Abstract

A programmable printer for printing identifying indicia upon a moving document prior to microfilming the document. The printer is adjustably stationarily mounted above a document transport table. Alpha-numeric characters are selectively formed and briefly depressed to print the desired indicia upon successively presented documents while the same are moving. A programmable microcomputer forms the characters from predetermined data and applies each in correspondence with the motion of the document at an interval of time when microfilming is not occurring.
