Best Answer

Earlier dot-matrix printers used a transport mechanism called tractor feed to move perforated sheets of a folded stack of pages through the printer. Removable strips lined both sides of the paper; the strips were punched with spaced holes. Wheels or belts with teeth that mated with the spaced holes moved the paper through the printer. While these printers were rarely found in homes after inkjet printers became popular, they can still can be found in commercial or government sites.

Difference between laser printer and dot matrix printer?

The difference is the technology used in the printing. The dot matrix printer uses a matrix of needles that press through an inked ribbon to leave marks on the paper. The laser printer uses a roller system to leave charged area on the paper which attracts toner (fine particles of pigment) to stick to the paper. The dot matrix printer is largely obsolete nowadays; it has been replaced by laser/ink jet and thermal systems which are much quieter - making them more suitable for office and home use.
