Abstract :
A piezo head with 24 wires for Japanese Kanji printing or letter quality character printing is described. The printing speed of this piezoelectric head is 140 characters per second and the printing frequency is approximately 3.8 kHz. The head is 65 mm in length, 52 mm in diameter, and approximately 300 g in weight. The copying capacity is original plus two copies. The diameter of the printing wire is 0.2 mm. The head consists of 24 actuators with wires
