Abstract
An ink drop duplicating system employs a plurality of angularly extending ink drop print heads to reproduce an original document. Each printing head produces a row of drop streams which are individually controlled to deposit printing drops at a plurality of printing positions along a line extending perpendicular to the major axis of the printing head. Printing control information for the ink drop printing heads is generated by a photosensing array which extends across one major dimension of an original document and which is scanned across the other major dimension. Scanning data is stored on a magnetic disk. After one or more original documents have been completely scanned, the scanning data is read from the magnetic disk and reorganized to produce drop control signals for the ink drop printing heads.
