Translations

daisywheel printer

(printer)A kind of impact printer where the characters arearranged on the ends of the spokes of a wheel (resembling thepetals on a daisy).

The wheel (usually made of plastic) is rotated to select thecharacter to print and then an electrically operated hammermechanism bends the selected spoke forward slightly,sandwiching an ink ribbon between the character and the paper,as in a typewriter.

One advantage of this arrangement over that of a typewriter isthat different wheels may be inserted to produce differenttypefaces.
