Abstract
A control system for a bidirectional printer having a print head carriage movable at different speeds on different printing lines provides for equal stopping distance in the margin at both high and low speed operation. This is accomplished by delaying the initiation of stopping carriage motion when printing at low speed so that the carriage travels farther into the margin and this distance is controlled so as to be equal to the travel distance at the end of a line printed at high speed.
