Printer that forms characters by selectively coloring or inking dots in a grid or matrix of dots. Characters thus printed often appear to consist of rows of dots.
A type of printer technology using a print head with pins to poke out arrays of dots that form text and graphics.
A type of printer that forms characters with patterns of dots.
An impact printer that uses pins to produce text or graphics.
Printer which forms characters when an array of pins hits an inked ribbon which transfers the image to the media.
a printer that represents each character as a pattern of dots from a dot matrix
an impact printer in which each character is formed by a wire or pin striking a ribbon saturated with ink against the paper, much like a typewriter
a type of impact printer having a print head that is capable of running back and forth on the page and striking an inked ribbon against the paper
A type of impact device which uses a column usually of seven pins to strike the ink ribbon five times for a 5 x 7 dot matrix and for each character symbol. With a typical 5 x 7 matrix character display, the exact dot patterns for all characters are stored in Read Only Memory (ROM) allowing selection of a number of optional character fonts.

a (cheap, noisy and comparatively slow) printing device in which text and graphics are produced by an array of fine pins forcing a printer ribbon against paper. Produces pretty poor output only suitable for draft work. The alternative is a `non-impact printer' such as an inkjet printer (relatively cheap) or laser printer (relatively expensive).
Output device which prints characters by impacting the paper with clusters (matrix) of individual pins (dots).
a printer in which each character is formed from a matrix of dots. They are normally impact systems, ie a wire is fired at a ribbon in order to leave an inked dot on the page, but thermal and electro-erosion systems are also used.
A kind of printer with a vertical column of up to 48 small closely packed needles or "pins" each of which can be individually forced forwards to press an ink ribbon against the paper. The print head is repeatedly scanned across the page and different combinations of needles activated at each point. Source: Foldoc: Free On-line Dictionary of Computing
A type of printer that prints by striking wires or fine rods, within a matrix or array of dots, on an ink-coated ribbon against a piece of paper to form letters and numbers.
A printer that uses a matrix of dots to make up the characters.
an inexpensive, durable printer that uses a pattern of tiny ink dots to produce an image
a computer printout device that forms characters by printing dots within a grid pattern.
(DMP) - A type of printer that employs a movable printhead with pins, or wires, that shoot out and strike a ribbon. Each strike of a single pin creates a dot on the paper. Letters are formed as a pattern, or matrix, of dots. The most common are 9 or 24 pin printers.
output: A printer that uses dots to create the text and image on the page. This term is most commonly used to refer to impact dot matrix printers which use small metal pins striking the ribbon and paper to create text and images.
A type of printer that prints by hammering the ends of pins against an ink ribbon and, is sometimes referred to as an impact printer. This is the only printer that will print on multiple forms, as with carbons. Also referred to as an “Impact Printer”.
