See also halftoning. dot matrix A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by a pattern (matrix) of individual dots. draft The print mode used by your printer when you select Draft as the font. The Draft font uses fewer dots per character for faster printing. See also letter quality. driver See printer driver.
