A solid state multiple mode stylus array capable of printing, copying, or transmission, the various operating components of which are integrally formed on a substrate to provide a monolithic device. The array components include plural printing styli arranged in one or more rows to form a printing array; a shift register, the output of successive shift register stages being coupled to successive styli, the shift register having input and output ports for the receipt and discharge of image pixels; plural scanning elements arranged in one or more rows to form a scanning array for scanning images and producing image pixels representative thereof, the output of successive scanning elements being coupled to the input of successive shift register stages; clock means for driving the shift register; and control means for selectively routing image pixels from either the input port or the scanning array to one of the printing array or the output port, or both.
