ABSTRACT:
An impact type dot printer is controlled to enable a printing head to start printing dot-matrix characters at aligned print starting positions. A print timing signal is generated in synchronism with rotation of the platen, the print timing signal being indicative of positions in which a print hammer strikes projections on a platen and composed of a pulse-free blank and a plurality of subsequent pulses in one cycle. The printing head is moved from a home position for pre-spacing prior to a normal printing operation. A home signal is generated when the printing head leaves the home position. The number of pulses of the print timing signal is counted until a first pulse-free blank arrives while the printing head is moving for pre-spacing. Data on a phase relationship between the print timing signal and the home signal is stored on the basis of the counted number of pulses. The number of pulses of the print timing signal is generated after the printing head has left the home position until the first pulse-free blank arrives each time the printing head is moved in spacing increments for the normal printing operation. Print starting positions are determined on the basis of the stored data and the last-mentioned number of pulses as counted.
