The belt can be driven both forwardly and in reverse to cycle the printing medium under a printing head which prints tracks of information onto the medium. After each cycle, the printing head is advanced in a direction transverse to the motion of the printing medium until complete coverage of the printing medium is achieved. Either an interlace or band printing scheme can be used. | |
