Buffer Memory
This enables you to store Information being transmitted from the PC ready for printing. The most common printer used with word processors and PC's Is the Dot Matrix. Recendy, Ink or bubble jet printers have become more popular.
The Dot Matrix These printers create an Image on the paper using a row of " or In the more expensive models 1.. pins. The pins rapidly strike a ribbon onto the paper. A 2<4-pln printer Is able to create a much smoother outline for letters and graphics since It uses more dots per Inch.

Ink/Bubble Jet Printers
Variable Print Speed
These printers use a non-Impact method of printing. An Ink jet is activated by a pump, or In the case of Bubble Jet printer, by heat creating steam pressure in the Ink tube. This forces the Ink onto the paper creating the Image with near laser quality print. A key benefit Is It prints more quietly.
Variable print speed Is measured In CPS (characters per second). The slower the speed, the greater the print definition.
Common Terminology Draft: Low deMitY. fast printing to check accuracy and Initial layout of document. NLQ: Near letter quality. LQ: Letter quality.
