Abstract
An electrothermal printing unit for writing dots matrix characters on a thermosensitive paper comprises a print head carrying a plurality of thermo-activable printing elements aligned along a printing line of the recording medium. The head is reciprocated in a direction parallel to the printing line of the recording medium. The recording medium is moved incrementally perpendicular to the direction of a line of printing in synchronization with the movement of the head and control means are provided for selectively activating the printing elements at a succession of positions of the head in each of a succession of strokes thereof in an arrangement such that each element print all the points of at least one character of the line of characters during the succession of strokes.
