Compact, low-capacitance output circuit for charge coupled device (CCD). The circuit includes a semiconductor electrode which is doped at opposite edges thereof to form the source and drain regions, respectively, of a thin film transistor. The conduction channel of the transistor is the region of the semiconductor electrode between the source and drain regions. The gate electrode of the transistor is the region of the substrate adjacent to the conduction channel and the input signals comprise the packets of charge shifted to this substrate region by the multiple phase voltages which operate the CCD.

A predetermined window height at least three times the height of the normal printed characters can be printed in a single horizontal sweep of the printhead across the page. A page of character oriented data is first sorted vertically; the data is then sequentially processed into a "print window" of horizontally sorted characters until a character is reached that will not fit within the current print window. The symbolic data in the print window is converted into bit mapped image data only slightly in advance of the current printhead position. The average throughout is increased by permitting the velocity of the printhead to vary as a function of the complexity of the image formation process. For a thermal process, this is accompanied by an appropriate adjustment in the current passing through the activated printhead electrodes. The vertical positioning of the pixels within the print window is varied to better distribute head wear.
