| (punkt)matrisskrivare | Explanation:
"punktmatrisskrivare" or "matrisskrivare" refers to the printer (ie dot-matrix inkjet printer), but in this context you might want to use just (punkt)matris (eg. "...satte matrisen till det hålade papperet" jfr "sätta pennan till papperet") |

Grading comment Thanks. Will still have to decide whether to go with a literal translation or not, but at least now I know what the original phrase means.
