Detailed explanation-1: -Noisy – Dot matrix printers are noisier than other types of printers, they can be disruptive to quiet environments. Prone to jamming – Because dot matrix printers use a ribbon to transfer ink to the paper, they are more prone to jamming if the ribbon is not loaded or maintained properly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dot matrix printers create noise when the pins or typeface strike the ribbon to the paper, and sound-damping enclosures may have to be used in quiet environments. They can only print lower-resolution graphics, with limited color performance, limited quality, and lower speeds compared to non-impact printers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Line matrix printers construct a line of text with the help of lines of dots and are also known as eco-friendly because they generate less landfill waste from packaging, hardware, or consumables.
Detailed explanation-4: -It takes its name from how it operates; by striking pins into an inked ribbon, similar to how a typewriter operates. These dots are close together and collectively make up the shape of each individual letter, number or character. The striking of the pins caused the noise, which was surprisingly loud.
