Explanation:
A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head
that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon
against the paper, much like a typewriter. Unlike a typewriter or daisy wheel printer, letters are
drawn out of a dot matrix, and thus, varied fonts and arbitrary graphics can be produced. Because
the printing involves mechanical pressure, these printers can create carbon copies and carbonless
copies.
