Abstract

A keyboard-operable printer (3) has a keyboard (1) producing a different signal for each of its keys, a printer connected to the keyboard and responsive to each different signal to print an appropriate item, and a data storage and recall facility (4) which is connected to receive signals from the keyboard and to transmit signals to the printer. The data storage and recall facility is programmable and a control (6) is provided for placing the facility in respective states of production, and nonproduction of signals. When in the signal producing state, one or more signals received from the keyboard may serve as instructions to the facility to produce one or more signals which are fed to the printer, such that desired set-pieces of information may be printed without requiring manual insertion into the keyboard. The term "printer" includes a display device, word processor, computer etc.
