Just to be clear- when you say they are line printers, that means that they have pins across the entire width of the paper/platen - and can print an entire line at a time, right? There is no moving print head...
Correct. The LDM800 and the 2564B are line-matrix printers: they print an entire row of dots at a time. In the case of the 2564B, the corebar oscillates rapidly horizontally, across two character positions. There are 66 print hammers on the corebar.
