ABSTRACT:
A printhead assembly, having an individual print hammer and actuator assembly for every other column of line print, includes a low mass hammer and a hairpin spring coupled to the hammer rear portion, and an actuator assembly with side arms meeting at the arm tip for rapidly impacting characters on a type band. A plural flexure spring assembly provides uniform stress during actuator assembly movement and enables hammer and actuator positional adjustment to be made by frontal access, and a slotted bearing assembly inclines each print hammer at a slight angle off the perpendicular to the print line and the plane of the record medium.
