Recorder

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To enter characters, patterns, etc., while preventing an ink clog, by shifting the position of a wire system printer according to a measured value, and by recording characters, patterns, etc., by the printer as well as the measured value. CONSTITUTION:The outputs of flowmeter 8 and pressure gauge 9 are A/D-converted 10 and stored in data register 11. Controller 8 processes the contents of register 11 as a strike-point position and the result is transferred to strike-point position register 38; and carriage driving motor 26 is actuated to move the carriage to the position that corresponds to the measured value by position controller 28, and printer 6 is driven to record the measured value on recording paper 5. Further, characters, patterns, etc., selected with selection switches 121-12n are read out of storage device 3 to transfer the stored data to strike-point position register 38, and strike-point wires 23 are driven simultaneously to print out the characters, patterns, etc., on recording paper 5.
