A keyboard is a device that converts keystrokes into codes that can be electronically manipulated by the computer. A personal computer keyboard includes a typewriter layout and a set of keys marked with arrows that control the movement of a visual aid—a cursor—on the display screen. Keyboards include a numeric keypad for number-intensive data entry and calculations as well as a set of function keys. Keyboards are not the only way to communicate with a computer. Touching the screen with your finger, talking to a computer, writing with an electronic pen, and rolling a mouse or trackball are all alternative input devices.
A mouse is a pointing device that combines the traditional cursor movements—accomplished by pressing arrow keys—with the means to select an object on the display screen. Buttons located on the top of the mouse enable you to choose options. Rolling the trackball with your fingertips produces the same results as moving the mouse.
A display, often called a monitor, is one of the output parts of the system. A display is a device that is used (1) to give you feedback while you operate the computer and (2) to view the computer's output. For example, when you type on the keyboard, the letters are immediately displayed along with the cursor that indicates where the next letter you type will appear.
The popular displaуs are CRTs (cathode ray tube), LCDs (liquid crystal displays), and plasma display panels. It is necessary to not that CRTs are being replaced by LCDs.
A printer is a device that produces paper-copy output from a computer system. Printers accept continuous-form paper and single sheets, such as letterhead.
. One way to classify printers is by the method used to form the printed images. Dot-matrix printers form characters with a pattern of dots. This method can include striking a ribbon with a hammer, spraying ink with a nozzle, or transferring the pattern with heat or a laser. The quality of the output from such printers ranges from a very rough and highly visible grainy pattern of dots to an extremely fine high-resolution pattern. The former is quite adequate for printing drafts of documents; the latter is more desirable for printing graphic images.
Laser printers create images with a laser beam scanning across an electrically charged drum. As in a copier, toner or ink with an opposite charge sticks to the drum and is then transferred to paper by pressure and heat to create the finished image. Laser printers offer higher speed and quality than conventional printers. They can mix type styles and sizes as well as graphic images on the same page.
Printers for personal computers are connected to the computer by a cable through a port—the location through which the computer exchanges information with an external device. A port has a physical connector and an address, so that programs know where to send information. The two basic types of ports are serial and parallel.
