A data capture terminal is disclosed which is particularly applicable for two-way data communications with a remote facility, such as a central data processor. The terminal employs a memory for storing data entered into the memory from various peripherals, such as an information reader, or a manually operated keyboard, or an input/output peripheral, such as a central data processor. Data entered into the memory from one of these peripherals may be communicated to an output peripheral, such as a visual display or a printing mechanism, or to a remote facility.

Data capture terminal

A data terminal is disclosed and which is particularly applicable for use in data capture and data readout in a data communication system. The terminal includes means for providing a data output presentation of indicia representative of various information data characters. The presentation of indicia may, for example, include a printing function. The terminal employs a memory which stores information data characters representative of different indicia to be presented. The data characters may be entered into the memory from a data source, such as a keyboard or a central data processor. Circuitry is provided for controlling the presentation of indicia so that the indicia is presented in an orientation determined by the sequence in which the data characters are read from the memory.
