Dot Matrix Printer
A print head shuttles across tractor-feed paper and leaves a line of dotted type behind it. At each line end it races back while the paper jolts up one line, so the printout keeps scrolling away.
Also known as: dot matrix printer animation, printer loading css, receipt printing loader, retro printer animation.
