Fully formed character printers strike the page once for each letter, creating a whole character at a time. Line printers are generally limited to dot-matrix and daisywheel printers. A page printer must print an entire page and eject it from the printer before you can read the text.
Impact printers do exactly that.
They impact the page when creating a character. Non-impacts, inkjets, and lasers never actually touch the page. Know the popular feed mechanisms including tractor feed and automatic sheet feed. Review the chart on consumables. Remember which printers relate to which consumables.
