Abstract
A dot printer compatible with a bowling scorer system is disclosed wherein game score data is stored for a plurality of bowlers; one character of such data for each bowler is converted to a dot matrix compatible format; and a columnar portion of each converted character is printed for each player, the print operation being repeated until the characters are all printed. The system is uniquely compatible with printing of a game score background grid, whereby certain dot printing elements are energized in printing every column to print the grid's horizontal lines; and all vertical dot elements are concurrently energized at designated intervals between character printings to print vertical lines.
