Detailed explanation-1: -One of the most common consumer impact printers is the dot-matrix printer. The dot-matrix printer has a series of pins on the print head that are pushing through a ribbon and impacting the page to make these letters and characters.

Detailed explanation-2: -Used to print multipart forms and address labels, the tractor and sprocket mechanism in these devices handles thicker media better than laser and inkjet printers. Also known as a “serial dot matrix printer."

Detailed explanation-3: -The dot-matrix printer uses print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins. These pins produce patterns of dots on the paper to form the individual characters. The 24 pin dot-matrix printer produces more dots that a 9 pin dot-matrix printer, which results in much better quality and clearer characters.
