Dot-matrix printers are the oldest type of printer, as well as the simplest. This type of printer uses an array of pins to strike an inked ribbon, which in turn makes a pattern of dots on the paper. The patterns of dots ultimately form letters and images. Dot-matrix printers are easy to use as well as very inexpensive. However, they are relatively slow and very noisy (as anyone who has tried to talk on the phone while using one can attest). The best dot-matrix printers are only near letter quality (letter quality is the quality found with a typewriter). They are still in use because they are the only printer that can print on carbon copy forms (invoices, receipts, etc.). Because the pins on dot-matrix printers actually strike the paper, they can make simultaneous copies when used with pressure-sensitive forms or carbon paper. 

Ink-jet printers spray the ink on the page instead of using an inked ribbon. The major advantages of ink-jet printers are their low cost, increased image quality, and ability to use colored ink and a variety of paper styles and sizes. However, they aren t very fast (though admittedly they are faster than dot-matrix), and the ink needs to be replaced as it runs out, which is often. Additionally, if the printer is not used for a long time, the ink can dry out, making the printer unusable until the ink is replaced. For these reasons, they are widely used with home computers and are not often found in offices. 

I here are several categories of printers, but the most basic type is the category of printers known as impact printers. Impact printers, as their name suggests, use some form of impact and an inked ribbon to make an imprint on the paper. In... 

Although not really covered on the A+ exam, the first type of impact printer we re going to discuss is the daisy-wheel printer. These printers contain a wheel (called the daisy wheel because it looks like a daisy) with raised letters and symbols on each petal (see Figure 7.1). When the printer needs to print a character, it sends a signal to the mechanism that contains the wheel. This mechanism is called the printhead. The printhead rotates the daisy wheel until the required character is in place. An electromechanical hammer (called a solenoid) then strikes the back of the petal containing the character. The character pushes up against an inked ribbon that ultimately strikes the paper, making the impression of the requested character. 

The record may be obi.aincd by pen and ink, stylus and inked ribbon, inked thread, carbon paper, or coated paper by puncturing the paper by means of an electric spark or by stamping upon the record sheet some imprint from a si-cncil. The various methods have been developed with a view to making more distinct the records of multiple point recorders. 

This paper is a preliminary communication of some more recent investigations of the specificity of the interactions between the two series of helix forming polysaccharides and four series of (31,4-1 inked ribbon-forming polysaccharides. 

The thermal transfer method can be conducted by an inexpensive apparatus, but requires the use of ink ribbons, which causes an increase in running costs and the generation of waste. 

One of the first computer printers available, and one still widely used for printing forms and checks, is the dot matrix printer. Like a typewriter, a dot matrix printer uses an impact method to create letters by striking paper through an inked ribbon. The letter is formed by a series of dots moimted on a printing... 

Word proeessing is important to all areas of human endeavor. As early as 1936, the autotypist appeared which used punched tapes for storage. This was followed in 1964 by the electric typewriter produced by IBM whieh used magnetie tape and is considered to be the first word proeessor. Word proeessing is now an important feature of all modem PCs. This has made the eonventional typewriter that uses an inked ribbon obsolete, just as the slide rale has been replaced by seientific electronic calculators.

Due to its high gloss, hardness and resistance to harsh environment, it is used in - polishes for floors, shoes, furniture and cars. Smaller applications are in candles, lipsticks and in leather manufacturing. It is also used for coatings of citrus fruits (->food additives), to polish candies and for sugar-coated tablets and sustained-release pharmaceutical formulations in combination with ->stearyl alcohol. Its ability to retain oils and solvents makes it highly useful in the manufacture of ink ribbons and carbon paper.
