Solution
The correct option is A Daisy wheel printer
Daisy wheel printers were called impact printers, since they operated by striking an ink ribbon
against the paper. The printer uses a metal or plastic disk containing
each of the letters, numbers, and other characters it supports. When something is printed, the printer rotates the disk to each
character and then using a hammer strikes each character into an ink ribbon to
create the character on paper.
It represented a
considerable improvement in speed and reduction in mechanical complexity
compared to other typewriters then used as low-speed printers. The speed was
initially 30 characters per second with a repertoire of 96 characters.
