A Daisy Wheel Printer is an old fashioned impact printer, based on electric typewriter technology. All of the characters (letters, numbers, and punctuation marks) were on spokes radiating from a central axle and somewhat resembled a daisy, hence the name. The printing was relatively slow, but the impressions were incredibly clear as long as there was a fresh printer ribbon.
