A Basic Printer
Dot Matrix printers are the most common impact printers used with personal computers. Daisy Wheel printers are sometimes used as well.
In my opinion, there are no advantages of a daisy wheel printer. I found them noisy, slow, and having to change the wheel to use a different font was a bind.
Impact printers are dot-matrix printers like the Okidats Microline series. they use a print-head that has anywhere from 9 to 24 small pins that are forced out of the head and onto an ink impregnated ribbon which hits the paper and makes the impression of the character... just like a typewriter. Inkjet printers are not impact printers :P
A impact printer uses a head or a needle on a ink ribbon to make a mark on the paper. Like dot matrix printers and daisy wheel printers.
