Abstract
The ink jet dot printer comprises a head mounted on a carriage movable along a platen supporting the paper and is formed by a plurality of tubes and piezoelectric transducer for ejecting the ink, which are supported by two parallel plates spaced from one another, between which a polymerizable resin is cast to form a single block. The tubes are aligned in a single row F--F' in a direction inclined with respect to the printing line, in such manner that the distance between the extreme tubes measured perpendicularly to the printing line is equal to the maximum height of the characters. On the outside of the front plate supporting the tubes there is fixed a thin plate bearing a row of nozzles, each of which is aligned with the corresponding ejector tube. The expulsion of the drops of ink is obtained by means of the compression exerted on the tubes by the piezoelectric transducers activated in parallel by electric pulses generated by an energizing circuit under the control of a driving logic circuit by means of which it is possible to vary the slope of the printed characters and obtain bidirectional printing at high speed.
