<p>A matrix printer subsystem incorporates print wires arranged according to a slanted pattern rather than in the conventional columnar pattern. The printer subsystem is inter-connected with a host system (1) for receiving command and data information through an interface (201), the data information being entered into two text buffers, in storage (216), each of which can accommodate a complete line of data to be printed. Provision is made for entering blank characters into the text buffers each time before significant data information is entered to thereby insure that areas such as the left and right margins which are not to be printed will not have any extraneous data present therein.</p> |
