A 24 pin dot matrix printer is an impact printer that prints characters and images by striking an inked printer ribbon against paper using a print head with 24 tiny pins, arranged in two vertical columns.

How a 24 pin dot matrix printer works

24 pin dot matrix printers work through a series of mechanical and electrical steps. The steps are as follows:
  • Data received: The dot matrix printer gets text or graphics data from your computer system in the form of dot patterns.
  • Pin activation: Each of the 24 pins in the printers printhead is controlled by an electromagnet, which strikes the pin forward when charged.
  • Ribbon strike: The pins hit an inked fabric ribbon, pressing ink onto the paper to form a dot.
  • Character/image formation: By firing combinations of pins as the print head moves horizontally, characters and images are built dot by dot.
  • Paper feed: After one line is printed, a stepper motor advances the paper slightly to prepare for the next line.

This cycle repeats across the page until the print is complete. This process may be slower and noisier than with a standard printer, but 24 dot matrix printers are extremely reliable, cost-effective and capable of printing durable documents in demanding environments.
