Detailed explanation-1: -Dot matrix printers typically use a print head that moves back and forth or in an up-and-down motion on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like the print mechanism on a typewriter or line printer.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Inkjet printer. The inkjet printer prints pictures or figures by spraying ink onto paper. We generally print using impact printers by using hammers, pins, or wheels to hit against an inked ribbon to print pictures or figures.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most common kind of impact printers is a dot-matrix printer. It’s called an impact printer because we are literally taking a tiny pin inside of the print head, pushing it through a ribbon, and hitting a piece of paper to put a mark on that paper.

Detailed explanation-4: -A dot matrix printer is an impact printer that prints using a fixed number of pins or wires. Typically the pins or wires are arranged in one or several vertical columns. The pins strike an ink-coated ribbon and force contact between the ribbon and the paper, so that each pin makes a small dot on the paper.
