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.

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 Application Software? Users can use Appli

Define Data and Information With Examples

DATA Data is the collection of raw facts and figures. Actually data is unprocessed, that is why data is called collection of raw facts and figures. Define Data and Information with Examples We collect data from different resources. After collection, data is entered into computer for processing. Data may be collection of words, numbers, pictures,  or sounds etc. Examples of Data 1) Student Data on Admission Forms When students get admission in a college. They fill admission form. This form  contains raw facts (data of student) like name, father’s name, address of student, obtained marks, photo graph etc. 2)    Data of Citizens During census, data of all citizens is collected. The staff will go house to house and collect data about citizens like number of persons living in a home, either they are literate or illiterate, number of children, data of each child, cast, religion, Computerized national Identity Card number, address, how many rooms and other facilities in the

Advantages and Disadvantages of Ring Network Topology

Topic: Advantages and Disadvantages of Ring Network Topology alongwith detailed working of Ring topology What Do You Mean by Ring Topology? In Ring topology, each computer is connected to the next computer such that last computer is connected to the first. Every computer is connected to next computer in the ring. Each computer retransmits what it receives from the previous computer. Suppose, computer A needs to send data to computer D. Now the computer A sends data to computer B. As computer B is not the destination computer, so it will retransmit data to computer C. Finally, Computer C will transfer data to computer D, the destination computer. When a node sends a message, the message is processed by each computer in the ring. If a computer is not the destination node, it will pass the message to the next node, until the message arrives at its destination. Advantages of Ring Network Topology 1. It is relatively less expensive than a star topology network. 2. In a Rin
