Description:
There are two main types of printers: Impact printers and non-impact printers. Impact printers produce text and images on paper when the print head of the printer strikes the paper physically. Non-impact printers like inkjet and laser printers do the same without actually striking the paper. While inkjet printers spray tiny drops of ink onto a paper, laser printers use cylindrical drums that roll electrically charged ink onto the paper. Printers can also be classified on the basis of the print technology they use the most popular ones include inkjet printers, laser printers, dot-matrix printers, and thermal printers. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
