a rectangular matrix of dots from which written characters can be formed
an array of dots used to generate characters, symbols and images
A method for nucleotide sequence alignment.
A popular early impact printer that used a grid of tiny pins to transfer ink from a ribbon to the page. Although, dot matrix printers can produce basic graphics, they are inferior compared to an inkjet printer's quality.
A system of impact printing where individual dots are printed by tiny wires striking the supply through an inked ribbon.
This is a type of printer which uses a series of pins to create an image on paper. Dot matrix printers are the most economical way to print information.
A printing machine (Dot matrix printer) that is controlled by a computer or other such equipment, that produces an image by firing a series of pins or hammers (9 or 24 pin), against a ribbon and then onto paper usually backed by a hard rubber roller or similar hard surface.
A screen output device which make up character/images from a matrix of dots. The starting point for creating a raster is a dot matrix, which in newer RIP implementations consists of 128 x 128 elements. In this matrix, the dot shape is stored as a 12-bit gray tone.
A popular early impact printer that used a grid of tiny pins to transfer ink from a ribbon to the page. Dot matrix printers can produce basic graphics, but have inferior print quality compared to inkjet or laser printers.
Dot Matrix printing was common in the 1970's and 1980's before the widespread use of inkjet and laser printers. A dot matrix is simply an array of dots that make up an image or document. Dot matrix printers were loud and the resolution was extremely poor, but for many years they were the only printers available on the market.

A printer type using a number of pins, 9 or 24, striking a ribbon to form characters. DVD - Digital Video Disk, holds a minimum of 4.7 gigabytes of data which is about 5,000 floppy disks. Electronic Mail - Messages or mail that are sent and received electronically, i.e. no hardcopy exists.
A group of dots/pixels forming a character or symbol, usually five dots across and seven dots down.
Usually applied to printer and screen output devices which make up character/images from a matrix of dots. Quality depends on dot density and size. (See also resolution). Historically a type of printer that used inky ribbons and mechanical contact.
A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by a pattern (matrix) of individual dots.
a printer in which each character is produced by a subset of an array of needles at the print head
Dot Matrix is a group of dots/pixels forming a character or symbol. The most common dot matrix is a 5 x 7 matrix (5 dots across; 7 dots down).
