<p>The device for implementing the method according to the inventionis characterized in that it comprises an oblong self-contained portable casing (400), of the tracing instrument type, which presents an optical sensor (300) and at least one printing head (600) which are functionally independent of each other, and in that it includes at least one memory (306), an independent power source (307), battery or the like, a first circuit incorporating the sensor (300), a transcoder (304) and the memory (306), a second circuit incorporating the memory (306), a transcoder (312) and the printing head (600), as well as at least one contactor (350-351) for setting selectively either the first circuit for acquiring the signs and for storing the corresponding data, or the second circuit for retrieving stored data and for carrying the corresponding signs. Thus, by displacing manually the device on a sheet of paper, for example, words, phrases, ideograms or complete lines are acquired, corresponding data is stored and the acquired signs may then be reproduced on another medium.</p> |
