Printer
Printer is one of the most important
peripheral component of the computer.
The printers are evaluated on the basis of
the following factors:
- Printer Resolution:- It is measured in dots per
inch(dpi). It indicates the number of vertical
and horizontal dots that can be printed.
Higher the resolution better is the quality.
- The greater the number of dots per inch the
smoother the print.
http://www.slideshare.net/aaamul/printer-8823101
25
Printer-Evaluation
Speed : number of pages printed per minute
Paper Capacity: The number of pages that can be
accommodated in the paper tray. The different sizes of
pages that can be printed by the printer
Cost of Paper: It indicates the cost of any special paper
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
26
13
Classification of Printer
In general Printers can be classified in two broad
categories:
IMPACT PRINTERS
the physical force is applied to get an impression of the

character.
E.g. DOT-MATRIX printers
NON-IMPACT PRINTERS
physical force is NOT applied to get an impression of
character; instead either the IMAGE is transferred to paper
electro statically or ink is sprayed on to paper to form the
character.
E.g. INK-JET printers, LASER printers
27
Dot Matrix Printer (DMP)

Dot-Matrix printers strike the page
with small rods (called needles) that
protrude from the print head
DMPs can be characterized by
following 5 parameters.
- No of pins in print head.
- Characters per second (CPS)
- Characters per inch (CPI)
- Interface used [parallel / serial]
28
14
DMP( pin, char/s, char/inch )

No of pins in print head:

Images
A Scanner optically scans images,

printed text,
handwriting and converts it to a digital
image.
Specialized software aids in translating
information into a format the computer
can understand and manipulate.

Types of Scanners
Usually made of a glass pane, which is illuminated with a
bright light found underneath, and a moving optical CCD
array. (CCD: Charge- Couple Devices)
Images to be scanned are placed face down on the glass and
the sensor and light source move across the glass pane
reading the entire area.
A manual device that is dragged across the surface

of the image to be scanned.
Scanning difficult as this requires a steady hand,
to avoid uneven scanning rate that would produce
distorted images.

What is a Computer Network?

A computer network is a system for communicating
between two or more computers and associated devices. It
is an interconnection of computers for the purposes of
sharing information and resources.
A popular example of a computer network is the internet,
which allows millions of users to share information
Computer networks can be classified according to their
size:
Personal area network (PAN)
Local area network (LAN)
Wide area network (WAN)
43
Components of a Simple Computer Network
Illustrated here is a very simple computer network, consisting of

Input Devices
An input device is a piece of hardware that is used to
enter data into a computer.
There are many different kinds of input devices: manual
input devices and automatic input devices (see chapter 7) .
Input is all information put into a computer. Input can be
supplied from a variety of sources:
A person
A storage device on computer
Another computer
A peripheral device
Another piece of equipment, such as a musical instrument or
thermometer
64
32
Input Devices
Input devices gather and translate data into a form
the computer understands.
Primary input device:
Keyboard - Most common input device; used to type in
commands and data.
Mouse or trackball enhances users ability to input
commands, manipulate text, images.
Joystick useful in education as an adaptive or assistive
input device.

65
Keyboard
Most keyboards are called 'QWERTY' keyboards

34
Concept Keyboard
A concept keyboard is a flat board that contains
a grid of buttons. Each button can be
programmed to do whatever you want.
An overlay sheet with pictures or symbols is
placed on the grid
Concept keyboards are used when fast input is
needed and are ideally suited to selecting from a
limited range of choices
Checkout tills such as McDonalds use symbols
to make ordering faster and easier.
Primary schools often use them with young
children.

35
Common pointing devices

Mouse (Pointing Device)

Everyone is familiar with a
computer mouse; along with the
keyboard, it is one of the most
common input devices
72
36
Touchpad
A touchpad is an input device which is
usually found on a laptop computer.
By dragging your finger over the
surface of the touchpad, sensors
underneath detect the movement
direction and speed. The sensors only
react to a fingertip and not a pencil or
other object.
There are usually two buttons next to
the touchpad which are used to replace
the left and right mouse button.
73
Joystick
Joysticks were originally used by
pilots as part of an aeroplane's
controls
the technology was developed to let
computer gamers experience a more
realistic game environment.
Joysticks can also be used for
controlling machines such as cranes,
trucks and powered wheelchairs.
74
37
Touch Screen
A touch screen works as both an input and

an output device.
The user views the options available on
the screen (output) and then uses the
finger to touch the option he has chosen
(input).
Touch screens work particularly well with
a menu driven interface. For example, a
cashpoint (ATM) at a bank
75
Digital Camera
Digital Cameras are peripheral input

devices that allow users to create pictures
and/or movies in a digital format.
Some require specialized
software to import images
into the computer.
Some record digital images directly to a disk
that can be read by the computer.

76
38
Digital Camera
A digital camera records images
electronically on a memory card rather
than on film as did the older models of
camera.
The images can be downloaded from the
memory card onto a computer and then
printed, stored or manipulated with a
photo editing application.
The quality of the image is dependent
on the resolution or the number of pixels.
Most digital cameras range from 4 - 12
Megapixels (millions of pixels in the
image). The more pixels, the better the
quality and clarity of the image.
77
Graphics Tablet
Graphics tablets are often used by
graphics designers and illustrators.
Using a graphics tablet, a designer
can produce much more accurate
drawings on the screen than they
could with a mouse or other
pointing device.
A graphics tablet consists of a flat
pad (the tablet) on which you draw
with a special pen. As you draw on
the pad, the image is created on the
screen.
78
39
Microphone
A microphone can be used to input
sound.
The sound is detected by the
microphone and an electrical signal is
transmitted to the computer. Special
hardware is used to convert this
analogue data into digital data so it can
be stored and manipulated.
In the last few years a number of
voice recognition systems have been
developed. They let the user dictate the
text into a computer and then convert
the speech to text.
Dictating like this can be much
quicker than typing but the software
isn't perfect and it can interpret a word
incorrectly.
79
Track Ball
A finger is used to rotate a ball. This

moves a pointer on the screen.
It is a pointing device consisting of a
ball housed in a socket containing
sensors to detect rotation of the ball

Magnetic Ink Character Recognition

Each day, banks process millions of
cheques.
It would take them far too long to manually
enter the data from each cheque. They use a
technique called 'Magnetic Ink Character
Recognition' (MICR) which enables them to
process 300 cheques per minute with 100%
accuracy.
84
42
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition

At the bottom of each cheque are a series of
numbers which record:
the cheque number
the bank or building society sort code
the customer's account number
These numbers are written in a special ink which
contains iron particles. This ink is magnetized
and commonly called 'magnetic ink'. It can be
read by a special machine called a Magnetic Ink
Character reader.
85
Magnetic Inc Character Recognition

86
43
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
An OCR system consists of a normal scanner and some

special software. The scanner is used to scan text on a
document or piece of paper into the computer. The OCR
software then examines the page and changes the letters into a
form that can be edited or processed by a normal word
processing package.
87
Optical Character Recognition

The ability to scan the characters accurately depends
on how clear the writing is.
Scanners have been improved to be able to read
different styles and sizes of text as well as neat
Although they are often up to 95% accurate, any text
scanned with OCR needs careful checking because
some letters can be misread.

Capturing Data initially in digital form

Barcode Reader
Most items that are for sale in shops have a
barcode printed somewhere on the
packaging.
The barcode is a series of vertical bars of
varying widths that give information about:
the country of manufacture
the name of the manufacturer
a product code
The barcode does NOT contain the price of

the item - this is held on the company
database.
92
46
Barcode Reader
A barcode reader is an automatic input
device which is used to scan or 'read' the
barcode by using a visible red light. The
reflected light is translated into digital data
that is interpreted by the computer to identify
the product and price from the database.
The main advantage of using a barcode
system is that any price change only needs to
be made to the database and not every single
product package.
Barcodes are also used on books to show the
book's ISBN number
93
Magnetic Stripe Reader

Magnetic strips are usually found of the
back of most credit cards, loyalty cards,
membership
cards
etc.
The magnetic stripe can hold personal
details about the card number such as
account number and name. The stripe can
contain up to 60 characters, stored
magnetically.
To read the data on the card, it is 'swiped'
through a Magnetic Stripe Reader machine
and the data is read and fed back to the
computer.
94
47
Biometric Devices
There is an increasing trend towards using
biometric data from people in order to identify
them :
- finger print
- retinal identification
- facial recognition
Special devices are needed to capture the
biometric data which is then passed onto the
computer for processing and identification.
Biometric authentification methods can be
used to identify you at ATMs to withdraw cash,
in computer networks to allow you to log on

Biometric readers

Sensors
Sensors are used to detect physical quantities
outside a computer such as light, temperature
and pressure.
They collect data automatically and usually at
regular intervals. This data can either be
transmitted immediately to the computer or can
be stored for a period of time.
In order to process input from sensors, a device
called an 'Analogue to Digital Converter'
(ADC) must be connected between the
computer and the sensor. This device converts
the analogue signals from the sensors to digital
data that the computer can process.

What is RFID
(Radio Frequency IDentification)
RFID is an automatic data collection technology

that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data
between a reader and a movable item to identify,
categorize, track...
RFID is fast, reliable, and does not require
physical sight or contact between reader/scanner
and the tagged item
1950

During WW2 the British

Army is using a precursor
of RFID technology for
detecting friend or enemy
in fighter aircraft
Today
RFID technology is
getting cheaper (tag <0.30
). Standardizing efforts.
Mass production causes

Advantages and disadvantages of RFID

systems
Advantages (especially compared to barcodes):
small, rugged data carrier
insensitive to contamination
long lifetime of the data carrier, partly re-usable
high accuracy,
automatic and fast data acquisition, even with moving objects
collection of information through non-conductive materials without visual contact

possible
Disadvantages:
the high costs for labels (about 25 cents) and accordingly to read / write devices
electromagnetic waves of RFID tags will be deflected by metal cans or metal carts (errors
while reading!)
privacy concerns ( "glass customer")

http://scoop.it
Jefferson County Public

Library, Denver, US
NBD/Biblion, the Netherlands
NLB Singapore
In the Netherlands the largest

distributor of books to library
NBD/Biblion decided to
equip every book delivered to
libraries with a NXP ICODE
RFID label. Around 100
libraries in the Netherlands
have RFID tags on their entire
collections and more are
switching over to it.
NLB Singapore is the largest

RFID library installation worldwide.
It is using more than 10 Million
NXP ICODE products for the
entire media collection.

Based in Denver, Colorado,

Jefferson public library uses 1,2
million custom printed RFID
book tags, 75,000 custom
CD/DVD RFID labels, all based
on ICODE.
It is just one of many examples
of American libraries using NXP
ICOD like Princeton, NY,
Oakland, CA, and Lexington,
KY.
Animal ID
Consumers long for healthy-safe and well tasting
meat. Consumers perceive these attributes to be
clearly linked to healthy animals that received
individual treatment ensuring animal welfare.
It is the knowledge about each individual animal
which is only enabled by RFID tags. The tags are
used to collect the animals curriculum vitae.
RFID also enables individual animal treatment
starting at the breeding facility.
By use of RFID, diseases can be reduced to a
minimum and new high value brands of meat can
be brought into the market.

Animal ID Success stories
http://earthtimes.org
The Canadian Cattle

Identification Organization
realized that RFID was the
only viable candidate for
automated tracking schemes
involving millions of animals
in a complex value chain.
CCIA made RFID tracking
for cattle mandatory. NXP
HITAG S with FDX
technology is used in the
Canadian cattle market.
USDA is implementing the

Animal Identification Plan,
which recommends tagging
of U.S. cattle using RFID
tags. NXP HITAG is already
in use in the early adopters
implementations.
Recent rollout at a pigs

breeding farm in east
Germany generates direct ROI
for the farm through reduced
failure rates and reduced labor
cost. Data collection was
transferred from
handwriting to a completely
automated system using RFID
and WLAN. The 6000 sows at
the farm give birth to 130 000
piglets per year. All sows are
equipped with electronic ear
tags based on HITAG S.

What is the Near Field Communication (NFC)

NFC is the short range and secure wireless
technology that makes connectivity for
personal communication and portable
devices really easy.
Simply touch two NFC-enabled devices
together and they connect. Establishing a
wireless link between devices or enabling
end-to-end global transactions. Making a
ticket payment or reading smart labels.
