A hard copy GIGO is relate to Line printer,Dot matrix Printer and Typewriter terminal characteristics of computers.

The characteristics of computers that have made them so powerful and universally useful are speed, accuracy, diligence, versatility and storage capacity. Let us discuss them briefly. Computers work at an incredible speed. A powerful computer is capable of performing about 3-4 million simple instructions per second.

Alternatively referred to as a band printer, chain printer, drum printer, and barrel printer, a line printer is a high-speed printer capable of printing an entire line of text at once. ... For example, a line printer may be capable of printing over 3,000 lines of type per minute.

Dot matrix (impact) printing is a type of computer printing which uses a print head that moves back-and-forth, or in an up-and-down motion, on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like the print mechanism on a typewriter.

Typewriter. ... Today, typewriters are rarely used or found and have been widely replaced by the computer with its computer keyboard and word processors. However, the QWERTY keyboard layout is still used on almost every US keyboard. In the picture below is an example of a typewriter.
