| | Computer printer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A computer printer is a computer peripheral device that produces a hard copy (permanent human-readable text and/or graphics, usually on paper) from data stored in a computer connected to it. | | | Similar to forensic identification of typewriters, computer printers and copiers can be traced down by imperfections in their output. | | | These printers were the fastest of all impact printers and were used for bulk printing in large computer centres. |

| | Line printers include the band, chain, and drum printers that are commonly associated with large computer installations or networks. | | | Pin dot-matrix printers can be further classified by the number of pins in the print head: 9, 18, 24, and so on. | | | These categories refer to the means by which output is sent to the printer rather than to any mechanical distinctions. |

| | Daisy is a carefully written program that enhances Scripsit in many practical ways. | | | There is a demand for documents with true proportional spacing and right justification, and it is frustrating to have hardware capable of supplying that demand but software that is incapable of doing so. | | | I will never understand why so many practical and necessary functions were left out of such a basically good word processing program. |

| | The final type of printer to be mentioned here is the multifunction or all-in-one printer. Many home office users prefer the space-saving convenience of an all-in-one device which combines the functions of printer, scanner, copier and fax into one machine. All-in-one printers can be either inkjet or laser based. | | | Make sure your computer is turned off. Attach the printer cable to both the printer and the computer and lock or screw in place. | | | When your computer starts up, Windows should detect the new device you have connected and ask if you want to locate the drivers for it. A driver is a program that allows your computer to communicate properly with your printer and was probably included on a disk included with your printer. |

| | Letter-quality printer |
| | A letter-quality printer was a form of computer impact printer that was able to print with the quality typically expected from a business typewriter such as an IBM Selectric. | | | Most letter quality printers were available either as complete computer terminals with keyboards or as print-only devices. | | | Over time, several different technologies were used including automating ordinary typebar typewriter mechanisms (such as the Friden Flexowriter), automating IBM Selectric mechanisms (such as the IBM 2741 terminal), and, finally, the daisy wheel printer. |

| | Early printers were often little more than electric typewriters connected to a computer. | | | On the downside, daisy wheel printers were slow, couldn't print graphics, and were often incredibly loud, sounding like a long string of firecrackers as they rat-a-tatted through documents. | | | Daisy wheel printers had the advantage of being able to produce letter-quality text (unlike dot matrix printers, which created fuzzy, low-quality characters). |

| | Daisy wheel printer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A daisy wheel printer is a type of computer printer that produces high-quality type, and is often referred to as a letter-quality printer (this in contrast to high-quality dot-matrix printers, capable of near-letter-quality, or NLQ, output). | | | In many respects the daisy wheel is similar to a standard typewriter in the way it forms its letters on the page, differing only in the details of the mechanism (daisy wheel vs typebars or the typeball used on IBM Selectric typewriters). | | | Daisy wheel printers were fairly common in the 1980s, but were always less popular than dot matrix printers (ballistic wire printers) due to the latter's ability to print graphics and different fonts. |
