DEF

A facsimile printing process whereby the facsimile receiver employs a sheet of copy paper covered with a carbon sheet and is mounted on a printing cylinder. As the drum rotates, a single stylus strikes the carbon set with each incoming electrical signal from the transmitter. The force of the stylus causes a carbon mark to appear on the copy paper; by traversing the length of the cylinder, the stylus imprints the entire image of the original.
