1Introduction of Computer CHAPTER           Chapter Includes     •	 Introduction of computer   •	 Characteristics of computer   •	 Limitations of computer   •	 Application fields of computer    INTRODUCTION  The 20th century saw the birth of  one of the most important tools  widely used today called a computer.  Computer as a revolution left no area  of life untouched in the present world.  It is of tremendous help in all fields  of life. Hence, the knowledge of  computer is a necessity for existence  in this global village. The invention  of the computer has transformed our  simple manual works to sophisticated  life of automated works to meet the global demand for higher productivity and  increased efficiency with high precision. So, This 21st century is being referred  as the digital age.    A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions  stored in its own memory. It can accept data (input), process the data according to  specified rules (process), produce information (output), and store the information  for future use. So, a computer is also called the Information Processing Machine  (IPM). The information produced by the computer is useful for us to take the right  decision in our work.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER    Due to the most valuable characteristics, computer is more powerful machine than  other machines. The major characteristics of a computer are speed, accuracy,  diligence, versatility and memory:    Speed    Computers are very fast machine. They work in very high speed, they are able  to process the data and give the output in fractions of a second. The powerful  PC(Personal Computer) can work almost 5 million instructions per second. So,  the speed of the computer is measured in terms of MIPS (Million Instruction Per  Second).                  Unit of Time Fraction of a second 10 raised to the power Value           Millisecond 1/1000          10-3   One thousandth           Micro Second 1/1000000      10-6   One millionth           Nanosecond 1/1000000000     10-9   One billionth           Picosecond 1/1000000000000  10-12  One trillionth    Accuracy    In spite of its high speed of processing, the computer's accuracy is consistently  high and avoids any errors. If it produces errors, they are due to errors in the  instructions given by the programmer, means inaccurate instructions lead the  inaccurate result which is called GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out), if the input is  wrong the output will also be wrong.    Diligence    Being a machine, computer does not suffer from tiredness, boredom, or lack of  concentration. Even if millions of calculations are to be performed, it will perform  the last calculation with the same accuracy, speed and concentration as the first  one.    Versatility    They can perform several tasks at the same time, such as user can play songs,  work on documents, search for any documents in the hard disk, surf the net,  download software, calculate sums, etc.    Memory    This is also one of the most essential characteristics of the computer, these days  they can store almost any volume of data due to its high storage capacities. Once  the data or instruction is saved to the computer memory which remains in the  memory until and unless someone deletes it. This information can be retrieved  instantly when desired.           8 Introduction of Computer
LIMITATIONS OF COMPUTER    1. 	The Computer does not work on itself.	  2. Computers are not intelligent.    3. Computers cannot take decisions on its own.	 4. No IQ (Intelligence Quotient )    BASIC APPLICATION OF COMPUTER    In this age of 21st century, Computers are used in so many fields in our daily life.  It has become most important thing like our food, shelter and clothing because  there is no any fields without computer. It has wide range of application. Some of  the basic application fields of computers are:    Business: Computers are used in several business organizations for maintaining staff  records, sales forecasting, production planning, marketing planning, etc.    Entertainment : Computers can be used to listen music, watch movies, play games and also  computer is used to create these.    Banking: Using the computer, Banks provide an online banking facility which includes current  balances, deposits, overdrafts, interest charges, etc. ATM (Automated Teller Machine) is a  most efficient service of the Bank.    Healthcare: Computers are used in hospitals to automate the day to day procedures  and operations at hospitals, such as to keep the record of patients and medicines, online  appointments, discharge,etc. as well as to diagnose the disease and perform the surgery.    Education: Computers are used in the education sector through online classes, online  examinations, referring e-books, online tutoring, etc. They help in increased use of audio-  visual aids in the education field.    Communication: Computer is being an integral part of communication. Computing  communication includes e-mail, chatting, Telnet, video-conferncing, etc. Due to computer  this world transformed into global village, in a single click people can connect with each other.    Defence: Modern tanks, missiles, weapons are fully computerized and controlled by  computer. Some military areas where a computer has been used for missile control, military  communication, military operation and planning, etc.    TYPES OF COMPUTER    Computers are divided into three types according to their working principle:    	 i) Analog computers	 ii) Digital computers	 iii) Hybrid computers    Analog Computers    The computers, which provide us continuous  information are called analog computers. Analog  computers represent physical quantities in the form  of waves or in a continuous form. Thermometer,  Traditional clock, Weight machine, speedometer  are examples of analog device. Analog computers  are used in scientific and engineering purposes. A  Seismograph is an analog computer which is used  to detect and record earthquakes.    Smart Computer Science Book-9               9
Digital Computers  The computers, which present physical  quantities with the help of symbols  or numbers and provide us discrete  information are called digital computers.  It is designed to perform calculations  and logical operations at high speed. It  works in two states 0 and 1. All modern  computers like laptop ,desktop, tablet,  mobile phone are examples of digital computer.                                       Hybrid Computer                                        The device having the combination features of analog                                      and digital computer is called hybrid computer. It is                                      the special purpose computer. This type of machine                                      is generally used in industrial process and scientific                                      application. In ICU (Intensive Care Unit) of a hospital,                                      hybrid computers are used. Such computer informs                                      the doctor about the blood pressure, temperature,                                      and physical status of the patient.

It is  impossible to perform this task with single component. So, basic four types of  functional devices are required and integrated under a single roof to perform  this task. If more than one devices are integrated that forms a system. Therefore  computer is a system which performs the computing task.    The computer system is just as our complete body formation with the integration  of different organs and respiration system, it is also formed with integration of  different hardware parts and software. Hardware parts are as our internal and  external organs of our body and software can be compared with our soul or  respiration system that helps to bring life to the computer.    So, It is defined that a computer system is an smart architecture with the    integration of different hardware devices as well as software they work together    to process data and produce the output result according to our instructions. The    major functional hardware components integrated with computer system are as :    1. Input hardware       3. Memory hardware    2. Processing hardware  4. Output hardware    	 These hardware form the four units of computer system : Input unit,  memory unit, processing unit and output unit. All these hardware components are  connected with wire, wireless and with digital circuitry and forms a system. The  basic architecture of computer system is illustrated in the following figure:    16 Computer System
Data & Instruction   Software & Data      Information        Input Unit    Secondary Storage      Output Unit                                 Memory Unit                        Control Unit    Data Flow           Arithmetic Logical  Control Flow                  Unit                                 CPU                              MOTHERBOARD    INPUT UNIT    In computing, an input unit is a piece of  computer hardware peripheral device  used to provide data and signals to an  information processing system. Examples  of input devices include keyboards,  mouse, scanners, digital cameras,  joysticks, microphone, etc. When we  supply our data and instruction through the input device that is converted into  computer readable form (0 and 1) then goes to the primary memory unit.    MEMORY UNIT    Memory unit is a collection of storage cells  together with associated circuits which is  known as primary memory that is a RAM  (Random Access Memory). It holds the  unprocessed data, instruction, programs  and processed information. So, it is also    Smart Computer Science Book-9             17
called working memory or main memory of the computer. It is temporary in nature  because we will not get any information after shut down and power failure.    The data and instructions supplied from input unit are first stored in this memory,  then transferred to ALU of CPU where further processing is done. After processing  data, again the result is transferred to this memory unit, then goes to the output  device as an information. The necessary programs (i.e. operating system,  application programs) and data of secondary storage are also transferred in this  memory before being used by the computer.    CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)  Central processing unit (CPU) is the  central component of the computer system.  Sometimes it is called as microprocessor or  processor. The CPU is an integrated circuit  that contains millions of transistors, packed  into a single chip. It works same as our brain  works in the body, so, it is called brain of  the computer. It is responsible in controlling  all the other components attached to the  computer system such as keyboard, mouse,  memory, and printer etc.    All the functions and processing tasks are done in the CPU. It receives inputs,  performs logical as well as arithmetic operation and produces meaningful output.  Specially logical and arithmetic operation are known as the processing task. The  CPU has three parts:    	 a. CU (Control Unit)	 b. ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)	 c. Register    CU (Control Unit)  The Control Unit (CU) Controls and coordinates all the activities performed in the  computer system using time signal. It gives and receives the electronic control  signals to the ALU, memory unit, input and output devices and secondary storage  how to handle the program or instruction in proper order, without control signals of  CU, other devices connected to computer system do not work. So, it is also called  central nerve of a computer. It receives information or instruction from the main  memory of a computer, then converts them into control signals and understands  which operation to execute exactly and in which order then this signals are sent  to the ALU for further processing.    ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)  After you enter data through the input device that is stored in the memory unit  that is a RAM (Random Access Memory). The actual processing of the data              18 Computer System
and instruction are performed by Arithmetic Logic Unit. The major operations  performed by the ALU are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and logical  comparison. Data is transferred to ALU from memory unit when required. After  processing, the result returns back to the memory unit.    Registers    It is a temporary storage area of the computer processor. It is managed by control  unit(CU). Registers hold data, instruction, intermediate result and storage address  that are needed while program running and data processing.                                         OUTPUT UNIT                                          The output unit produces the information from the                                        computer to user in the human readable form. The                                        output device receives the information from the                                        processing unit in machine readable form, translates                                        them in human readable form and presents to the                                        user. The common output devices are monitor,                                        printer, speaker, projector, etc.    SECONDARY STORAGE    Secondary storage is called as a permanent  storage unit because the data remains in this  device even when there is a power failure or  shutdown, they are much cheaper than primary  memory. It is also called auxiliary memory.  When the data is stored in this memory user  can recall the data whenever they need. All the  software programs are stored in this memory,  such as operating system, application program,  language program, etc. Processed result and  data are also stored permanently in this device. When we open program or data  file, they are transferred in the temporary memory unit (i.e. RAM). HDD (Hard  Disk), SSD (Solid State Disk), optical disk, flash drive are secondary storage.    BUS    As we know computers system  contained many internal and external  components. In order for these  components to communicate with each  other, a bus is used. A computer bus is    Smart Computer Science Book-9  19
a common pathway through which information is travelled from one component  to another. In simple words, a computer bus is a set of parallel conductors,  which may be conventional wires, copper tracks on a Printed Circuit Board, or  microscopic aluminum trails on the surface of a silicon chip.    MOTHERBOARD  A motherboard is the  main printed circuit  board (PCB). It is the  backbone or roof of  a computer system.  It holds together  all of the crucial  components of a  computer, including  the central processing  unit (CPU), memory  and connectors for  input and output  devices.    The base of a motherboard consists of a very firm sheet of non-conductive  material, typically some sort of rigid plastic. Thin layers of copper or aluminum  foil, referred to as traces, are printed onto this sheet. These traces are very  narrow and form the circuits between the various components. In addition to  circuits, a motherboard contains a number of sockets and slots to connect the  other components.    SOFTWARE  Software is an important part of the computer  system. It is a collection of programs used to  operate computers and execute specified tasks.  Software brings life to the computer, without soft-  ware, it is similar to a dead body. All the software  are installed in the secondary storage hard disk.  When we startup the computer, operating sys-  tem program becomes automatically loaded  in the primary memory unit from the secondary  storage, then computer becomes alive.              20 Computer System

Input-Output Devices     CHAPTER                              3           Chapter Includes     •	 Introduction of peripheral and types   •	 Input device and types   •	 Output devices and types   •	 Ports    INTRODUCTION    The input-output devices are known as  the peripheral devices. All the internal  as well as external devices surround the  central processing unit (CPU) are called  the peripheral devices. All these peripheral  devices are responsible for central  processing unit. The users interact with the  CPU through these devices. Thus, they  act as an interface between users and the  CPU. The interaction is difficult because  of the language barrier. The CPU uses  machine language, which is difficult for  users. The input-output (I/O) devices help  in taking the translated version of the input  to machine readable form(0 and 1) and  output to users readable form. There are major two types of peripheral devices:    	 i) Input devices	 ii) Output devices    INPUT DEVICE    All computer peripheral devices which are used to input data and instructions  to the computer are called input devices. Keyboard, mouse and touchpad are  common input devices. Input devices accept data and instructions from the user  and convert them into a form which computer can understand (i.e. 0 and 1),  then send to the main memory of the computer for processing. Input devices are  connected to a computer system with USB port (Universal Serial Bus), Ps/2 port    28 Input-Output Devices
or Bluetooth. The following are the important types input devices:    	 a. Keyboard 	 b. Pointing devices	 c. Digital camera	    	 d. Microphone	 e. Digitizer		 f. Mark and character recognition device    Keyboard  	 Keyboard is a one of the primary input                                                     devices used to input data and instruction                                                   into the computer system by pressing the                                                   keys in the keyboard. The common layout                                                   of the keyboard is QWERTY. It has function                                                   keys, control keys, arrow keys, keypad and                                                   the keyboard itself with the letters, numbers                                                   and commands. A laptop keyboard is more  compact than a desktop keyboard to make the laptop smaller and lighter. Smart  phones and tablets use on-screen keyboard to input messages and commands.    Pointing Devices  A pointing device is a hardware peripheral input device that allows the user  to move the pointer in a computer program or GUI (Graphical User Interface)  operating system. Using a pointing device, you can point, click or manipulate any  object or text on the screen. For example, using a pointing device you can point  and select an icon, menu, object from a list. Popular pointing devices are:    	 a. Mouse		 b. Touch pad		 c. Trackball    	 d. Joystick		 e. Touch screen		 f Light Pen    Mouse  The Mouse is the most popular pointing  device. It is a very famous cursor-  control device having a small palm  size box with a round small ball at its  base, which senses the movement of  the mouse and sends corresponding  signals to the CPU when the mouse  buttons are pressed. Generally, it has  two buttons called the left and the right  button and a wheel is present between  the buttons. A mouse can be used to control the position of the cursor on the  screen, but it cannot be used to enter text into the computer.    Smart Computer Science Book-9  29
Touch pad    The Touchpad is a pointing input device which  works as a mouse. It also has two buttons for  right and left to click. It comes with a laptop  computer. It lets you control the movement  of the cursor or pointer by moving your finger  over the touchpad.                                    Track Ball                                    The trackball is an input device that is mostly used in                                  notebook or laptop computer, instead of a mouse. The                                  ball is half inserted in the device and can be easily rolled                                  with a finger, thumb or the palm to move the pointer on                                  the screen. The device has sensors to detect the rotation                                  of the ball. Since the whole device is not moved, a track                                  ball requires less space than a mouse.    Joystick    Joystick is also a pointing input device, which is  used to move and control the cursor position on a  monitor screen. It has a stick having a spherical ball  at its both lower and upper ends and some push  buttons. The lower spherical ball moves in a socket.  The joystick can be moved in all four directions. The  function of the joystick is similar to a mouse. It is  used to play computer game. Although, a keyboard  and mouse can be used, joystick provides a better  control.                                                        Touch Screen                                                        Touch screen is a touch sensor display                                                      screen of a device such as a smartphone,                                                      tablet, etc., that allows users to interact                                                      or provide inputs to the device by using                                                      their finger. Today, most of the electronic                                                      devices come with touchscreen as an                                                      alternative to a mouse for navigating a                                                      graphical user interface. Besides this, it                                                      is used in lots of devices such as a TV                                                      screen, monitor, smart board, camera,  car GPS (Global Positioning System), fitness machine, etc.              30 Input-Output Devices
Light Pen    Light pen is a pointing input device similar to a pen.  It is used to select the menu item, draw lines and  figures on the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor  screen. It consists of a photocell and an optical  system placed in a small tube.    When the tip of a light pen is moved over the monitor  screen and the pen button is pressed, its photocell  sensing element detects the screen location and sends the signal to the CPU.                                             Digital Camera/Webcam                                              A digital camera is an input device that takes                                            both photographs and videos and stores on a                                            memory card. Picture and videos captured in                                            digital camera are transferred to the computer                                            with USB for further processing. After processing,                                            we can use as our requirement. The webcam is                                            also similar to a digital camera, but it is in-built                                            or connected to the computer. The pictures and                                            videos captured by webcam directly stored in the                                            secondary storage of a computer.    Microphone  The microphone is an input device of the  computer that is used to input the sound. It  receives the sound vibrations and converts  them into audio signals. The audio signals are  converted into digital data and stored in the  computer. The microphone also enables the  user to telecommunicate with others.                                                       Scanner                                                          A scanner is an input device which                                                        works like a photocopy machine. It                                                        captures images from photographic                                                        prints, posters, magazine pages, and                                                        similar sources for computer editing                                                        and display. It has mainly two working                                                        methods:    i) 	 First, it captures the matter and convert into optical image.    ii) 	 Second one converts the optical images into digital format and transfers to the compute for    Smart Computer Science Book-9  31
further editing and processing with the suitable image editing software.  Commonly two types of scanners are more popular:  	 i.) Flat-bed scanner			 ii.) Handheld scanners    Graphics Digitizer    A graphic digitizer also known as  a graphics tablet. It is a tool used  to convert hand-drawn images  into a suitable format for computer  processing. Images are usually  drawn onto a flat surface with a stylus  and then appear on a computer  monitor or screen. Digitizer tablets  can also be used as an input device,  receiving information represented in  drawings and sending output to a CAD  (Computer Aided Design) application    and PC-based software like AutoCAD.    Mark and character recognition devices    Mark and character recognition devices are input devices. They are used to scan  information printed on paper. These devices read the information and convert into  digital signals. These signals are input to the computer for further processing. The  commonly used mark and character recognition devices are:    i)	 MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition):	 ii) OMR (Optical Marks Recognition)    iii) OCR(Optical Character Recognition):		  iv) Magnetic Strip Card	 v) Smart Card    MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition):    MICR is a special scanner. It reads the  characters printed with magnetic ink  and converts them into digital signals.  These signals are input to the computer  for further processing.    MICR devices are normally used by  banks for processing cheque. On a  cheque, the bank code, customer  account number and cheque number  are printed with magnetic ink. The  customer cheque is placed to the MICR  device. It reads the information printed    32 Input-Output Devices
with magnetic ink on the cheque and sends to the computer for further processing.    OMR (Optical Marks Recognition):    OMR device is used to read handwritten  marks or symbols printed on the paper. It  uses a light beam to scan the marks and  converts them into digital signals. These  signals are then input to the computer for  further processing.    OMR device is usually used in the  educational field to check the objective type answers of the questions. For  example, it is used to check and process the test marks of NAT (National Aptitude  Test) or GRE(Graduate Record Examination).The pre printed answer sheet is  given to the OMR device. It scans the answer sheet and sends the information  to the computer. The computer automatically evaluates and calculates the result  according to the program instructions.                                                  OCR(Optical Character Recognition):                                                  OCR devices read pre-printed characters in a                                                particular font and converts them into digital                                                code. The characters printed on paper may                                                be typewritten or handwritten. OCR scans                                                the text optically, character by character,                                                converts them into a machine readable code,                                                and stores the text on the system memory. In                                                case of hand written, the characters must be                                                of standard size. But in case of typewritten,  the characters must have the special type font called an OCR font. The accepted  OCR fonts are OCR-A (American standard) and OCR-B (European standard).  The advance OCR It is widely used in offices and libraries to convert documents  and books into electronic files. Such file can be  edited by using word processing software.    Magnetic Stripe Card Reader    A magnetic stripe card has a strip of magnetically  encoded information on its back. Usually, the  magnetic stripe is used in the personal identity card.    Types of magnetic stripe cards include driver’s  licenses, credit cards, employee ID cards, gift  cards, and public transit cards. This magnetic stripe  card is inserted into a card reader for reading the  information encoded on the stripe.    Smart Computer Science Book-9  33
Smart Card Reader    A smart card is a physical card that    has an embedded integrated chip that    acts as a security token. It looks like    a credit card or ATM card. This card    contains a thin microprocessor and a                                Contact-less Card Reader  memory chip that is embedded in it.    The card is inserted into a card reader.  Contact-base Card Reader  The card reader reads the information    stored on the chip. It can also store and update some basic information. A mobile    SIM(Subscriber Identification Module) card, driving licences and ATM (Automated    Teller Machine) card are examples of smart card. The memory card is also a kind    of smart card.    A smart card reader is a device to which the smart card is connected either directly  or indirectly using RF (Radio Frequency) communication, So, it can be a contact-  base or contact-less card reader. It interfaces with the PC or a microcontroller  using the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port or RS232 serial ports.                       Bar Code Reader                       Bar Code Reader is a device used for reading bar                     coded data (data in the form of light and dark lines).                     Bar coded data is generally used in labelling goods,                     numbering the books, etc.                       Bar Code Reader scans a bar code image, converts                     it into an alphanumeric value, which is then fed to the                     computer for further processing.    Biometric Devices:  Biometrics refers to a process in which  a person is identified through his or her  biological features such as fingerprints, eye  cornea, face structure, etc. It is done by using  biometric devices, which can be of different  types based on their scanning features and  abilities. It scans and sends to the connected  computer for further processing. Some  of the common biometric scanners are :  Face Scanner, Hand Scanner, Fingerprint  Scanner, Retina or Iris Scanner, etc.              34 Input-Output Devices
OUTPUT DEVICES    Output devices are the hardware peripheral devices which are used to bring out  the information from the computer. The output devices are usually used for display,  projection, or for physical reproduction of information processed by computer.  Output devices produce data and information in multiple different forms, some of  which include audio, visual, and hard copy media. Monitors and printers are most  common output devices used in the computers. The basic working principles of  computer output devices are :        i) 	 Receive data and information that has been processed by the computer.        ii)	 Translates received data and information from machine coded form to user readable form.        iii)	 Finally, it presents to the user.    Basically output devices are classified into two types:    	 a. Soft copy output device		 b. Hard copy output devices.    Soft Copy Output Device    The electronic version of the output is known as the soft copy output. They are  temporary in nature and vanish after use because it is not produced on a paper  or materials. This output cannot be touched or carried for being shown to others.  For e.g. output displayed by a monitor, projector or sound produced by speaker is  a soft copy output. The common soft copy output devices are:    	 a. Monitor		 b. Projector		 c. Speaker    Monitor    Monitor is the most common soft copy output device which looks like a TV screen.  It is used for producing a soft copy output. The monitor always produces the  output result (text, graphics, video) in visual form on its screen. So, the monitor is  often called a VDU (Visual Display Unit) or visual display terminal. The two basic  types of monitor used today are:    i) 	Cathode Ray Tube :– It uses phosphorescent dots to    generate the pixels that constitute displayed images.    ii) Flat Panel Screen :– It makes use of liquid crystals    or plasma to produce output. Light passes through    the liquid crystals in order to generate pixels.    The is display quality of monitors depends on CRT monitor  Flat Panel Screen    a video card, which is positioned either on the computer motherboard or in a    special expansion slot. The video card sorts out the computer data into image    details, then monitors can show us as a display. Most computer monitors range    from 16 to 34 inches, measured diagonally from corner to corner. The average    user will be happy with 22-24\" screens.    Smart Computer Science Book-9                              35
Projector  A projector is an output device that allows the  user to project the output onto a large surface  such as a big screen or wall. It can be connected  to a computer and similar devices to project their  output onto a screen. It uses light and lenses to  produce magnified texts, images, and videos. So,  it is an ideal output device to give presentations  or to teach a large number of people. Common two types of projector are:    i) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) digital projector ii) Digital Light Processing (DLP) digital projector                                           Speaker                                         Speakers are popular soft output devices used                                         by computer systems. They receive audio input                                         from the computer's sound card and produce                                         audio output in the form of sound waves. Speakers                                         usually come in pairs, which allows them to produce                                         stereo sound from two separate audio channels.                                         Nowadays, every computer set has own speakers                                         in-built.    Hard Copy Output Device  A computer output printed on paper, film, or other permanent tangible medium  is known as hard copy output. Hard copy can be read without a computer and  take one place to another. The hard copy output is permanent and retain for a  long time. The devices which are used to produce such output in printed form are  called hardcopy output devices. Popular hard copy output devices are:    	 i) Printer				ii) Plotter    Printer  The printer is a device that prints text documents and images on paper means  converts a soft copy to hard copy. It is a peripheral output device. It prints data  that is processed by the computer. Printers are broadly classified in two groups: 	  	 i) impact printers 		 ii) Non-impact printers.    Impact Printers  Impact printers are used for printing documents as well as graphics. The working  of impact printer is very similar to that of the typewriter. Impact printers are  those printers where a physical contact is established among print head, ribbon              36 Input-Output Devices
cartridge and media (paper). The results is printing on paper under the ink ribbon.  The popular common types of impact printers are :    	 i) Dot matrix printer 	 ii) Daisywheel printer		 iii) Drum Printer    Dot matrix Printer:    Dot Matrix Printer is an impact printer. The  characters and images printed by it are  the patterns of dots. These patterns are  produced by striking the ink soaked ribbon  against the paper with a print head. The  print head contains 9 to 24 pins that produce  a pattern of dots on the paper to form the  individual characters. It is slow and noisy and  low quality print. But more economic, so that  it is used in most of the places worldwide.                                                 Daisywheel printer                                                 Daisywheel printer is an impact printer. It                                               prints one character in fixed shape and size                                               at a time. Head is lying on a wheel and pins                                               corresponding to characters are like petals                                               of Daisy (flower), so it is named Daisy Wheel                                               printer. It is old technology and performance                                               is also poor, so it is not used recent age. It                                               cannot be used to print graphics and is often                                               noisy and slow, the speed is very low around                                               25-50 characters per second. Due to these  drawbacks, these printers have become outdated.    Drum Printer    Drum printer is a high speed impact line  printer which can print 300 to 2000 lines  per minute. This printer is like a drum in  shape, hence it is called drum printer. It  is a line printer that is made of a rotating  drum to print characters.    It is an old line printer technology that  uses formed character images around a  cylindrical drum as its printing mechanism.  When the desired character for the    Smart Computer Science Book-9  37
selected position rotated around to the hammer line, the hammer hit the paper  from behind and pushed it into the ribbon and onto the character. These printers  are known to be very noisy, expensive, and character font can not be changed.    Non-impact printers  Non-impact printers print the characters without using the ribbon, there is no  physical contact between the print head and paper. Usually they are faster than  impact printers. These printers use thermal, chemical, electrostatic, laser beam  or inkjet technology for printing. These printers print a complete page at a time,  thus they are also called page printers. The common impact printers are:             ii) Inkjet Printers 	 v) Laser printers    Inkjet Printer    The inkjet printers are high quality non-impact printer  that prints images and characters by spraying fine  drops of ink. Inkjet printers use a continuous stream  of ink drops to print characters on paper. The print  head has tiny nozzles to spray drops on the paper  ink. The quality is good because the characters  are formed by dozens of tiny ink drops. An inkjet  printer has cartridges that contain ink. Modern inkjet  printers are color printers that have four cartridges  containing different colors: (CMYK) Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. It is  capable of printing high-quality images with different colors. It can produce print  objects with a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch).                                            Laser Printer                                            A laser printer is a non-impact printer that uses a                                          laser beam technology to print the characters on                                          paper. It prints a page at a time, so it is also called                                          page printer. It is a high quality and high speed                                          printer. These printers are available in both color                                          and black and white. But color laser printer is more                                          expensive.                                            It works similar to photocopy. The laser beam hits                                          the drum, which is a photoreceptor and draws the  image on the drum by altering electrical charges on the drum. Then, the drum  rolls in toner, and the charged image on the drum picks the toner. The toner is  then printed on the paper using heat and pressure. Once the document is printed,  the drum loses the electric charge,and the remaining toner is collected. The laser              38 Input-Output Devices
printers use powdered toner for printing instead of liquid ink.    Plotter    A plotter is a hard copy device much like a printer  that is used for printing vector graphics in large  surface. Instead of toner, plotters use a pen, pencil,  marker, or another writing tool to draw multiple,  continuous lines onto paper rather than a series  of dots like a traditional printer. Plotters are used  for printing architectural blueprints, engineering  designs, maps, graphs, charts and other CAD  drawings. Most popular plotters are drum plotters  and flatbed plotters.                                     QR code Scanner                                       QR (Quick Response) Codes are a quick way to                                     access information. It is a two-dimensional square                                     barcode which can store encoded data. Most of the                                     time the data is a link to a website. Today, QR Codes                                     can be seen on flyers, posters, magazines, and so on.                                     QR Codes let you interact with the world using your                                     smartphone.                                       It needs the scanner application. So, You must                                     download a QR Code scanner application and install in  your smart phone. When you scan a QR Code using your smartphone, you get an  immediate access to its content, like opening your web browser to a specific URL.  Other actions can be triggered, like storing a business card in your smartphone's  contact list or connecting to a wireless network.    PORT    A port is basically physical docking point which is basically used to connect the  input/output devices to the computer or we can say that a port act as an interface  between the computer and the external devices. Some of the common ports are:    Serial Port 	 : 	Used for external modems.    PS/2 port 	  : 	 PS/2 (Personal System/2) port is used to connect keyboard, mice to a PC (Personal                 Computer) compatible computers.    Parallel Port 	 : 	Used to connect peripherals such as scanner or printers.    USB Port 	 : 	Standard cable connection interface between computer and external device such                 Smart Computer Science Book-9                                   39
as, printer, external hard disk,              pendrive, mouse or keyboard.    VGA Port 	  : 	VGA (Video Graphics Array ) port                is used to connect the monitor.    Ethernet Port 	 : 	RJ-45 (Registered Jack-45 ) jack                       for internet connection.    Line out/in 	 :	 Used to connect a microphone or                       speaker.
