ボンの消費量を減少せしめるものである。 In the present invention, the printing pitch information for controlling the movement of the carriage during printing in which the printing pitch is variable depending on the size of the printing type, that is, proportional printing, indicates the horizontal width of the printing type. By controlling the feed rate of the printing ribbon, the amount of printing ribbon consumed can be reduced. Furthermore, when using a type wheel that prints 12 or 15 characters per inch with small type, the printing pitch information is processed by the multiplication rate information of each type wheel to control the ribbon feeding amount, and the printing ribbon is This reduces the consumption of

る。 Assume that the type wheel 10K is now inserted into the printing section. The code mark M representing 10K is detected by the detection section KS, and the address of the type 10K of the type wheel is specified in the ROM 2 according to the instruction, and a multiplication factor of 1 is applied to the multiplier MLT. type wheel 1
0K starts rotating, a well-known character selection operation is performed, and when the desired character comes to the printing position, the printing hammer is driven and printing is performed. Next, the address of the printed letters in ROM1 is specified, and the print pitch information for that address is given, for example, 6 for uppercase letter A, 5 for lowercase letter a.
is applied to the multiplier MLT, multiplication by 6×1, 5×1, etc. is performed, and the multiplication result is sent to the ribbon feed command.
Store in subtraction counter DK in synchronization with IRF. At the same time, the flip-flop is activated by the ribbon feed command IRF.
FP is set and gate G is opened, pulse motor PM starts rotating due to the stepping pulse of PG, and ink ribbon IR starts to be sent. The contents of the subtraction counter DK are subtracted for each shot of the oscillator OSC, and become 0.
When the output signal is reached, the flip-flop
Reset FP. As a result, the gate G closes, the pulse motor PM stops rotating, and ribbon feeding stops. In this way, since the setting time of the flip-flop FP varies depending on the value of the multiplication result, the operation time of the pulse motor PM becomes longer or shorter, and therefore the ink ribbon feed amount depends on the printing pitch unique to each type. can be controlled.

Ｋに比して少なくなる。 Also, when replacing the type wheel with 12K
The multiplication factor 0.9 of ROM2 is now applied to the multiplier MLT, and the print pitch information of ROM1 is 6, 5, 3.
etc. is multiplied by 0.9, so the ribbon feed amount is 10
It is smaller than K.

このように活字ホイールの掛率情報記憶装置と
乗算器を備えれば、ROM１は特定の活字ホイー

好ましい。 If the type wheel multiplier information storage device and multiplier are provided in this way, the ROM 1 only needs to be used for a specific type wheel, which is preferable since a large-capacity storage device is not required.

点がある。[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, the present invention uses multiplication rate information to control the ribbon feeding amount for a plurality of type wheels according to the characters to be printed and the type of type wheels. This reduces the consumption of one-time ribbon for printing and allows for effective use of one-time ribbon for printing.Also, since a pulse motor is used, it is possible to precisely control the amount of ribbon feed, and the operator can move the type wheel. There is an advantage that a wide range of freedom of selection can be achieved with a simple drive circuit.
