Abstract
The invention relates to a process for driving printing elements of a dot matrix printer in which the matrix dots to be printed are to be thinned out without any thin lines, in particular steeply inclined thin lines, being lost. To this end, before thinning out each matrix dot to be printed is associated with another matrix dot disposed on a nearest neighbor grid point in a certain direction of addition. After thinning out, the respective characters or images are printed sufficiently well and clearly. The process is intended for use in dot matrix printers.
