You're confusing some of us now because C.Itoh made actual "shuttle (line-)printers"

Their "shuttle printer" was a matrix printer, but instead of a head which traveled the full length of the line, they had a head with 132 pins which just vibrated the width of one single character each.

Huge beasts, very fast (300 and 600 LPM as I recall) and you could hear the hum from the vibrating head two floors down when it ran...
