train printerAn early line printer that used a mechanism similar to a chain printer, except that the characters were not chained together.

See chain printer and printer. train printer [′trān ‚print·ər] (computer science) A computer printer in which the characters are carried in a track and a hammer strikes the proper character against the paper as it passes the print position.
