Answer 2

Impact Printers

Impact printers operate by having an element strike the paper. In a dot-matrix impact printer, which is the most common type still sold as of October of 2012, the printer's print head has a vertical column of pins which fire in order to generate characters.

Non-Impact Printers

The printheads of non-impact printers do not strike the page. In an inkjet printer, a printhead sits a small distance above the page and either sprays ink or pops a bubble of ink onto the paper. Laser and light-emitting diode printers use electrical charges to transfer dry toner particles from a light sensitive drum to a piece of paper and then melt the toner onto it.
