The computed speeds and also computed speeds corresponding to sets of consecutive space data are stored in a speed memory (41). The data are then fed from the buffer (32) to a type selector (36) while the speeds are fed to a carriage drive (42). The carriage (13) is fed at the computed speed corresponding to the respective set of consecutive data while the respective set of consecutive data is fed to the type selector (36).
