High-speed thermal printing

Abstract

Thermal Printing is a unique new concept in non-impact printing, whereby electrical signals are directly converted to heat to produce a printed output. This paper covers a program to build an advanced development model of a High-Speed Thermal Teleprinter, utilizing the Thermal Printing technique, for the U. S. Army Electronics Command. The teleprinter, which prints at 240 characters per second, was the result of the development.
