Claims
- 1. A typewriting apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting information to be printed;
- discrimination means for discriminating whether the information input by said input means requires a normal degree of precision or an increased degree of precision of the printing position on a recording medium;
- a carrier for supporting a printing head;
- a pulse motor for moving said carrier; and
- control means for controlling said pulse motor such that, when said discrimination means discriminates that the information to be printed requires an increased degree of precision of the printing position, said carrier is temporarily stopped at a position in front of one or more target printing positions by a predetermined number of steps and then forwardly moved to the one or more target printing positions by repeating the forward movement and stopping of said carrier, wherein the information to be printed is printed at the target printing positions.
- 2. A typewriting apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting a character to be printed;
- instruction means for instructing printing in a bold printing mode;
- a carrier for supporting a printing head;
- a pulse motor for moving said carrier; and
- control means for controlling said pulse motor such that, when printing in the bold printing mode is instructed by said instruction means, said carrier is temporarily stopped at a position in front of one or more target printing positions by a predetermined number of steps, and then forwardly moved to the one or more target printing positions by repeating the forward movement and stopping of said carrier, wherein the character to be printed is printed at the target printing positions.
- 3. A typewriting apparatus comprising:
- input means for inputting information to be printed;
- discrimination means for discriminating whether the information input by said input means requires a normal degree of precision or an increased precision of the printing position on a recording medium;
- a carrier for supporting a printing head;
- a pulse motor for moving said carrier; and
- control means for changing the timing of energization of the driving phases of said pulse motor and thereby controlling said pulse motor such that said carrier is moved from a position in front of one or more target printing positions by a predetermined number of steps to the target printing positions by repeating forward movement toward the target printing positions and stopping of said carrier in response to a discrimination by said discrimination means, wherein the information to be printed is printed at the target printing positions.
- 4. A typewriting apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising memory means for storing a variety of timings of energization of said pulse motor and a plurality of information groups each corresponding to respective one of the variety of timings.
