Abstract
The printer records images in the form of dots on electrical discharge-sensitive paper. A plurality of styli are mounted on a rotor. The paper is fed continuously through a curved guide in a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the rotor. This divisional patent is directed to the provision of an automatic blackness control circuit for varying the stylus voltage directly with the rotor speed so that the blackness and readability of the images remains relatively stable despite wide variations in operating speed.
