what is printer? Discuss different types of printers.
A printer is an output device that prints characters, symbols and graphics, on paper.
The printed output is called hard copy. Print resolution is commonly measured in dots per inch (dpi). The printers with higher dpi produce higher quality output.
Types of printers
Different types of printers are as follows:
1. Impact printers
An impact printer prints characters and graphics on paper without striking a print hammer or set of pins against an inked ribbon. Impact printers are the oldest print technologies which are still produced. The impact printers are used where low-cost printing is required. Three most common forms of impact printers are as follows:
Dot matrix printers
Daisy wheel printer
Line printer
2. Non-impact printers
A non-impact printer prints characters and graphics on paper without striking paper. Some printers use sprays ink while others use heat and pressure to create images. These printers are faster than impact printer. However, they are more costly than impact printers. They produce no noise during printing. The print quality of non-impact printers is better than impact printers.
Different kinds of non-impact printers are as follows:
Laser printer, Inkjet printer, Thermal printer
