A typewriter is a mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic device with a set of "keys" that, when pressed, cause characters to be printed on a document, usually paper.
In the late 19th and the start of the 20th century a person who operated such a device was sometimes also called a typewriter but it then became more common to call the person a typist.
Though now the typewriter may seem rather dated, it was once very useful. A typewriter has a keyboard, with keys for each of the characters in its font. The method by which the typewriter actually marks the paper now varies as greatly as types of computer printers do, but until the end of the 20th century was by the impact of a metal (or, later, metallized plastic) type element against an "inked" ribbon which caused ink to be deposited on the paper. When multiple copies are necessary, carbon paper is inserted between multiple pieces of paper, so the type impression is transmitted to multiple layers of paper.
