• Input Devices
The devices which are used to give data and instructions to
the computer are called Input Devices. Various types of input
devices can be used with the computer depending upon the
type of data you want to enter in the computer, e.g.,
keyboard, mouse, joystick, light pen, etc.
COLLEGE

• Keyboard
• Keyboard is the most common and very popular input device
which helps to input data to the computer. The layout of the
keyboard is like that of traditional typewriter, although there
are some additional keys provided for performing additional
functions.
• Keyboards are of two sizes 84 keys or 101/102 keys, but now
keyboards with 104 keys or 108 keys are also available for
Windows and Internet.
• Types of keyboard:
• Standard keyboard
• Multimedia keyboard
COLLEGE

• Mouse
Mouse is another input device which is commonly found
connected with the computers. It is basically a pointing device
which works on the principle of Point and Click. When the
mouse is moved on the mouse pad, a light beam underneath
reflect to give motion to the pointer on the screen.
COLLEGE

• The mouse is used in windows based programs, where the
user can run the commands by pointing the objects with the
help of pointer and clicking the buttons on the mouse.
• Most of the latest mouses, these days, include a wheel in the
middle of two buttons that help us to scroll through
documents more easily. we use our forefinger to move the
wheel to scroll up or down in a document. Optical mouse uses
red light to track the movement of mouse for moving the
pointer on the computer screen. This type of mouse is more
accurate and reliable than the traditional mouse.
• Nowadays cordless mouse is very popular. it dose not have
wires. it either uses Bluetooth technology to sends the data
through the air to a receiver, usually plugged in USB port of
the computer.
COLLEGE

Joystick and Game-pad
Joystick and game-pad are also input devices which are also
input devices which are used to control the movement of object
on the screen. Just like mouse, these are also pointing devices.
Mostly they are used for playing games on the computer.
The joystick has a vertical stick with a track ball at its bottom.
While playing the games on the computer, the user needs to
move the objects quickly on the screen. With the movement of
this vertical stick the objects can be moved in all the directions
easily.
•A game-pad is a type of game controller held in two hands,
where the fingers (especially thumbs)are used to provide input
by pressing buttons on it. It is also known as Control Pad.

output on the monitor or you can print it on a paper using a
printer. Monitor and the printer are the commonly used
output devices.
COLLEGE

• Monitor
• This is the most common output device connected with the
computer to display the processed information. It looks like a
TV and is also know as VDU(Visual Display Unit). Pictures are
displayed by using a large number of very small dots on screen
called pixels. The number of pixels that a monitor can show on
its screen is referred to as the resolution of the screen.

the CRT. You can hang them on walls or wear them on your wrists.
Current uses of flat-panel displays include calculators, video games,
monitors, laptop computer, and graphics display.
• The flat-panel display is divided into two categories −
• Emissive Displays − Emissive displays are devices that convert
electrical energy into light. For example, plasma panel and LED
(Light-Emitting Diodes).
• Non-Emissive Displays − Non-emissive displays use optical effects to
convert sunlight or light from some other source into graphics
patterns. For example, LCD (Liquid-Crystal Device).
COLLEGE

• Printer
This is an important output device of the computer system. It
gives a printed output of the results that appears on the
monitor screen. Printed output is also called Hard Copy output
because unlike monitor, this output can be preserved even if
the computer is switched off.
• There are two types of printers −
• Impact Printers
• Non-Impact Printers
COLLEGE

IMPACT PRINTER
Impact printers uses pins like objects or hammers that strike on the
inked ribbon and characters are formed on a paper.
Impact printer physically strike the paper.
Impact printers are slow and noisy printers.
The quality of impact printer measured in Dots per inch (DPI).
More the DPI means the better the printing quality.
Types: Dot- Matrix printer, Daisy wheel printer and Line printer
COLLEGE

NON-IMPACT PRINTER:
• Non-impact printers do not strike on the paper by pins like object to form
characters or images on the paper.
• They are used laser beam technology or bubble jet technology.
• They do not produce noise while printing.
• The printing quality of non-impact printer is good.
• These are costly printers.
• These printers can print high quality of photos.

and speed ranges from 200 to 2000 LPM(Lines Per Minute).
COLLEGE

• These are of two types −
• Drum Printer
• Chain Printer
COLLEGE

• Drum Printer
• This printer is like a drum in shape hence it is called drum printer.
The surface of the drum is divided into a number of tracks. Total
tracks are equal to the size of the paper, i.e. for a paper width of
132 characters, drum will have 132 tracks. A character set is
embossed on the track. Different character sets available in the
market are 48 character set, 64 and 96 characters set. One rotation
of drum prints one line. Drum printers are fast in speed and can
print 300 to 2000 lines per minute.
• Advantages
• Very high speed
• Disadvantages
• Very expensive
• Characters fonts cannot be changed
COLLEGE

• Chain Printer
• In this printer, a chain of character sets is used, hence it is
called Chain Printer. A standard character set may have 48,
64, or 96 characters.
• Advantages
• Character fonts can easily be changed.
• Different languages can be used with the same printer.
• Disadvantages
• Noisy
COLLEGE

• Non-impact Printers
• Non-impact printers print the characters without using the
ribbon. These printers print a complete page at a time, thus
they are also called as Page Printers.
• These printers are of two types −
• Laser Printers
• Inkjet Printers
• Characteristics of Non-impact Printers
• Faster than impact printers
• They are not noisy
• High quality

PLOTTER:
COLLEGE

PLOTTER A plotter is a computer printing device for printing vector graphics.
 In the past, plotters were widely used in applications such as
computer-aided designs, though they have generally been replaced
with wide-format conventional printers.
 And it is now common place to refer to such wide-format printers as
"plotters”.
 It is a special output device used to produce hardcopies of graphs
and designs on the paper.
 A plotter is typically used to print large-format graphs or maps such
as construction maps or engineering drawings.
Plotters are classified into following types:
• Drum Plotter
• Flatbed Plotter
• Inkjet Plotter
COLLEGE

• Drum Plotter
• A drum plotter is a pen plotter that wraps the paper around a
drum with a pin feed attachment. The drum then rotates the
paper as pens move across it and draw the image. It was the
first output device used to print graphics and large
engineering drawings. There are two types of drum plotters,
external and internal. With an external drum plotter, the
paper is wrapped around its external surface, while the
internal drum plotter uses a sheet of paper wrapped around
its internal surface.
COLLEGE

• Flat-Bed Plotter
• A flat-bed plotter is a mechanical drafting device used with
many CAD programs for designers. The paper remains
stationary on a flat surface while a pen moves across it
horizontally and vertically. This plotter may use several
different pen colors to create the graphics. The size of the
graphic is limited to the size of the flat-bed plotter's surface.
COLLEGE

• Inkjet Plotter
• The inkjet plotter creates an image by spraying small droplets
of ink on to paper. A popular choice for advertising agencies
and graphic designers, inkjet plotters are used generally for
large outputs, such as banners and billboards and large signs
often seen along roadsides. They are available in thermal or
piezoelectric models. Thermal inkjet plotters use heat to apply
droplets of ink, while piezoelectric plotters use charged
crystals to apply the ink. Inkjet plotters typically produce
better quality graphics than other plotter types.
COLLEGE

• Cutting Plotter
• The cutting plotter is a large scale cutting device that produces
ready-cut mylar or vinyl lettering and graphics. Automated
plotter knives cut into a sheet of the material lying on the
plotter's flat surface area, carving out the design stored in the
attached computer. Used for sign making, billboard
advertising and vehicle graphics, the devices offer far greater
speed and precision than can be achieved with the traditional
method of creating sign lettering and logos by hand.
