	Daisy wheel printer -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In many respects the daisy wheel is similar to a standard (Hand-operated character printer for printing written messages one character at a time) typewriter in the way it forms its letters on the page, differing only in the details of the mechanism (daisy wheel vs typebar or IBM 'typeball').
		Daisy wheel printers were fairly common in the 1980s, but were always less popular than (Click link for more info and facts about ballistic wire printer) ballistic wire printers due to the latter's ability to print graphics and different fonts.
		With the introduction of high quality (Electrostatic printer that focuses a laser beam to form images that are transferred to paper electrostatically) laser printers and (Click link for more info and facts about ink jet printer) ink jet printers in the later 1980s daisy wheel systems quickly disappeared but for the small remaining typewriter market.

		The daisy wheel itself was simply a metal or plastic disk sliced into thin strips toward the center.
		Daisy wheel printers had the advantage of being able to produce letter-quality text (unlike dot matrix printers, which created fuzzy, low-quality characters).
		On the downside, daisy wheel printers were slow, couldn't print graphics, and were often incredibly loud, sounding like a long string of firecrackers as they rat-a-tatted through documents.

		Printer, a computerperipheral that puts text or a computer-generated image on paper or on another medium, such as a transparency.
		Impact printers physically strike the paper and are exemplified by pin dot-matrix printers and daisy-wheel printers; nonimpact printers include every other type of print mechanism, including laser, ink-jet, and thermal printers.
		Laser printers, while technically dot-matrix, are generally considered to produce fully formed characters because their output is very clear and the dots are extremely small and closely spaced.

	Daisy.
		Daisy retains all of the text editing features of Scripsit; none of the original commands are changed.
		Daisy offers an impressive array of over 100 special symbols, both "intrinsic' (actually located on the daisy wheel), and "extrinsic' (contrived), for mathematical, scientific, and foreign language applications.
		Daisy has six basic control characters; two of them are devoted primarily to producing special symbols when combined with keyboard characters.

		The Selectric-based and daisy wheel printers offered the additional advantage that the typeface was readily changeable by the user to accommodate varying needs.
		Most letter quality printers were available either as complete computer terminals with keyboards or as print-only devices.
		Nowadays, printers using non-impact printing (for example laser printers, inkjet printers, and other similar means) have replaced traditional letter-quality printers in most applications.

	Glossary
		Printers, serial ports, and disk drives are often referred to as devices; such subsystems frequently require their own controlling software, called device drivers.
		The quality of output from a dot-matrix printer depends largely on the number of dots in the matrix, which might be low enough to show individual dots or might be high enough to approach the look of fully formed characters.
		In laser printers, a rotating drum is coated with a photoelectric material that retains a charge when struck by a laser beam.

		Printers are noisier, slower, cost more, consume more electricity, need repairs more often, and require you to buy paper and ink.
		To print the letter C, the printer spins the daisy wheel until the C petal is in front of the inked ribbon.
		In fancier 24-pin printers (such as the Panasonic 2130 and 2135), the 24 pins are arranged as a diamond instead of two columns, so that the sound of firing pins is staggered: when you print a vertical line you hear a quiet hum instead of two bangs.

		Printers have come a long way from the noisy daisy-wheel and dot-matrix printers of the 1980s. Today you can print any document with crisp, realistic colors and sharp text in essentially any font you can imagine.
		Remove all the packaging material that might still be on the printer. There might be restraints within the printer itself--used to keep non-stationary parts from moving around during shipping--that you will need to remove. Your manual should be able to guide you in their removal.
		If your printer has a removable tray, install it at this point. Then add paper to the tray or built-in hopper. Be careful not to overfill the tray or it will jam. Turn on the printer, your monitor, and your PC.

		DAISY WHEEL PRINTER - A printer that uses a wheel with all the characters on it to produce output.
		These printers generally aren't used much anymore due to the decreased cost of other printers that can produce graphics as well as text.
		The one good thing about a daisy-wheel printer is that the text is generally very crisp, but even that advantage is nullified now with laser printers that can produce very crisp characters as well.

		Refers to a class of printers that work by banging a head or needle against an ink ribbon to make a mark on the paper.
		In contrast, laser and ink-jet printers are nonimpact printers.
		The distinction is important because impact printers tend to be considerably noisier than nonimpact printers but are useful for multipart forms such as invoices.

		To print a character, the printer rotates a disk, on which characters stand out along the outer edge, until the desired letter faces the paper.
		Then a hammer strikes the disk,forcing the character to hit an ink ribbon, leaving an impression of the letter on the paper.
