A typesetting system comprises a plurality of user terminals which are connectible with a remote typesetting bureau through the public telephone system Each terminal has a display screen or VDU (3), an operating keybank (4) and a facsimile printer (9). The bureau has a photo- typesetter installation (22, 23) and a computer proof generator (24). On command by a user the proof generator (24) is operative to transmit over the connected telephone line (6) signals which operate the facsimile printer (9) at the user terminal to produce a hard copy proof of the type character image which has been set into a memory (28) of the typesetter installation (22, 28) by the user. This facsimile proof can be obtained before the typesetter (23) actually sets the type. |
