Which of these is a common characteristic of an impact printer?
A) Cannot print to carbon copies
B) Low per-page printing cost
C) High-resolution output
D) Very quiet operation
E) It requires a room painted bright orange
The answer: B) Low per-page printing cost
Impact printers and dot-matrix printers can easily print to multiple-copy paper, but the output is not very high resolution and the printer itself is relatively loud when compared to other printer types. However, the cost per-page to print on a dot-matrix printer is relatively low.
