Abstract
A flying printing system using a type belt, in which in order to determine a type pitch M different from a predetermined print pitch N determined by the pitch of type hammers, the respective numbers d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 (d.sub.1 >d.sub.2) of print pitches N and type pitches M per a unit length L selected to be an integral of the print pitch N are selected so that M=N.multidot.d.sub.1 /d.sub.2. Types are arranged on the type belt in the order such that respective telegraph codes of the successively arranged types successively increase or decrease in binary numbers. Type-corresponding codes are shifted in a shift register in response to shift pulses synchronized with shifting of each type of the type belt. The type-corresponding codes in the shift register and input codes to be printed are compared with each other at time intervals d.sub.1 /d.sub.2 times the pulse intervals of the shift pulses to obtain a coincidence output to thereby drive the corresponding type hammers. Accordingly, the drive power capacity of the type hammer can be effectively reduced.
