Description
Kanji (Chinese characters) came into use in the information processing field after 1975. In the area of data communication, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (now NTT) planned for the adoption of kanji processing in collaborative systems such as DRESS, DEMOS, the Joint-Use Hospital Information System, and other national projects. There was a need for a practical kanji printer with a high printing speed of 15,000 lines/min for use in computer centers.
