is a fairly basic, but flexible printer It can produce text or graphics in the form of a matrix of small dots, with each character formed by a series of pins striking a ribbon They are generally used for jobs where the quality of the printing is not crucial
A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by a pattern (matrix) of individual dots

A system of printing where individual dots are printed in matrix (5x7, 7x9, etc ), forming bars, alphanumeric characters and simple graphics See AIM document T-11, "Matrix Impact Printing," for specifications
Usually applied to printer and screen output devices which make up character/images from a matrix of dots Quality depends on dot density and size (See also resolution) Historically a type of printer that used inky ribbons and mechanical contact
A type of printer that uses a head of pins that impact paper through a ribbon of ink to build up text (usually uses continuous or fan-fold paper) Double Click To rapidly press and release mouse button (usually the left) twice without moving the mouse Usually carried out an action, such as starting an application
