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 different types of storage devices

Topic: Explain different types of storage devices in Computer systems Storage Devices Storage devices are used to store data and instructions permanently. Storage devices are also called secondary storage devices / backing storage devices / external storage devices or auxiliary storage devices. Examples of storage devices include Hard Disk, CD and DVD etc. Why Secondary Storage Devices are Used? Secondary storage devices are used because: Primary memory(RAM) is volatile and temporary. When computer is switched off, all data in ram is erased. Storage devices can store large amounts of data and instructions permanently whereas Primary memory has less capacity of storing data. Types Of Storage Devices There are three main types of storage devices:  Magnetic Tape   Magnetic Disk   Optical Disk   Flash Memory storage devices 1. Magnetic Tape Magnetic tape is the oldest storage device. It is made of plastic coated with magnetic material. Data is stored on mag

YouTube Video Tutorial How to write a Python program to convert centimetres to inches Formula to convert centimetres to inches   Explanation of this Python Program This Python program prompts the user to enter a height in inches, converts it to centimeters, and then prints the converted value. It uses the conversion factor of 2.54 to perform the conversion and rounds the result to two decimal places before displaying it to the user. Here's an explanation of the provided Python program line by line: python inches = float ( input ( 'Enter the Height in inches to convert into centimeters:' )) This line prompts the user to enter a height in inches and assigns the entered value to the variable inches . The input() function is used to receive input from the user, and float() is used to convert the input into a floating-point number. python centimeters = inches * 2.54 This line calculates the equivalent value in centimeters by multiplying the inches variable by the conver
