Explanation

Dot matrix printers use continuous-feed or tractor-feed paper that must be physically aligned with the print head and sprocket holes before printing. This is a manual mechanical process involving the user adjusting paper position and print head alignment by hand. Inkjet printers do have a calibration/alignment process, but it is performed automatically through a software wizard and printed test pattern-not manual adjustment. Laser and thermal printers do not require this type of manual paper alignment.
