A printer in which the characters are embossed on a band is

Dot-matrix
Laser
Golf-ball
Chain E. None of the above

The correct answer is D. Chain.

A chain printer is a type of impact printer that uses a chain of characters to print text. The chain is made up of individual characters that are embossed on a metal band. The band is rotated and the characters are struck against the paper to print the text.

Dot-matrix printers use a print head that contains a matrix of pins. The pins are fired to strike the paper and create dots that form the characters.

Laser printers use a laser to create an image on a drum. The image is then transferred to the paper using a toner cartridge.

Inkjet printers use ink cartridges to spray ink onto the paper.

Golf-ball printers use a spherical print head that contains a ball with characters embossed on it. The ball is rotated and the characters are struck against the paper to print the text.

Chain printers are no longer commonly used, as they are slower and less reliable than other types of printers.
