  3. Introduction • Any device that outputs information from a computer is called, an output device. • Output devices enable the users to perceive the results of computer processing. • An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as a computer) which converts the electronically generated information into human-readable form. • Devices that display, print, or transmit the results of processing from the computer’s memory. • An output device is any peripheral device that converts machine-readable information into people-readable form such as a monitor, printer, plotter and voice output device.

  4. Various Output Devices • Monitors • Printers • Plotters • Speakers Back

  5. Monitors • The on-screen display enables the user to view the results of data processing. • The monitors has its own processing circuitry and memory, called Video RAM (VRAM). • The screen output is referred to as a soft copy, while the printed version of the same information is called the hard copy. • Monitors use Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology used in television sets.

  6. The image is formed by electrons “guns” which shoots a stream of electrons at the screen’s phosphorescent surface. • In a color monitor, three electron guns, (red, green, and blue) are used. • They fire electrons in varying intensities to produce on-screen shots.

  8. Printers • A printer is a device that prints output to a page. • Printers are commonly categorized by the way they create print characters • Printers come in color or simply black and white. • Most businesses have laser printers since the quality is better. • Printers can be connected to the computer or networked using a print server. Two basic print technologies are:- ∙Impact printers ∙Non-impact printers Back

  9. Types of Printers • Impact Printer: An impact printer forms characters and graphics on a piece of paper by striking a mechanism contacts the paper. • Non-Impact Printers: A non-impact printer forms character and graphics on a piece of paper without actually striking the paper.

  10. Types of Printer • Types of Impact Printer • Daisy Wheel Printer • Dot-Matrix Printer • Types of Non-Impact Printer • Ink-Jet Printer • Laser Printer Back

  11. Dot Matrix Printer • A dot matrix printer forms characters and graphics on the paper by producing pattern of dots. • Dot matrix printers are relatively cheap and so is the stationary they use. • Dot matrix printers are generally noisy. • Slow, with speed usually ranging between 30 to 600 characters per second.

  13. Daisy Wheel Printer • A Daisy Wheel printer is an impact printer that uses a wheel as a print head. As the Wheel rotates, a hammer strikes the backside of the spoke and presses it against the paper to print a character. • Can print letter quality characters. • Printing speed is very slow. Back

  14. Inkjet Printer • This is a non-impact printer that forms characters and graphics by spraying tiny drops of liquid ink onto a piece of paper. • Inkjet Printers are very quite to operate and can produce good quality printouts of both graphics and text. • Inkjet Printers are generally quite. • Inkjet Printers can produce high quality color output Back

  15. Laser Printer • The mechanism of haw a laser printer works is similar to a photocopier. Laser printers are also known as page printers because they process and store the entire page before they actually print it. • Laser printers can be print text at speeds of 4 to over 30 pages per minute. • The cost per page of toner cartridges is lower than other printers. • Laser printers are quite and fast. Back

  16. Plotters • A plotter is large printer that generates high-quality documents by moving ink panes over the surface of paper. • Plotters are particularly useful to engineers and architects, as they produce high quality blueprints, maps, and floor plans. • Can print on large printers • High quality printing • Plotters are expensive Back

  17. Speakers • A speaker, or speaker system converts an electrical signal to sound • The term loudspeaker can refer to individual transducers (known as drivers), or to complete systems consisting of a enclosures incorporating one or more drivers and electrical filter components. • Loudspeakers are the most variable elements in an audio system and are responsible for the greatest degree of audible difference between sound system.
