History of printer
The world's first computer printer was a 19th-century
mechanically driven apparatus invented by Charles
Babbage for his difference engine. This system used a
series of metal rods with characters printed on them
and stuck a roll of paper against the rods to print the
characters. The first commercial printers generally used
mechanisms from electric typewriters and Teletype
machines, which operated in a similar fashion.
IMPACT PRINTER
Dot-Matrix Printers
The dot-matrix printer uses print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins. These pins produce
patterns of dots on the paper to form the individual characters. The 24 pin dot-matrix
printer produces more dots that a 9 pin dot-matrix printer, which results in much better
quality and clearer characters. The general rule is: the more pins, the clearer the letters on
the paper. The pins strike the ribbon individually as the print mechanism moves across the
entire print line in both directions, i-e, from left to right, then right to left, and so on. The
user can produce a color output with a dot-matrix printer (the user will change the black
ribbon with a ribbon that has color stripes). Dot-matrix printers are inexpensive and
typically print at speeds of 100-600 characters per second.
Daisy-wheel printers
In order to get the quality of type found on typewriters, a daisy-wheel impact
printer can be used. It is called daisy-wheel printer because the print
mechanism looks like a daisy; at the end of each Petal is a fully formed
character which produces solid-line print. A hammer strikes a petal
containing a character against the ribbon, and the character prints on the
paper. Its speed is slow typically 25-55 characters per second.
