A dot matrix printer creates an image by using a mechanism called a print head, which contains a cluster (or matrix) of short pins arranged in one or more columns. On receiving instructions from the PC, the printer can push any of the pins out in any combination. By pushing out pins in various combinations, the print head can create alphanumeric characters When pushed out from the duster, the protruding pins’ ends strike a ribbon, which is held in place between the print head and the paper. When the pins strike the ribbon, they press ink from the ribbon onto the paper.

The electromagnet keeps the pins in place until a charge is made to a coil wrapped around the print wire, momentarily eliminating the magnetization and allowing the pin to spring forward. The pins print a pattern, or matrix, of dots on the paper, which creates letters and other characters as the print head moves across the page on a track. Each time the print head scans the page, it prints a slightly lower part of the line, until all the characters are completely formed.

What is the difference between a dot matrix and a ink-jet printer?

Dot matrix has little pins that strike a ribbon (much like a regular typewriter) to print a dot of ink onto a page. An ink-jet printer squirts tiny drops of ink directly onto the paper. One advantage of the ink-jet is that it can print in color. (it's also quieter).
