Abstract
Apparatus for recording characters on a photographic record medium including spaced feed and takeup reels for carrying a roll of the medium. A support such as a cylinder is disposed between the reels supports the record medium. A carriage is controllably movable opposite the support and in a direction transverse to the direction of record medium movement. A recording head on the carriage has a radiation emitter device for emitting intensity modulated radiation toward the cylindrical support along a scan line which makes an angle with the direction of the transverse movement.

Indicia recording apparatus comprising:
- a supply reel for storing a roll of record medium;
- a takeup reel for accumulating record medium removed from said feed reel;
- a supporting means intermediate said supply and takeup reels, for supporting a portion of the record medium, a carriage means controllably and repeatedly movable opposite said supporting means and in a direction transverse to the travel of the record medium, and a recording head on said carriage means, said recording head comprising radiation emitting means for emitting intensity modulated radiation toward said supporting means along a plurality of equilength scan lines, each of said scan lines being in a different plane intersecting said supporting means whereby during a single traverse of said carriage means a transverse band of the record medium is scanned.
Indicia recording apparatus comprising:
- a source of a record medium;
- an accepting means for accepting record medium removed from said source;
- a supporting means intermediate said source and said accepting means, for supporting a portion of the record medium, a carriage means controllably and repeatedly movable opposite said supporting means and in a direction transverse to the travel of the record medium, and a recording head on said carriage means, said recording head comprising radiation emitting means for emitting intensity modulated radiation toward said supporting means along a plurality of equilength scan lines, each of said scan lines being in a different plane intersecting said supporting means whereby during a single traverse of said carriage means a transverse band of the record medium is scanned.
