3. WHAT IS
PRINTER?
A printer is a device that
accepts text and graphic
output from a computer
and transfers the
information to paper,
usually to standard-size,
8.5" by 11" sheets of
paper. Printers vary in
size, speed,
sophistication and cost

4. HOW A PRINTER WORKS?
4
At the basic level, printers work by converting digital images and text into physical copies. They
do this using a driver or specialized software that has been designed to convert the file into a
language that the printer can understand. The image or text is then recreated on the page
using a series of minuscule dots. The only real difference between various types of printers is
the method by which the dots are transferred onto a page.
