How it works

The 4631 operates by scanning the display of a storage-tube terminal line-by-line, converting the image into signals that drive a printing mechanism. In the related 4610 printer, these signals reproduce the display on thermal paper using a one-line-tall cathode-ray tube. The 4631's higher speed and sheet feeder enhance the throughput of this process.^[1]
