Abstract
A system for printing a plurality of sequentially stored text columns in a side-by-side format with the line spacing of one column varying from that of another. Each column is to be printed out in an operator defined location. After a line from one of the columns is printed on a print line in a defined location, the carrier is caused to escape. Any corresponding lines from succeeding columns, as determined by their line spacing requirements, are printed on the same line prior to causing a printer carrier return. That is, the line spacing requirement of a column is utilized to determine whether a line from the column is to be printed on the print line being printed.
