the line printer

– Any printer that prints one line at a time as opposed to one character at a time (as with many dot-matrix printers) or one page at a time (as with some dot-matrix and most laser printers). Line printers typically produce the familiar 11-by-17-inch fanfold computer printouts. They are high-speed devices and are often used with mainframes, minicomputers, or networked machines rather than with single-user systems. ¹
