A dot matrix is known as an "Impact Printer" in which pins (usually 9 pins or 24 pins) are fired against an inked-ribbon (as used in typewriters). This enables the use of multi-paged, continuous, listing paper to be used in an office, and can be left unattended to complete long print jobs. A tractor roller, that has pegs that engage with holes punched both sides of the paper, will draw the paper through the printer. If a rubber roller is used, instead, standard A4 single-sheet paper, or two pages with a carbon sheet between, can be fed into the printer either by hand or from a paper storage tray.
