ABSTRACT:
A word processing system capable of encoding or printing a large number of characters is provided. The present invention is particularly valuable in the encoding and printing of a large number of characters in a foreign language such as Japanese Kanji, and the like. The word processing system will respond to either local switch control or computer generated printing commands. A font storage tray can be operatively connected with optical readers or the like to encode X-Y character positions for storage. The word processing system is easily convertible from a manual typewriter operation to an automatic printer operation. In the manual or encoding mode of operation a removable stylus is utilized in a panographic manner for selecting and positioning the font characters for respectively, loading and printing as a typewriter, or coordinating the combination of optical read codes to store or generate X and Y positions. When converting the word processing system to an automatic printer responsive to computer printing commands a pair of X and Y positional lead screw connectors, connect the storage font tray to appropriate motor drives. The removable stylus character indicator can also be removed from the font storage tray if desirable. Finally, an operatonal mode switch is utilized to disconnect all local operator controls and to initiate a zero position search sequence to provide an absolute reference to enable the word processing system to respond correctly to automatic control.
