Dot Matrix Printer

It is an impact type character printer. It prints character by the combination of dots where each dot is printed when the hammer strikes the printing material. It can print both image and text of different font and size. It is appropriate for low volume printing. It is usually available in three operating modes: fast, medium and slow. Faster speed will have low printing quality.

Demerits:

  • It is noisy, slower.
