Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These shapes of each character are formed in the form of tiny dots. The printing quality of a dot matrix printer is inferior to a daisy wheel printer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Line Printers A fast line printer can print as many as 3, 000 lines per minute. The disadvantages of line printers are that they cannot print graphics, the print quality is low, and they are very noisy. They are used with mainframe computers where high speed is vital for the large volume of printed output required.

Detailed explanation-3: -They can only print lower-resolution graphics, with limited color performance, limited quality, and lower speeds compared to non-impact printers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Daisy-wheel printers are loud and slow. They cannot print graphics, and cannot change fonts unless the print wheel is physically replaced. With the advent of laser printers, daisy-wheel printers are generally not used in modern computing environments.

Detailed explanation-5: -Advantage: Dot Matrix Printers prints output as dots, so it can print any shape of the character. This allows the printer to print special character, charts, graphs, etc.
