Determining Specialized
Output Devices
Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the (Internet and Computing Fundamentals I) Self-Learning

Module on (Determining specialized output devices)!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through Mayor, Honorable
Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing
this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

LESSON

Lesson 2: SPECIALIZED OUTPUT DEVICES

Definition:
A specialized output device is an output device that is adapted for a particular
purpose, such as used by a person who is disabled.

These devices include, for example, upgraded computer speakers for

enhanced sound quality, screen quality, or print quality. While a blind person
 might want to ensure he or she has a high-quality microphone to ensure highly
efficient voice recognition (input device), he or she would probably not be as
concerned about hearing the voice synthesizer/ text reader in surround sound
(output device).

These are used much less frequently than specialized input devices. This is
because these devices are not required for basic computer feedback; rather, they are
usually to optimize the user experience above and beyond what the computer can
provide upon purchase.

Types of Specialized Output Devices

1. Control Device / Robots

This is the study and use of robot systems for

manufacturing. Factories started robots within the
early Nineteen Sixties (1960s) to handle a number of the
additional dangerous or mundane tasks that humans
didn’t need to try and do. However, they did overfill
unwanted plant jobs; they completed the work with new
/2OKm5Ta speed and exactitude.
Today, robots perform every kind of tasks and might be classified in step with
completely different criteria such as:
 Type of movement
 Application
 Architecture
 Brand
 Ability to be cooperative

2. Fax Machines & Fax Modems

This permits a pc to transmit and receive documents as

faxes on a telephone line. A fax electronic equipment is sort
of a data modem, however, is intended to transmit and
receive documents to and from a fax machine or fax
electronic equipment. Some, however not all, fax modems
.ly/2OEnkmO
do double duty as knowledge modem. Like different
modems, fax modems may be internal or external. Internal fax modems
are typically known as fax boards.

 3. Label and Postage Printer

This specialized output device is a computer printer that

prints on self-adhesive label material and/or card-
stock (tags). A label printer with a built-in keyboard and
display which are not connected to a separate computer
for stand-alone use is often called a label maker. Label
printers are dissimilar from ordinary printers because
bit.ly/2ZMaqcT they need to have different feed mechanisms to handle
rolled stock, or rip sheet (fanfold) stock. Label printers are widely utilized in
different types of labelling and marking applications in supermarkets,
factories, hospitals, and offices.

Types of Label printers

Label printer capabilities differ between home, corporate and industrial-

oriented models.
 Desktop label printers
 Commercial label printers
 Industrial label printers
 RFID readers
 Label printer applicators
 Labeling software
 Personal label printers or label makers

4. Multifunction Printers
An MFP (multifunction printer) also called as MFD
(multi-function device) is an office machine which
includes the functionality of multiple devices in one, so
as to have a reduced footprint in a home or small
business setting or to offer unified document production
in a large-office setting. A typical MFP may turn as a
https://bit.ly/3fLl2hG combination of some or all of the following devices such
as email, fax, photocopier, printer, and scanner.
Types of Multifunction Printers

 All-in-one
 SOHO MFP
 Office MFP
 Production printing MFP
 5. Wide-format printer

Wide-format printers (large format printers) are

printing machines that print on a large paper which can
range up to more than 15 feet. Printers with volumes
over 15 feet wide are considered super wide or grand
format. When printing a variety of products such as
t.ly/3eOxrzS banners, posters, other graphic designs, and electronic
circuit schematics, architectural drawings, construction plans, backgrounds
for theatrical and media sets, and any other large format creation or signage,
wide-format printers are necessary.
Wide-format printers can be characterized by the type of ink transfer process
they use. The following are:
 Aqueous
 Solvent
 Dye sublimation
 UV
 Pen/plotter

6. Mobile Printer

There are many useful and

exceptional portable photo printers offered that can be
used easily and often, wirelessly with a computer or
smartphone. They often come with a decent software that
you can use to edit and modify your photos. The most
compact of these printers do not print more than a 4-by-
.ly/3fMy4LD 6-inch photo paper.
