ABSTRACT:
A control circuit for use in conjunction with dot matrix printers which includes a command word gate which is connected to a data source to receive data signals, the command word gate generating a control circuit enabling signal in response to reception of a predetermined coded command word signal from the data source. A density latch gate is connected to the data source to receive density code signals and to the command word gate and generates a density code output signal in response to reception of the command word signal and density code signals received from the data source. Connected to the density latch gate is a printer signal generating circuit with produces an output signal having a frequency proportional to the density code signal. This signal is applied to a dot matrix printer to vary the ratio of the lateral velocity of the printing head of a printer and the printing frequency of the printing hammers thereof to thereby selectively alter the horizontal dimension of alphanumeric characters produced by the printer.
