What is a Printer?
A printer is an output device that generates text and graphics on a physical medium like paper.
Prints are also referred to as hard copy as the data are physically accessible and are a more permanent output type than the one displayed in the VDU (Visual Display Unit).
Printers may be divided into impact printers and non-impact printers.
An impact printer forms characters and images on a piece of paper by hitting an ink ribbon mechanism that contacts the paper physically.
A non-impact printer forms characters and graphics on a piece of paper without hitting the paper.
Different types of Printers
Printers can be grouped into two categories. They are as follows: –
Impact Printers
Non-Impact printers
A printer’s speed is normally shown in pages per minute (ppm). The printer’s resolution is expressed as dpi (dots per inch). The greater the number, the greater is the resolution.
