Solution

The correct option is A Line printers

Large computer system typically uses Line printers.

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.

A line printer is an impact printer which makes use of a continuous feed of paper and prints one line of text at a time. Although they have been replaced in most instances by high-speed laser printers, they are still used in some business as they are low cost and have the ability to print on multi-part forms.
