On the screen of the output device, the letters have a definition of 650 lines per inch for ordinary work and 1,300 lines per inch for quality work.
The cathode-ray screen of an output device reconstitutes, in accordance with these signals and by a fine scanning device synchronized with the reading device, a luminous image of the letter, which makes an impression, through an optical reducing device, on a photosensitive surface.
A more complex model of the Linotron scans, on the screen of the output device, the surface of a whole page, composing as it goes all examples of the same letter in all the places where it occurs on the page.
Vertical scanning on the screen of the photographic output device reproduces these lines one after another according to these parameters.
The device is basically a second screen output for a smartphone, connecting via Bluetooth, that's worn as a heads-up display.
A computer, depending on the text to be composed, directs the position of the reading device's scanner towards that part of the matrix plate that bears the matrix of the letter selected, and simultaneously directs the position of the output device's scanner toward that part of the screen that corresponds to the position of this letter in the line being composed.
Seeing Fishkin's categorization of traditional keyboards as distant (along the embodiment axis) and none (along the metaphor axis), I though that typing on a touch screen might change the embodiment level to full (the input device is the output device) or maybe near (if we consider the display part of the touchscreen to be different from where the keyboard appears).
In fact, at times it seems quite un-speakerish, with references to a visual output device which makes it sound more like a tablet or screen-with-speaker like the Amazon Echo Show.
The output device is dev (see sndlib.h).
Amount of screen output created by the tool.
Last Update: 6 Dec 2018 - reviewed for CIAO 4.11: screen output revised.
