DOT MATRIX :-
A DOT MATRIX PRINTER forms characters on page according to patterns set for each character. The resolution of a 24-Pin printer is not going to fool anyone into thinking you have a laser, especially if you try to print graphics or a fine-serif typeface, but it handles straight text well.
Dot matrix printers don’t get very much publicity anymore as vendors hype the newer technologies, and it’s understandable, because the printer itself and its consumable are the least expensive of any printer. In addition to handling text well, it will outperform other types of printers for some jobs. Near letter quality (NLQ) or Typewriter emulation from a 24-pin printer is satisfactory for normal correspondence and the printing speed in draft mode puts a laser to shame.
If you indend to print continuous forms such as checks or long accounting reports, the dot matrix printer is your best choice.
NLQ (NEAR LETTER QUALITY) :-
A designation of the ability of a printer to emulate the quality of a typewriter.
