The photocomposing machine is adapted to provide over eight thousand characters during operation. Characters are arranged in bands on a plurality of rotating drums, and multiple character keys and alternate keyboard displays are employed to permit selection of a specific character. Basic functional codes such as keyboard identification, type font identification, and shift identification are used to accomplish drum and band selection. A character position code is then used to locate the character in the selected band on the selected drum.
