Electrical control circuitry for driving a rotational print head to initiate an endorsement on a single side of paper checks traveling past the print head at a relatively constant velocity, including a bistable device operatively connected to control a ramp generator for accelerating the print head at a relatively constant rate from a stopped position to a present printing velocity and then decelerating the print head to a rest state at the same relatively constant rate after completion of document endorsement. The circuitry responds to closely-spaced documents entering the endorser by interrupting the head during its deceleration mode and maintaining the head at its interrupted velocity for a certain time delay in order to reaccelerate the head back to printing velocity at the same relatively constant rate in time for proper endorsement.
