The correct answer is Dot Matrix

Key Points 

Print resolution is measured as the number of Dots Per Inch (dpi).

  • ​It can be said that Resolution (in terms of print)  is a measure of the number of dots that a device can put in one square inch of page space.
  • The higher the dot density, the higher the resolution of the print or scan.
  • A printer with 600 DPI is a printer that prints 600 x 600 per square inch or 360,000 dots per inch.
  • Increasing the DPI will make the size of the printed image smaller while decreasing the DPI will make the size of the printed image larger.

 

  • Characters-per-second (cps) is a unit of measure used to describe the speed of dot-matrix and daisy-wheel printers.
  • Lines-Per-Minute (LPM) is the number of lines of text a printer is capable of producing in one minute. It is affected by factors such as text size, resolution, and colour.
  • Pages per minute (PPM) is a printer speed measurement standard. It is the measurement standard for how fast a printer can print a standardized page.
