Answer 2

The two most common types of 'impact printers are dot-matrix' and 'line printers'.

Explanation:

• The impact printer operates by hitting a plastic or metal head opposite to an ink ribbon. Impact printers work by hitting a needle or head opposite to an 'ink ribbon' to cause a mark on the paper.
• The 'Dot-matrix' printer works by hitting the pin grid against the ribbon.
• The 'Line printer' is a printer that uses a steady paper feed, and makes one line of text at a time to print.
