ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for generating characters using a dot-matrix printer for generating image dots having printing means which is moved along a recording medium in a line-by-line fashion, incorporates a matrix memory for storing a plurality of character fields of identical size made up of line-defining binary character element sequences. The character fields are read out from the matrix memory and are converted into drive signals for the recording means. Character fields containing displaceable character elements contain an identifier character. A recognition arrangement recognizes the presence of an identifier character in a character field, and selectively delays the drive signals for those character element sequences which are to be delayed. Each sequence to be delayed is identified as delayed by an identifier character.
