Compared to the older 9-pin models, a new 24-pin impact printer not only produced better-looking NLQ text, it printed the page more quickly ( largely due to the 24-pin's ability to print NLQ with a single pass ).

The original 20 and 24-pin PALs were described by MMI as medium-scale integration ( MSI ) devices.

There were also similar 24-pin versions of these PALs.

Epson's 24-pin LQ-series rose to become the new de-facto standard, at 24 / 180 inch ( per pass-7. 5 lpi ).

24-pin printers reached a dot-density of 360x360 dpi, a marketing figure aimed at potential buyers of competing ink-jet and laser-printers.

Not only could a 24-pin printer lay down a denser dot-pattern in a single-pass, it could simultaneously cover a larger area.

24-pin printers repeated this feat in bitmap graphics mode, producing higher-quality graphics in reduced time.

While the text-quality of a 24-pin was still visibly inferior to a true letter-quality printer — the daisy wheel or laser-printer, the typical 24-pin impact printer outpaced most daisy-wheel models.

As manufacturing costs declined, 24-pin printers gradually replaced 9-pin printers.

24-pin NLQ fonts generally used a dot-density of 360x180, the highest allowable with single-pass printing.

Most 24-pin printers offered 2 or more NLQ typefaces, but the rise of WYSIWYG software and GUI environments such as Microsoft Windows ended the usefulness of NLQ.

After MMI succeeded with the 20-pin PAL parts, AMD introduced the 24-pin 22V10 PAL with additional features.

As the development of this technique post-dated the widespread availability of 24-pin dot matrix printers and coincided with the arrival of affordable laser printers in offices, it was never a popular approach.

IEEE-488 specifies a 24-pin Amphenol-designed micro ribbon connector.

This connector did not gain significant market acceptance against the established 24-pin connector.

It allows daisy-chaining up to 14 instruments to a system controller using a 24-pin connector.

Conventionally Mini-ITX boards use a 20-or 24-pin " original ATX " power connector.

After MMI succeeded with the 20-pin PAL parts introduced circa 1978, AMD introduced the 24-pin 22V10 PAL with additional features.

It allows daisy-chaining up to 14 instruments to a system controller using a 24-pin connector.

This form factor was geared specifically towards the needs of high-end systems, and included specifications for a WTX power supply unit ( PSU ) using two WTX-specific 24-pin and 22-pin Molex connectors.

First, OKI continues to make dot-matrix printers ( both 9-pin and 24-pin ) capable of printing multi-part tractor-feed forms.

alt = An engraved print showing a man in a distinctive naval uniform dragging two crocodiles with human heads.

Most dot matrix printers have a single vertical line of dot-making equipment on their print heads ; others have a few interleaved rows in order to improve dot density.

Piezoelectric ( also called Piezo ) inkjet allows a wider variety of inks than thermal inkjet as there is no requirement for a volatile component, and no issue with kogation ( buildup of ink residue ), but the print heads are more expensive to manufacture due to the use of piezoelectric material ( usually PZT, lead zirconium titanate ).

The substrate is usually heated immediately before and after the print heads apply ink.

Industrial fixed-head print heads are manufactured by these companies: Kodak Versamark, Trident, Xaar, Spectra ( Dimatix ), Hitachi / Ricoh, HP Scitex, Brother, Konica Minolta, Seiko Epson, and ToshibaTec ( a licensee of Xaar ).

This type of construction can also be seen as an effort by printer manufacturers to stem third party ink cartridge assembly replacements, as these would-be suppliers don't have the ability to manufacture specialized print heads.

Most high-volume Hewlett-Packard inkjet printers use this setup, with the disposable print heads used on lower volume models.

Canon now uses ( in most models ) replaceable print heads which are designed to last the life of the printer, but can be replaced by the user if they should become clogged.

Professional solvent-and UV-curable ink wide-format inkjet printers generally include a " manual clean " mode that allows the operator to manually clean the print heads and capping mechanism and to replace the wiper blades and other parts used in the automated cleaning processes.

Many printer manufacturers discourage customers from using third-party inks, stating that they can damage the print heads due to not being the same formulation as the OEM inks, cause leaks, and produce inferior-quality output ( e. g. of incorrect color gamut ).

* In low-molecular-weight formulations ( i. e PEG 400 ), it is used in Hewlett-Packard designjet printers as an ink solvent and lubricant for the print heads.

Magnetic IX caused some problems for photo processors, who found their magnetic reading heads had to be cleaned frequently, or that their equipment's ability to print this information was limited.

In computer peripherals flexible circuits are used on the moving print head of printers, and to connect signals to the moving arm carrying the read / write heads of disk drives.

The tape was placed into a second specially adapted Flexowriter which had two paper tape reading heads ; one would read the text while the other controlled the spacing of the print.

A typical desktop inkjet printer can print just 15 colors ( the combination of dot or no dot from cyan, magenta, yellow and black print heads ), and some of these ink combinations are not useful because when the black ink is used it typically obscures any of the other colors.

Some of the earliest recordings, made in the 1940's demonstrated that psychiatrists reacted immediately to anger and anxiety in the sound track, whereas written records of the same interview offered far fewer cues to therapy which -- if they were at all discernible in print -- were picked up only by the most skilled and sensitive experts.

This allowed other Macintoshes on the LAN that were waiting to print to display status messages indicating that the printer was busy, and what the job was that it was busy with.

These early print advertisements were used mainly to promote books and newspapers, which became increasingly affordable with advances in the printing press ; and medicines, which were increasingly sought after as disease ravaged Europe.

From the early 1940s to the late 1950s, there were scores of Sunday strip-style magazine ads for Cream of Wheat using the Abner characters, and in the 1950s, Fearless Fosdick became a spokesman for Wildroot Cream-Oil hair tonic in a series of daily strip-style print ads.

Broadside ballads ( also known as ' roadsheet ’, ‘ stall ’, ‘ vulgar ’ or ‘ come all ye ’ ballads ) were a product of the development of cheap print in the 16th century.

Wide carriage printers were often used by businesses, to print accounting records on 11 " x 14 " tractor-feed paper.

Because far less motion was involved than in a conventional dot matrix printer, these printers were very fast compared to dot matrix printers and were competitive in speed with formed-character line printers while also being able to print dot matrix graphics.

These were also used to print large billboards.

The signals from the telegraph line were temporarily stored on a set of five electromagnets, before being decoded to print the corresponding character on paper tape.

The instructions available were: add, subtract, multiply, collate, shift left, shift right, load multiplier register, store ( and optionally clear ) accumulator, conditional skip, read input tape, print character, round accumulator, no-op and stop.

By 1951, 87 subroutines in the following categories were available for general use: floating point arithmetic ; arithmetic operations on complex numbers ; checking ; division ; exponentiation ; routines relating to functions ; differential equations ; special functions ; power series ; logarithms ; miscellaneous ; print and layout ; quadrature ; read ( input ); nth root ; trigonometric functions ; counting operations ( simulating repeat until loops, while loops and for loops ); vectors ; and matrices.

Later, his lecture notes, especially those for quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and thermodynamics, were transcribed into books which are still in print.

The negative cutter referred to this list while processing the negative, splitting the shots into rolls, which were then contact printed to produce the final film print or answer print.

Introduced by Ditto Corporation in 1923, these machines were known for the next six decades as Ditto Machines and used by fans because they were cheap to use and could ( with a little effort ) print in color.

The fiction and worldbook were briefly available in print from Heliograph Inc.

The novels were briefly in print from Heliograph Inc.

Scenes of a crowd fleeing Godzilla that appeared later in the Japanese print were moved to an earlier point in the movie ( and corresponding footage of them gathering around Godzilla after he is knocked out by the Super X was removed ), the Super X fight was re-arranged ( in the Japanese version, Godzilla fires his atomic ray at the Super X after being hit with cadmium missiles, not before ), and various other scenes of destruction were either placed in a different order or deleted completely.
