  1. INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICES

  2. TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED • Input • Input Devices: Giving Commands • Output Devices

  3. Input Input is any data entered into the computer’s memory. Types of input include: Data – Unorganized information (words, numbers, images, or sounds) that the computer converts to meaningful information. Software – Programs transferred from storage devices to the computer’s memory. Commands – Instructions that tell the computer what to do. Responses – Prompts requiring user feedback. BACK

  4. Input Devices: Giving Commands Mouse keyboard Other Pointing Devices

  5. Keyboard The keyboard allows the computer user to enter words, numbers, punctuation, symbols, and special function commands into the computer’s memory. Generally keyboard are of two sizes 84 keys or 101/102 keys. Whenever a key is pressed an electric pulse is generated and feeded to computer as input.

  6. Types of Keyboards Ergonomic Keyboard Enhanced / Extended Keyboard Enhanced or Extended keyboard – Typically 101 keys laid out in the QWERTY fashion; connected to the computer by a cable Cordless keyboard – Uses infrared or radio wave signals Ergonomic keyboard – Designed to help prevent cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) or damage to nerve tissues in the wrist and hand due to repeated motion

  7. The Mouse The mouse is very popular cursor-control device. Mouse is a small box with a round ball at the bottom. There are two or three depression switches on the top. Mouse is used to manipulate cursor(arrow) at the screen. Mouse can’t be used to enter text. Its advantage is that it moves the cursor faster than the arrow keys of keyboard.

  8. Types of Mouse Wheel mouse – Contains a rotating wheel used to scroll vertically within a text document; connects to USB port Cordless mouse – Uses infrared signals to connect to the computer’s port; it must be within sight of the receiving port

  9. Other Types of Pointing Devices Trackball Touch Screen PointingStick Joystick TouchPad Pen

  10. Audio Input: Speech Recognition • Speech recognition is a type of input in which the computer recognizes words spoken into a microphone. • Special software and a microphone are required. • Voice recognizers are used as input devices to accept voice commands.

  12. Output Devices • Output devices are peripheral devices that enable us to view or hear the computer’s processed data. Output devices can be broadly classified into following two types: • Soft copy output  output which is not produced on paper. • Hard copy output  output which is produced on paper.

  13. Monitors LCD CRT A monitor is a peripheral device which displays computer output on a screen. Screen output is referred to as soft copy. Types of monitors: Cathode ray tube(CRT) Liquid Crystal Display(LCD)

  14. Printers • A printer is a peripheral device that produces a physical copy or hard copy of the computer’s output.

  15. Types of Printers Laser • Laser printer works like a copier • Quality determined by dots per inch (dpi) produced • Color printers available • Expensive initial costs but cheaper to operate per page Inkjet • Inkjet printer, also called a bubble-jet, makes characters by inserting dots of ink onto paper • Letter-quality printouts • Cost of printer is inexpensive but ink is costly

  16. Plotter A plotter is a printer that uses a pen that moves over a large revolving sheet of paper. It is used in engineering, drafting, map making. BACK
