Printers
Printer is an output device, which is used to print information on paper.
There are two types of printers-
The impact printers print the characters by striking them on the ribbon which is then pressed on the paper.
Characteristics of Impact Printers are the following
Character printers are the printers which print one character at a time.
Non- impact Printers
Non-impact printers print the characters without using ribbon. These printers print a complete page at a time so they are also called as Page Printers.
These printers are of two types
Inkjet printers are non-impact character printers based on a relatively new technology. They print characters by spraying small drops of ink onto paper. Inkjet printers produce high quality output with presentable features.They make less noise because no hammering is done and these have many styles of printing modes available. Colour printing is also possible. Some models of Inkjet printers can produce multiple copies of printing also
Laser Printers
These are non-impact page printers. They use laser lights to produce the dots needed to form the characters to be printed on a page.
Printer is an output device, which is used to print information on paper.
There are two types of printers-
- Impact Printers
- Non-Impact Printers
The impact printers print the characters by striking them on the ribbon which is then pressed on the paper.
Characteristics of Impact Printers are the following
- Very low consumable costs
- Very noisy
- Useful for bulk printing due to low cost
- There is physical contact with the paper to produce an image
- These printers are of two types
- Character printers
Character printers are the printers which print one character at a time.
- Dot Matrix Printer(DMP)
Non- impact Printers
Non-impact printers print the characters without using ribbon. These printers print a complete page at a time so they are also called as Page Printers.
These printers are of two types
- Laser Printers
- Inkjet Printers
- Faster than impact printers.
- They are not noisy.
- High quality.
- Support many fonts and different character size.
