usually to standard-size, 8.5" by 11" sheets of paper. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication and cost. In
general, more expensive printers are used for more frequent printing or high-resolution color printing.

• Impact Printers
• Non-Impact Printers

1. Dot-Matrix Printers:
• The Dot-Matrix printers uses 9 to 24 pin print heads depending upon the quality print required. 24 pin printers produce
more clarity that 9 pins dot-matrix printer. More number of pins results in more clarity.
2. Line Printers:
• Line Printers (also called line-at-a-time printers) ,as the name suggests it can print whole line at once.
NON-IMPACT PRINTERS
Non-Impact Printers do not need to touch the ink ribbon to print the documents. Maintenance of Non-Impact printers is easier than Impact
printers.

• The inkjet printers are the most common and widely used printers in both professional and domestic settings. It is popular due to its
numerous advantages and very few drawbacks.
2. Laser Printers:
• Laser Printers were developed by Xerox in 1960s. The majority of laser printers use light, photoreceptor belts, and photosensitive drums.
