devices) and their uses with examples.
• Q2. Explain what are Magnetic storage media and Optical
storage media Give examples of each type and explain
their uses.
• Q3. What are the different advantages and disadvantages
of using laser printers rather than inkjet printers?
Q1. Explain Direct Data Entry (DDE) devices (at
least three devices) and their uses with examples.
• Direct data entry devices are specific purpose
devices designed to automate or speed up the Barcode reader
entry of data in to the system by minimizing
human data entry.
• Examples:
• Barcode reader: used to scan identification
codes directly from products, books and Optical character Reader
membership cards.
• Optical character Reader (OCR): used to
transfer handwritten or printed text into
editable text on a computer.
• Magnetic Ink Character Reader (MICR): used to
input data from bank cheques.

Q2. Explain what are Magnetic storage media and
Optical storage media Give examples of each type and
explain their uses.
• Magnetic storage media depend on the magnetic
properties of certain materials (iron and nickel
alloys being the most common)
• Examples: Fixed/internal hard disk drive
• Fixed/internal hard disk drive : To store the
operating system , system software and working
data/files.
• Magnetic tapes: Used to backup media since all
data needs to be stored.
• Portable hard disk drives: They can be used as
backup systems to prevent loss of data. Magnetic tapes Portable hard disk drives
Optical storage media
• Optical storage provides greater memory
capacity than magnetic storage because
laser beams can be controlled and focused
much more precisely than can tiny magnetic
heads, thereby enabling the condensation
of data into a much smaller space.
• Examples: CD and DVD rom CD-R and DVD-R
• CD and DVD rom: CD rom are used to store
music files software computer games and
reference software.
• CD-R and DVD-R: Home recording of music
(CD-R) and films (DVD-R).
• CD-RW and DVD-RW: Used in CCTV system.
