 INTRODUCTION:- Printer
• Definition: A device that produces a physical
copy of digital documents or images.

• Common Uses: Widely used in homes, offices,

and industries for tasks like document printing,
photo printing, and label creation

• Types : It is further divided into two types on

the basis of it’s works and performance. IT’s
types are impact printer and non-impact
printer
INTRODUCTION:- IMPACT PRINTER
• A printer that prints a character or
image on paper by striking an inked
ribbon against the paper, similar to a
type writer
• Lower resolution compared to
modern printer
• Generally faster than inkjet and laser
printers (modern printer) when it
deals with bulk printing, particularly
in multi-part forms.
 DOT MATRIX PRINTER
• Definition: An impact printer that
Utilizes a grid of pins that strike an inked
ribbon to form characters and images,
producing a series of dots

• Mechanism:-Utilizes a grid of pins

that strike an inked ribbon to form
characters and images, producing a series
of dots.

• Primarily designed for monochrome

printing, with limited color capabilities.
ADVANTAGE AND DIS-ADVANTAGE

Advantages
• Cost-Effective:Low operating costs, ideal for high-
volume printing.
• Simplicity:Easy to maintain and repair due to
straightforward technology.

Dis-Advantage
• Print Quality: Lower resolution and clarity compared to
modern printers
• Noise Level :Operates relatively loudly, which may be
disruptive.
 DAISY WHEEL PRINTER
•Definition: An impact printer developed in the
1970s and 1980s, designed for high-quality text
printing.
•often used for printing high-quality,
typewriter-style text
•Mechanism:-It uses a wheel
resembling a daisy, with each "petal"
containing a different character. During
operation, the wheel rotates to position the
desired character, which is struck against
an ink ribbon to print on the paper.
•These printers were favored for their ability to
produce sharp, clear text, but they were later
replaced by faster technologies.
ADVANTAGE AND DIS-ADVANTAGE
• Advantages

• Produces high-quality, clear text similar to a typewriter.

• Affordable to buy and maintain.

• Can make carbon copies while printing (due to impact printing).

• The print wheel can be easily changed to use different characters.

• Disadvantages

• Slow printing speed compared to modern printers.

• Noisy operation during printing.

• Cannot print graphics; only suitable for text.

• Uses a limited set of characters

 DRUM ROLL PRINTER
•Definition: A drumroll printer is a type of impact printer
that uses a rotating drum to transfer ink onto paper.

Applications:

•Common in environments requiring multi-part forms (like

invoices).
•Used for printing tickets, labels, and reports.

Limitations:

•Noise during operation can be disruptive.

•Limited color capabilities; primarily prints in black and
white.
 ADVANTAGE AND DIS-ADVANTAGE
• Advantages

• Durability: Built to withstand harsh environments; reliable for

long-term use.
• Continuous Feed: Capable of printing on continuous paper rolls,
beneficial for high-volume tasks.

• Disadvantages

• Print Quality: Inferior quality compared to inkjet and laser

printers; limited detail in graphics.
• Limited Color Options: Mostly prints in black and white; not
suitable for vibrant color printing.

OF IMPACT PRINTER
ADVANTAGES DIS-ADVANTAGES
• Cost-Effective: Lower cost per page for high-volume • Print Quality: Generally produces lower-quality output,

documents.

CONCLUSION:
Summary: Impact printers still hold relevance in certain applications despite the rise of modern printing technologies. For
Future Considerations impact printers might still be used effectively.
