Correct Answer - Option 4 : Dot-matrix

The correct answer is Dot Matrix.

  • Impact printer
    • Impact printer refers to a class of printers that work by banging a head or needle against an ink ribbon to make a mark on the paper.
    • The three most common forms of impact printers are:
      • Dot-matrix.
      • Daisy-wheel.
      • Line printers.

  • Dot-matrix Printers 
    • The technology behind dot-matrix printing is in such a way that the paper is pressed against a drum (a rubber-coated cylinder).
    • The electromagnetically-driven printhead moves across the paper and strikes the printer ribbon situated between the paper and printhead pin.
    • The impact of the printhead against the printer ribbon imprints ink dots on the paper which create human-readable characters.

  • Laser Printer
    • ​A laser printer is a printer that uses a focused beam of light to transfer text and images onto paper. 
  • Inkjet printer
    • ​Inkjet printers, as the name implies, use ink to print text, graphics, and images onto various types of paper. 
    • Inkjet printers, cartridges, and supplies are more widely available therefore cheaper than their thermal printer.
  • Deskjet is a brand name for inkjet printers manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.
