The dot-matrix printhead houses the print wires that strike the ribbon to produce a dot on the paper.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is correct. Dot-matrix printers work by using a printhead that contains a number of closely spaced print wires. When the printhead moves across the paper, these wires strike an ink ribbon, transferring ink onto the paper and creating a dot. By combining dots in different patterns, the printer can create text and graphics.
