Abstract
A system is shown for driving a drop-on-demand ink jet printer in a manner enabling the printer to produce symbols, such as those in the ASCII, on a moving surface at a much faster rate than it normally can. To this end, the system is arranged to produce characters of a selected font by driving ink jet nozzles in a manner such that each nozzle is fired to produce a drop of ink no more often than every other position at which ink is to be applied to print in a moving surface.
