Which component of an impact printer transfers characters onto the paper by striking an inked ribbon?
Imaging drum
Print head
Heating element
Feed assembly
In an impact printer such as a dot-matrix model, the print head contains pins (or hammers) that physically strike an ink-soaked ribbon. The impact forces ink from the ribbon onto the paper, forming the desired characters or graphics. Other assemblies-such as the feed assembly (moves paper), heating element (used in thermal printers), and imaging drum (used in laser printers)-do not perform this function in an impact printer.
