Differences Between Impact & Non-Impact Printers

10 Differences Between Impact Printers and Non Impact Printers

Differences Between Impact and Non-Impact Printers

Dot Matrix Printer - Main Topic: Differences Between Impact and Non-Impact Printers Impact Printers
Laser Printer - Main Topic: Differences Between Impact and Non-Impact Printers Non-Impact Printers
1 It produces print on paper by striking mechanism. It produces print on paper with a non-striking mechanism
2 It uses pins, hammers or wheel to strike against an inked ribbon to print on a paper.. It uses laser, spray of special ink, or heat and pressure to print on paper. 
3 Normally impact printers use continuous paper sheet.  Non-Impact printers normally use individual paper sheets.
4 Impact printers are normally less expansive. Non-Impact printers are more expansive.
5 Print quality of impact printers is lower than those of non impact printers.. Print quality of Non-Impact printers is higher than those of impact printers.
6 Impact printers use special inked ribbons to produce print on paper when print head strikes. Non-Impact printers use toner or cartridge for printing on paper.
7 Impact printers are low speed printers. They consume a lot of time to print a document. Non-Impact printers are very fast, they can print many pages per minute.
8 Impact printers are very noisy because they strike print head. Non-Impact printers do not make a noise because they do not use striking mechanism in which print head strikes on ribbon and paper etc.
9 Examples of Impact printers are Dot matrix and daisy wheel printers. Examples of Non-Impact printers are laser printers and inkjet printers.
10 Impact printers use old printing technologies. Non impact printers use latest printing technologies.

Uses Of Computer In Education Field

Computer can be used in education in the following ways:  Computers In Teaching and Learning Process ( Computer Aided Learning - CAL ) Computers are being used actively in educational institutes to improve the learning process. Teachers can use audio video aids through computer to prepare lesson plans. They can use Microsoft Power Point to prepare electronic presentations about their lectures. These electronic presentations will be displayed on multimedia projectors in class rooms. This will be interesting and easy to learn for students. Multimedia presentations are easy to deliver for teachers too, These presentations save a lot of effort and time. Moreover multimedia presentations are interesting to view and hear sound and visual  effects. Computers will be helpful for:                        Instructing the students using PowerPoint slides, Word documents or Web pages and using hyperlinks for be...

Types Of Network Topology

Today, we will types of network topology . What is a Network Topology? Definition of Network topology is the shape of the network . It is the physical layout of connected devices in a network. It tells us how a network will look like. Network Topology ( Definition 2) : The way in which the connections are made among all the network entities is called the topology of the network. Network Topology ( Definition 3) :Network topology specifically refers to the physical layout of the network, e.g., the location of the computers and how the cable is run between them. Network Topology ( Definition 4) :The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals. The characteristics of a network depend upon the network topology selected. types of network topology Explain different types of network Topology Different network topologies are as follows: 1. Bus Topology 2. Ring Topology 3. Star Topology 4. Tree Topolo...
