Abstract
A justifying text writing reproducing machine for automatic or manual typing of text includes a keyboard enabling an operator to manually type text, and reader means responsive to coded information on a coded medium for automatically typing lines of text. The machine is responsive to separate coded function information on the coded medium for conditioning the machine to perform separate functions such as justification, print or noprint, bold or regular typing, and for printing upper or lower case characters, and the machine is responsive to other separate coded information for conditioning the machine to perform combinations of such functions. The conditioning may be overridden. The carriage of the machine is stepped incrementally in order to enable display of characters with different predetermined widths. When the coded information corresponds to determined text type, such as an underline, however, the carriage is not stepped for the imprinting of such text type, although it is stepped for other text type that may accompany the underline or other determined text type. In the automatic reproduction of text, in order to allow time for completion of operating steps, the presentation of new coded information to the machine is responsive to completion of the function of the next preceding coded information.
