The correct option is E All of the above
A hard copy would be
prepared on a Line printer,Dot matric printer,Type writer terminal and Plotter.
A line printer prints one
entire line of text before advancing to another line. Most early line printers
were impact printers.Line printers are mostly associated with unit record
equipment and the early days of digital computing, but the technology is still
in use. Print speeds of 600 lines-per-minute (approximately 10 pages per
minute) were achieved in the 1950s, later increasing to as much as 1200 lpm.
Line printers print a complete line at a time and have speeds in the range of
150 to 2500 lines per minute.
Impact dot matrix printing
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. However, unlike a
typewriter or daisy wheel printer, letters are drawn out of a dot matrix, and
thus, varied fonts and arbitrary graphics can be produced.
A typewriter is a mechanical
or electromechanical machine for writing characters similar to those produced
by printer's movable type. Typically, a typewriter has an array of keys, and
pressing one causes a different single character to be produced on the paper,
by causing a ribbon with dried ink to be struck against the paper by a type
element similar to the sorts used in movable type letterpress printing.
Commonly a separate type element (called a typebar) corresponds to each key,
but the mechanism may also use a single type element (such as a typeball) with
a different portion of it used for each possible character. At the end of the
nineteenth century, the term typewriter was also applied to a person who used a
typing machine.
The plotter is a computer
printer for printing vector graphics. In the past, plotters were used in
applications such as computer-aided design, though they have generally been
replaced with wide-format conventional printers. A plotter gives a hard copy of
the output. It draws pictures on a paper using a pen.
