PURPOSE:To automize arrangement and photocomposition of characters by a system wherein idle-printed photocomposed characters are allocated and displayed in a line of a given length on a monitor display and, in permanent photocomposition, photocomposing positions relative to a photosensitive material are moved with the same pitch in conjunction with spacings between the arranged characters. CONSTITUTION:An idle printing start position A and a goal position B are both displayed on the screen of a monitor display 6, and characters 26 on a character disc 8 are selected so that idle-printed photocomposed characters are displayed between A and B with half brightness. A controller 2 computes the number of characters and the dimension between A and B, correctly arranges the respective characters between A and B with given intervals, and then stores the spacing interval. In permanent photocomposition, the first character is displayed with full brightness through a camera 23 and printed through a lens system 16 on a photosensitive material 18 wound round a magazine drum 19. The character on the screen is moved by a given pitch to display a next character in a character in a character pick-up window 25, and a photocomposing position relative to the photosensitive material 18 is moved by the spacing between the arranged characters using a pulse motor 17 or 20. By so doing, it becomes possible to automatically arranged and photocompose characters with desired spacings. |
