Question

What is the daisy-wheel printer?

Answer 1

Daisy Wheel Printer : In a Daisy Wheel Printer, Molded metal characters like those in a typewriter are mounted on extensions attached to a rotating wheel and are printed onto the paper by means of a hammer and print ribbon.

• This results in a great deal of movement and noise during the printing of ducments, so printing is usually slow.
• The standard of print is similar to that produced by an electric typewriter. As the characters on the wheel are fixed, the size and font can only be changed by using a different wheel.
