Line Printer A line printer is a type of high-speed impact printer that prints text or graphics by striking a series of characters or dots against a continuous form or paper roll to create a line of text or image. Line printers are distinguished by their ability to print an entire line of characters or pixels simultaneously, making them significantly faster than serial printers that print one character at a time.
Line printers are commonly used in environments that require high-volume printing of documents, reports, invoices, labels, and forms, such as data centers, banks, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. While line printers are less common today due to the widespread adoption of laser and inkjet printers, they are still used in specialized applications where high-speed, high-volume printing is required. |
