Output Mediums

Laser Printer

Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics by passing a laser beam over a charged drum to define a differentially charged image. The drum then selectively collects charged toner and transfers the image to paper, which is then heated to permanently fix the image. As with digital photocopiers and multifunction printers , laser printers give out a xerographic printing process, but differ from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of the medium across the printer's photoreceptor. Therefore, it proves to be a much faster process compared to the analog photocopiers.

Monitor

The functions of a computer monitor are to display the output images.

The monitor or screen is a visual display unit, often called simply a monitor or display, is a piece of electrical equipment which displays images generated from the video output of devices such as computers, without producing permanent record.

The function of a computer monitor is to show the display what work you are performing on PC through any input device.Monitor is an output device.
A monitor can be a display device used with a computer. A monitor can also mean a software tool designed to supervise something.

 

Plotter



A plotter is a printer that interprets commands from a computer to make line drawings on paper with one or more automated pens. Unlike a regular printer , the plotter can draw continuous point-to-point lines directly from vector graphics files or commands. There are a number of different types of plotters: a drum plotter draws on paper wrapped around a drum which turns to produce one direction of the plot, while the pens move to provide the other direction.

Plotters were the first type of printer that could print with color and render graphics and full-size engineering drawings. As a rule, plotters are much more expensive than printers. They are most frequently used for CAE (computer-aided engineering) applications, such as CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing). Hewlett-Packard is the leading vendor of plotters worldwide.

Vinyl Cutter

A vinyl cutter is a device that is used to cut vinyl or other material into shapes. The device is about the size of a desktop printer. Some machines are connected to a computer with a cable. Others use cartridges to determine the graphic design that is to be cut by the machine.


The machine uses the information that it gathers from either a cartridge or a computer to cut a specific design from vinyl or other material. It functions similarly to a printer in that it moves along the material to be cut, making small incisions in the material. Once the material is removed from the vinyl cutter, the design may be removed from the material sheet. This design may be used for scrap booking card making, sign making, sewing, or many other crafts.

 

 

 

Dot Matrix

 

A dot matrix printer create characters on paper by striking an inked ribbon with a hard surface. Unlike typewriters, which use a similar mechanism, dot matrix printers do not have fixed character shapes or fonts. Instead, each individual character is formed by the arrangement of a series of pins. This allows dot matrix printers to be used for basic graphical printing and multiple fonts as well as basic text printing  but it gives the printout a characteristic dotted appearance.

Dot matrix printouts often produce lower-quality text that can be difficult to read. In addition, dot matrix printers generally are noisier than inkjet or laser models

Speakers

 

Speakers are one of the most common output devices used with computer systems. Some speakers are designed to work specifically with computers, while others can be hooked up to any type of sound system. Regardless of their design, the purpose of speakers is to produce audio output that can be heard by the listener.

 

 

 

Mobile Phone

 

 

 

A mobile phone is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.

In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.
