A PRESENTATION ON THE TOPIC

ON INPUT AND OUTPUT

DEVICES
 INPUT DEVICE
:-
An input device is a piece of computer
hardware equipment used to provide data
and control signals to an information
processing system such as computer or
information appliance.
Major input devices
:-
Some of the major input devices
are:-
 KEYBOARD
 MOUSE
 JOYSTICK
 OMR( OPTIC MARK
AL READER)
 LIGHT
POINT PEN
OF SCALE TERMINAL(POS
TERMINAL)
 BCR( BAR CODE READER)
 OCR (OPTICAL CHARACTER READER)
 MICR( MAGNETIC INK CHARACTER
READER)
KEYBOARD:
-

Keyboard is a flat piece of plastic board

many buttons arranged on it . These
buttons are called keys. The keyboard help
in inputting the data to the computer .
There are following functions keys on a
keyboard like F1 to F12 , numeric keys 0 to
9 and alphabet keys A to Z . It consists
caps lock key, num lock key ,shift key ,back
space key ,space bar key and enter key etc.
MOUSE :-

Mouse is a pointing device it consist three buttons.

Left button right button and scroll button . Left
button is used to select an object , right button is
used to excess the properties of an object and
scroll button is used to scrolling the page up and
down.
Mouse are basically used in desktop computer
system when placed on a fixed space than we use
mouse.
JOYSTICK:
-

Joystick is a pointing device most common

used to play animated games on a micro
computer. Joystick works on the same
principal as a trackball. Joysticks are often
used to control video games and usually have
one or more push buttons whose state can
also be read by the computer.
OPTICAL MARK
READER:-

Optical mark reader is a special optical scanner

device which can be used to recognise the type of
mark made by pencil or pen. This device is used as
academic and examination centres to grade aptitude
test. Where candidate mark the correct answers on a
special sheet of paper having multiple circles. These
answer sheets are the directly read by the optical
mark reader and the corresponding information is
 LIGHT
PEN:

Light pen is a pointing device that can be a used to

choose a displayed menu option or to draw picture
on the screen. It consist of a photocell and an optical
system placed in a small tube as the user moves tip
on the pen over the surface. It is able to detect the
light coming from a limited field of view. A light pen
is also useful for graphic , the user at computer
added design terminal can draw directly on the
POINT OF SCALE TERMINAL (POS
TERMINAL ):-

It is a higher version of the bar code reader , also

used in departmental stores. In this case, the
salesman move about, carrying with them a barcode
reader and a laptop computer. When a customer
wants to purchase something, the salesman with the
aid of the barcode reader and the laptop computer,
decodes the detailed information in printed on the
BCR (BAR CODE
READER):-

Various commodities available in the market have a

sequence of black and white lines of varying
thickness, closely placed together printed on the
cover . These lines which are known as barcodes .
Barcodes contains the various information about
the product, e.g. name of the product, manufacturing
date, producer name, expiry date, cost of production
OCR(OPTICAL CHARACTER
READER):-

Optical characterreader is a scann used to

optical
documents place under them by er examining
scan each
character present in the document and matching it
the character may be either typed or hand return. In
case of hand return characters special care has to be
taken to ensure that the characters are of standard
size , line making up the character are connected.
OCR devices are particularly used for large
volume application such as reading zip codes in postal
MICR(MAGNETIC INK
CHARACTER READER:-

It is popularly used in banks for verifying important

documents like drafts, cheques etc. At the bottom
side of such documents, a set of symbols are printed
with magnetized ink.
OUTPUT
DEVICES:-
An output device is any device used to send data
from a computer to another device or user . Most
computer data output that is meant for humans is in
the form of audio or video. They perform the
following function:-

 Receive result from memory

 Convert data into human readable form
 Display result to the user
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
OUTPUT DEVICE:-

MONITOR
PRINTER
IMPACT PRINTER
NON –IMPACT
PRINTER
SPEAKER AND
HEADSETS
PLOTTER
MULTIMEDIA
PROJECTER
MONITOR:-

The monitor is the most common and the most

important output device. It is also called a visual
display unit. The output viewed on a monitor is
called a soft copy. The monitor is a visual display
device to present output information in the form of
text, graphic, or video on the monitor screen.
PRINTERS:
-

Printers are used to produce hard copy output.

They print processing results on paper. Printers
are divided into two main categories:-

 Impact printer

 Non- impact printer

IMPACT
PRINTERS:-

The printer that print the character by striking

against the ribbon and into the paper is called
impact printer. There are two types of impact
printer.
Character
printer line
CHARACTER
PRINTER :-

These printer print one character at a time

is called character printer
. For example Dot
matrix printer.
They form character and all kind of image
as pattern
LINE
PRINTER:-

These printer print one line at a time. So it is called as

line printer. These printer use impact technology.
There is mechanical contact between head and a
paper . These are first printer having speed in the
range of 3000 lines per minutes.
NON – IMPACT
PRINTERS:-

Non impact printer that prints the character without

striking against the ribbon and on the paper is
called non impact printer. These printer print a
complete page at a time so also called page printer .
There are two types of non impact printer.
Inkjet
printer
laser
INKJET PRINTER:-
These printer
prints the characterby
spraying
paper withthe
charg electrically ink
ed .
quality
better They
character than give
printer.
They are
cheaper than laser
printer.
LASER
PRINTER:-
These are based on
laser technology with
high speed and high
quality printing .In
these printer a laser
beam is used to write
SPEAKER AND
HEADSETS:-

Speaker and head sets produce sound output. We

can listen recorded voices, sounds or music with
the help of speaker or headset. Speaker produce
sound output with the help of sound card.
PLOTTER:-

A plotter is an output device used to produce image

quality graphics in a variety of colors. Plotter are
used to print large maps, architectural drawings,
graphs and charts. Plotter are used o draw different
design of building or internal structure of machines.
Plotters offer the fastest way to efficiently produce
very large drawing or color high resolution graphics.
Engineers and architects use plotters.
DRUM PLOTTER:-

In drum plotter both

paper and drum move to
produce the output. The
plotter was the first
output device to print
graphic and large
engineering drawings.

FLATBED PLOTTER

In this plotter the paper is fixed and drum moves.

Flatbed plotters have a large horizontal surface on
which the paper is placed.
MULTIMEDIA
PROJECTOR:-

Multimedia projector is used to produce computer

output
a on
big screen. These are used or
classroom
in meeting of educational
rooms institutes.
Since the produced by multimediain
screen, itisdisplayed
projector can be viewedonby a large number
a large of
outpu
people in a hall, meeting /conference roomt or a
class room .Mostly teachers used data projector in
class room for delivering lectures.
