An impact printer, is one that has a mechanism that makes the letters physically strike the paper. Two examples would be a daisy-wheel and a golf-ball printer. Non-impact printers use either jets to quirt microscopic dots of ink onto the paper, or tiny electrical impulses to 'burn' the characters onto the paper. Two examples would be an ink-jet printer and a thermal printer.
Plotter is a non-impact printer
daisy wheel is an impact printer.
An impact printer (dot matrix) usually uses either a serial, or parallel port. It depends on the printer and computer ports available. Most modern inkjet or laser printers use either wifi or a USB connection.
An impact printer (dot matrix) is ready for use once switched on. A thermal printer (non-impact) may need a short warm up period.

what are the advantages of line printer
Laser/LED printer and Inkjet printers for a couple.
Use a laser printer or inkjet printer. Make sure to spray your decal with Krylon if you use an inkjet printer. I would suggest a water-based inkjet printer for vinyl.
A thermal printer and a laser printer are non-impact printers. A dot matrix, that fires pins against an inked roller, and uses a tractor roller to feed continuous paper through the printer, is an example of an impact printer.
