 Recap

What is a memory?
Memory is a space to store computer’s data.

Types of memory
1. Primary Memory
2. Secondary Memory

CM105.6TO7 3
 Prerequisite

What are input and output devices?

Computer accepts data through an input

device

Results are showed or displayed on the

output device.

CM105.6TO7 4
 INPUT DEVICES

 Keyboard
 Mouse
 Light pen
 Magnetic tape
 Hard and Floppy disk
 Scanner
 CD-ROM

CM105.6TO7 5
 Keyboard

 It is an input device

 It is used to enter data into a computer.

 It is similar to a type writer.

 It contains number of keys.

 Most keyboards have 101/104 keys.

CM105.6TO7 6
 Mouse

 It is an input device

 It is a pointing device.

 Used to select and move items on your

screen.

 Click to select an icon, and double click to

open it.

CM105.6TO7 9
 Output Device

 A device used to display the results.

 Output device converts data from binary form to

human readable form.

 Output device can display, print or plot the

processed data.

CM105.6TO7 10
 Output devices

 Monitor or Screen or VDU

 Printer

 Plotter

 Speaker

CM105.6TO7 11
 Monitor

 The monitor looks like a TV screen.

 Monitors available in 14”, 15”, 17” and even

21”.

CM105.6TO7 12
 Monitors are categorized into

 CRT

 Flat –Panel displays

CM105.6TO7 13
 CRT monitor

 CRT means Cathode Ray Tube

 It works with one or more electron guns that

systematically aim a beam of electrons at every
pixel on the screen.

CM105.6TO7 14
 Flat-Panel monitor

 The most commonly used flat-panel monitor is

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display).

 It creates images with a special kind of liquid

crystal that is normally transparent but becomes
opaque when charged with electricity.

CM105.6TO7 16
 Printer

 Another important output device is the printer.

 Types of Printers
1. Impact printers

2. Non-Impact printers

CM105.6TO7 17
 Impact Printer
 It creates an image on paper by striking on the
inked ribbon, and prints a character.
 It works like a typewriter, which uses small
hammers to strike the ribbon.

 Example: dot matrix printer.

CM105.6TO7 18
 Dot matrix printer

 It is a common type of impact printer.

 It uses a print head, which contains a cluster

of pins.

CM105.6TO7 19
 Dot matrix printer (contd...)

 The printer can push the pins out to form

patterns in rapid sequence.

 The pins are used to press an inked ribbon

against paper, thus creating an image.

CM105.6TO7 21
 Non Impact Printer

 Non impact use various methods to place ink

(or another colored substance) on the page.

 Example :Ink jet printers use tiny nozzles to

spray droplets of ink onto the page.

CM105.6TO7 22
 Inkjet printer

 An ink jet printer is an example of non-impact

printer.

 It creates an image by spraying tiny droplets of

ink onto the paper.

 Ink jet printers are inexpensive.

CM105.6TO7 24
 Laser Printer

 It is a non-impact and letter quality printer.

 It produce higher quality print and is fast

and convenient to use

 It is more expensive than ink jet printer.

CM105.6TO7 25
 Laser Printer (contd)

 They use heat and pressure to bind tiny particles

of toner (a dry ink) to paper.

 Laser printers are available in both color and

black & white.
