Abstract

In most microcomputer systems, the printing workhorse is a dot matrix unit, an inexpensive piece of equipment that rapidly churns out characters formed of clusters of tiny dots. Until just a few years ago, dot matrix printers were considered useful only for “draft” copy, internal documents for which crisp typewriter‐style printing was unnecessary. But inventive printer designers found ways of getting printer dots to cluster more tightly together so these matrix printers could produced results that could be called “letter quality”, even though they still fell a bit short of the quality produced by the familiar office typewriter.
