PRINTERS AND ITS TYPES
Printer
A printer is a device that accepts text and graphic as a input
from a computer and transfers the information to paper.

A non impact printer is a type of printer that
works by indirect contact with paper.

Laser Printer
A printer linked to a computer
producing good-quality printed
material by using a laser to
form a pattern of
electrostatically charged dots
on a light-sensitive drum,
which attract toner (or dry ink
powder). The toner is
transferred to a piece of paper
and fixed by a heating process.
How does it works
Ink jet Printer
Inkjet printers are machines
that spray microscopic
droplets of ink onto paper.
Inkjet printers are generally
cheaper, smaller, and can be
used to print both text
documents and high quality
colored images, especially
photos
Thermal Printer
A thermal printer is a printer that
makes use of heat in order to
produce the image on paper.
Thermal printing does not make use
of ink or toner unlike many other
printing forms but largely depends
on thermal papers for producing the
images. They are also quiet popular
in creating labels owing to speed of
printing.

 What is computer hardware?
Computer hardware includes the physical parts of
a computer, such as the case, central processing
unit (CPU), monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data
storage, graphics card, sound
card, speakers and motherboard.
Hardware is typically directed by the software to execute
any command or instruction. A combination of hardware and
software forms a usable computing system, although other
systems exist with only hardware.
Types of hardware
• Personal computer
•  keyboard
• Mouse
• Speaker
• CPU
• USB
Recent development in hardware
When using computer hardware, an upgrade
means adding new hardware to a computer that
improves its performance, adds capacity or new
features. For example, a user could perform a
hardware upgrade to replace the hard drive with
a SSD to get a boost in performance or increase
the amount of files that may be stored. Also, the
user could increase the RAM so the computer
may run more smoothly. The user could add a
USB 3.0 expansion card in order to fully use USB
3.0 devices. Performing such hardware upgrades
may be necessary for older computers to meet a
programs’ system requirements.
USB
First introduced in 1996, the USB standard was
developed by a number of American
companies, including IBM, Intel Corporation,
and Microsoft Corporation, as a simpler way of
connecting hardware to personal
computers (PCs). Before USB technology
a PC typically would have one or two serial
ports, a parallel port, mouse and keyboard
ports, and, in some cases, a joystick port. A
USB port represented a standardized way to
connect a wide range of devices while offering
significant advantages in speed over other
connection types.
Hard disk
• Hard disk, also called hard disk drive or hard
drive, magnetic storage medium for a computer.
Hard disks are flat circular plates made of aluminum
or glass and coated with a magnetic material. Hard
disks for personal computers can store terabytes
(trillions of bytes) of information.
The Computer Mouse Evolution
The first computer mouse was created
in 1963. It was designed by Douglas
Engelbart. Doug Engelbart reportedly
conceived the mouse during a
conference lecture in 1961. His first
design, in 1963, used rolling wheels
inspired by mechanical area-
measuring devices called planimeters
invented in the 1800s.
Ballpoint Mouse
The first ball-point computer mouse was
created in 1968 by Telefunken Rollkugel.
Instead of two wheels it used one small
ball. The working principle of this mouse
was the same as that of the mouse from
Douglas Engelbart, but it was much more
convenient to work with it. Such mice
were actively used until the 2000s, until
they were replaced by more convenient
optical and laser mice.
The optical computer mouse
An optical mouse is a computer
mouse which uses a light source,
typically a light-emitting diode (LED),
and a light detector, such as an array
of photodiodes, to detect movement
relative to a surface. It is an
alternative to the mechanical mouse,
which uses moving parts to sense
motion.The earliest optical mice
detected movement on pre-printed
mousepad surfaces.
The laser computer mouse
The laser computer mouse  is an advanced
version of the mouse optical. The principle
of their work is similar in many aspects.
The only difference is that the laser is not
used to illuminate the surface. This
refinement made the device
almost ideal: the device works
on any surface. It is more reliable
and consumes relatively little energy,
and the movements of the cursor
correspond to the actual movement of the
mouse. In addition, the laser mice are very
weak illumination.
Types of Monitor
 CRT MONITOR
CRT means “Cathode Ray Tube” CRT
monitors are much heavier in size as compared
to LCD and LED monitors. Due to being heavy,
they have much trouble while moving and
transporting from one place to another. Also,
they need more space for installation.
As they now disappeared from the
market quickly in the last few decades, because
display manufacturers switched their
production lines from CRT 4:3 displays to LCD
16:9 widescreen displays in order to survive the
transition to the digital world widescreen
television of LEDs or LCDs.
Plasma Monitor
The Plasma monitor panel (PDP) is made of
Plasma technology is another latest type of
computer monitor technology. Display of
plasma made with cells. These cells are filled
with ‘electrically charged Ionized Gas‘. Such
cells are called Plasma.
The basic idea behind its invention is that it
illuminates the tiny colored fluorescent lights
that create image pixels. Each pixel is made of
three fluorescent lights like a tiny neon
light- red, green, and blue lights. that produces
a superior contrast ratio, along with the
intensity of these lights also vary accordingly.
 OLED Monitor
OLED stands for “Organic Light Emitting Diode“. As the
name suggests, it is made of organic material (such as
carbon, plastic, wood, and polymers), that is used to
convert electric current into light.
This is also the latest display technology used in
displays of television, computer screen, game
consoles, PDAs, or even in the latest smartphones. It
can be thinner or lighter with a higher contrast
ratio than LCDs
Since these LEDs are capable enough to produce a lot
of different colored light, can be used directly to
produce the correct color and there is no need for any
backlight, which saves power also requires less space.
LED Monitor
LED’s full form is ‘Light Emitting Diode’ is the
latest innovation in the market today’s market
competing with LCDs and Plasma Monitors. These
types of monitors are slightly curved or flat panel
displays that use light-emitting diodes
for backlighting on the screen instead of cold
cathode fluorescent (CCFL) for back-lighting.
LED displays are more bright with 4k resolution
than other displays, due to which the user can be
read or seen easily in daylight time. LED monitors
use less power than LCDs as well as LEDs are
widely used by gamers for playing high graphics
and HD games.
