What are the advantages and disadvantages of Chain Printer?

Answer 1

Advantages are really fast speed combined with good image quality. The IBM 1403 chain printer was so fast that its *output stacking bin* had to be 'motor-driven.'

An "advantage" (although not in the printing OR data-center-optimization sense!) was the remarkable character of the noise these things make - once heard, never to be forgotten. As has been pointed out elsewhere on the Web, you could program the system so the printer would play music...

Disadvantages: Large, heavy, noisy, requires considerable care with lubrication and maintenance, and needs fairly competent electrical power. There are few things a chain printer can do that a high-speed laser printer can't do "better" (note that it would be a very rare situation for a typical chain printer to be used on multipart originals, or in fact on anything requiring physical impact to register)

Answer 2

Advantage are :-

1. Low cost then non-impact printer,

2.chain can be easily changed,

3.It can print different type of font,

4. It can make carbon copy of printout

Disadvantage are :-

1.Slow than non-impact printer,

2.It is very noisy,

3. It can't print grphics

3. It can't print grphics

4.It can only print predefined set of characters.

Answer 3

Chain printers, also known as line printers, offer high-speed printing capabilities, making them suitable for large-volume printing tasks. They are also durable and reliable, requiring minimal maintenance. However, chain printers are noisy and have limited printing quality compared to modern printers such as laser or inkjet printers. Additionally, they are typically larger and more expensive than other types of printers, making them less suitable for small office or home use.

Answer 4

they are really fast speed combine with good image.
