METHOD FOR RECORDING JUSTIFIED LINES OF TYPOGRAPHIC CHARACTERS

摘要

In the present method a digital computer receives a "raw" test input, which it justifies line by line, and stores in its memory the coded identity and location of each typographic character in the justified text. Also stored in the computer memory are the character-generating data for every typographic character which may appear in the text. The computer is programmed to scan its memory electronically in accordance with the scanning operation of a photographic recorder to provide binary output signals to the recorder which cause the latter to record narrow segments of the typographic characters at the proper locations on the record page.
