Arrangement for recording characters using mosaic recording mechanisms
First Claim
1. A device for recording characters on a recording carrier, comprising:
- recording means comprising a mosaic recording head including a plurality of first recording members which may be activated to record characters of a first height and a plurality of second recording members which may be activated to extend the recording height to a second height; and
recording height control means connected to said recording head and including a signal input, said recording height control means responsive to first input signals to selectively activate said first recording members to record characters of the first height and responsive to alternately received second input signals to selectively activate said first and second recording members to record characters of the second height.

Abstract
A device for recording characters on a recording carrier uses mosaic recording mechanisms. In addition to the recording of the characters in the required character height, additional recording members are arranged in the recording head and a control device for the mosaic recording mechanism is constructed in an expanded manner so that alternately a height-extended character formation can be executed over all recording members. The device is suitable for recording capital and small letters, and the control apparatus is constructed so that all alternatively the capital letters and numerals can be recorded in an extended manner by an additional amount provided for the short heights of the small letters. The control apparatus for each of the two character heights to be formed by the mosaic recording head has its own character generator and switching means are provided so that the two character generators can be alternately effective for activating the mosaic recording head.
