A printer that operates by pressing a physical representation of a character against an inked ribbon, forming an impression on the page.
A computer printer that uses arrays of needles (dot-matrix printer) to print the image; makes direct contact with the printing ribbon. to top
A printer in which a keystroke actually hits the paper, like a typewriter, to produce hard copy.
A printer that uses pins or hammers which hit a ribbon to transfer images to the paper.
A printer that forms characters on paper by striking the paper with a character-forming element.
a printer that prints by mechanical impacts
A printer that uses the force of an impact through an ink ribbon to create a printed character on a page. This impact is delivered by a rotating ball or wheel or through a grid of pins.
A computer-driven mechanical imprinting device where the characters are formed by the ma printer-head key striking a ribbon to imprint the character's image onto a paper.
a printer which relies on physical pressure, applied by a printhead, between paper and inksource (ribbon) to produce characters (essentially dot-matrix type printers)
The print head drives small pins against an inked ribbon to make an image on the sheets.
An impact printer is a type of printer that forms the characters by the impact of either pins or preformed characters onto the ink ribbon and presses it against the paper (e.g. Dot Matrix).
A printer that forms characters on a page by pressing raised type on the surface of the paper with a 'hammer', usually with an inked ribbon between the actual hammer and the paper; a dot matrix or daisy wheel printer, as opposed to a laser or ink jet printer.
Printer that forms characters and graphics on a piece of paper by striking a mechanism against an ink ribbon that physically contacts the paper; they generally are noisy because of this striking activity and typically do not provide letter quality print. 6.14- 15
A printer that generates output like typewriters, by actually stroking the page with something solid. maxxansaa majii View
