Explain Different Types Of Output Devices

Output devices


Out put devices are used to display results of processing to the user. They perform the following functions:
  1.  Receive results from memory
  2.  Convert data into human readable form
  3.  Display results to the user

Examples include: Monitor, printer, plotter, speaker, and multimedia projector.

Different Types of Output Devices


1.    Monitor
Monitors, Different Types of Output Devices

CTR Monitor
   

Monitor is the most commonly used output device used to display results of processing. It has a TV like shape. Pictures on monitor are formed with picture elements called PIXEL. Monitors may be Monochrome that will display results in Black & White. Color Monitors are also available. They display results in multi colors. Monitor produces soft copy output.


2.    Printers

Printers are used to produce hard copy out put. They print processing results on paper. Printers are divided into two main categories:
·    Impact Printers
·    Non Impact printers

Impact Printers.
Impact Printers, Different Types of Output Devices

These printers print with striking of hammers or pins on ribbon. For example Dot Matrix printer and daisy wheel printers are impact printers.

Non-Impact Printers.
Non-impact Printers, Different Types of Output Devices

These printers do not use striking mechanism for printing. They use electrostatic and laser technology. Quality and speed of these printers is better than Impact printers. For example Laser printer and Inkjet printers are non-impact printers.

3.    Speaker and Headsets
Speakers, Different Types of Output Devices
Speakers for Desktop computer

Speakers and head sets produce sound output. We can listen recorded voices, sounds or music with the help of speaker or headset. Speaker produces sound output with the help of sound card.
Headsets - used to produce audio output



4.    Plotter
Plotters, Different Types of Output Devices

A plotter is an output device used to produce image-quality graphics in a variety of colors. Plotters are used to print large maps, architectural drawings, graphs and charts. Plotters are used to draw different designs of buildings or internal structure of machines. Plotters offer the fastest way to efficiently produce very large drawings or color high-resolution graphics. Engineers and Architects use plotters.

5.    Multimedia Projector.
Multimedia Projectors, Different Types of Output Devices
Multimedia Projector

Multimedia projector is used to produce computer output on a big screen. These are used in meeting rooms or in classrooms of educational institutes. Since the output produced by multimedia projector is displayed on a large screen, it can be viewed by a large number of people in a hall, meeting / conference room or a class room. Mostly teachers use data projectors in class rooms for delivering lectures ( a use of audio visual aids technology)

Explain Main Difference Between System Software and Application Software

Topic: Explain Main Difference Between System Software and Application Software            Differentiate between system software and application software Before , explaining the main differences between application software and system software, let us know the definitions of Application software and System software with examples. What is System Software: System software is a set of programs to control all components of computer and to manage overall operations of computer system. Differences between System software and application software System software is used as a base to install and run all application software. Examples of system software include: Operating Systems, like Microsoft Windows, DOS, Unix and Linux Device Drivers like Device driver software of a Printer (found on CD normally provided with the printer) Utility Programs like AVAST anti virus, Disk Scanners and File Viewers etc. What is Applicat...

HTML Table Tag Basics

Tables Tables are very important to show data in the form of rows and columns. Tables make data more readable and easy to understand. A table consists of rows, columns and cells. HTML Tags To Make A Table As we know that there are basically three elements in a table, that is, rows, columns and cells. So, there are the following basic tags to create a table in an HTML web page: <TABLE> tag <TR> tag <TD> tag <TH> tag   <TABLE> Tag <Table> tag is used to specify the start of a table. It also specifies some attributes of the table like ALIGN and BORDER attributes etc. Example 1: <Table>                    => Table without a border. Example 2: <Table border="1">     => Table with a border of width 1. Example 3: <Table align="left" border="2">  => A left aligned Table with a border of width 2. ...

Explain The Concept of A Computer System

A system is a set of inter related components that work together to fulfill a purpose. For example a Road Transportation System will consist of the parts - roads, vehicles- trucks, buses, vans, cars etc, passengers, the staff for ticketing and maintenance of vehicles and roads etc. And the transportation system will fulfill the purpose of carrying of passengers and luggage from place to place. Similarly, a computer system consists of many components that work together to fulfill the purpose of data processing. A Computer system consists of the following four parts: 1.    Hardware 2.    Software 3.    Data 4.    User 1.    Hardware The mechanical devices that makeup the computer are called HARDWARE , for example, Keyboard, hard disk, monitor, processor and mother board etc. Hardware are physical devices . They can be touched. Hardware device are interconnected and perform input, processing and output o...
