The document discusses input and output devices used in computing. It describes common input devices like the keyboard, mouse, scanner, digital camera, and webcam that allow data and instructions to enter the computer. Output devices covered include the monitor for visual output, printers for hard copies, and speakers for audio output. The document provides details on how different types of printers and projectors work to display output.
3. Input Devices
The data and instruction given to the computer is
known as input. A hardware component used to enter
data and instructions into computer is called input
device.

• The arrangement of keys on a keyboard is called
keyboard layout.
• Numeric keys: letters n Numbers
• Punctuation keys: comma, period, semicolon
and so on….
• Function Key : F1 to F12 perform different
function. 3/9/2020Gulab Devi Educational Complex Lahore

just like mouse buttons.
16. Scanner
Scanner reads data or
information form a
source. This source
could be a written
documents , a price tag,
a graphic image or a
photograph.
A Scanning device reads
the data or information
from hardcopy and then
converts it into soft copy. 3/9/2020Gulab Devi Educational Complex Lahore

17. Input Devices
Flatbed scanners is the most
commonly used scanner. It is also
called image scanner. It input one
page at a time. It works like a
photocopy machine. The image to
be scanned is placed on a glass
surface and the scanner records
the images .it is generally used at
home and office to scan photos,
book pages and other documents3/9/2020Gulab Devi Educational Complex Lahore

18. Scanner
Sheetfed Scanner
• Sheetfed scanners work
similarly to a flatbed scanner
but document are inserted
on the top of the scanner
like a fax machine. This
design reduce the scanner
cost and the amount of
required space. It also
enables automatic sheet
feeding. 3/9/2020Gulab Devi Educational Complex Lahore

19. Input Devices
Handheld scanners
Handheld scanners is a portable
scanner. It typically can scan only
2 to 5 inches at a time . Handheld

28. Monitor
A monitor is an electronic visual
computer display that includes a
screen, circuitry and the case in which
that circuitry is enclosed.
Older computer monitors made use of
Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT), which
made them large, heavy and
inefficient.
Nowadays, flat-screen Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) monitors are used in
devices like laptops, PDAs and3/9/2020Gulab Devi Educational Complex Lahore

33. The dot-matrix printer uses print
heads containing from 9 to 24
pins. These pins produce
patterns of dots on the paper to
form the individual characters.

36. Plotters and Large-Format
Printers Plotters
are sophisticated printers used to produce high-
quality drawings such as blueprints, maps, and
circuit diagrams. These printers are used in
specialized fields such as engineering and drafting
and usually are very costly. Using ink-jet printer
technology, but on a much larger scale, a large-
format printer creates photo-realistic-quality color
prints.
39. Speaker

44. Softcopy & Hardcopy
Softcopy is data that is shown on a display
screen or is in audio or voice form; it exists
only electronically. This kind of output is not
tangible; it cannot be touched. Soft is also used to
describe things that are easily changed or
impermanent.
Hardcopy is printed output. The principal
examples are printouts, whether text or graphics,
from printers.
