What is a dot matrix printer?

Answer 1

Hi,

Dot Matrix Printer is also called Impact Matrix printer.

Answer 2

To make a dot matrix printer last longer keep the printer in a cool, well-ventilated area, and dont use it to print more than 50 to 75 pages without allowing the head to cool down.

Answer 3

In simple terms - the printer has a vertical line of metal pins - that strike the paper through an ink ribbon, forming the words or images by creating microscopic dots on the paper.

Answer 4

A dot-matrix uses an inked ribbon, similar to the ribbon used on a typewriter.

Answer 5

A very old one. Split a square up from 9 to 24 times and that's the printer head for each digit. Poor quality. Ink jet.
