Abstract
A single element type carrier having type characters with different printing areas is impacted against a recording medium with different impact intensities substantially corresponding to the different printing areas to effect uniform printing. The type carrier is driven in a printing movement by a resiliently biased member which imparts an impacting force to the type carrier as the member moves along a path in response to the rotational movement of a cam. To control the impacting force imparted to the type carrier, one of a plurality of stop abutments is selectively positionable in the path of the resiliently biased member to control the length of movement along the path during which the member imparts an impacting force to the type carrier.
