 Printer

 



A printer is a peripheral machine which makes a persistent representation of graphics or text, usually on paper. While most output is human-readable, bar code printers are an example of an expanded use for printers. The different types of printers include 3D printer, inkjet printer laser printer, thermal printer

The first computer printer designed was a mechanically driven apparatus by Charles Babbage for his difference engine in the 19th century; however, his mechanical printer design was not built until 2000.

The first patented printing mechanism for applying a marking medium to a recording medium or more particularly, to an electrostatic inking apparatus and a method for electrostatically depositing in on controlled areas of a receiving medium was in 1962 by C.R Winston, Teletype, Corporation using continuous inkjet printing. The ink was a red stamp pad ink manufactured by Phillips Process Company of Rochester, NY under the name Clear Print. This patent (US3060429) led to the Teletype Inktronic Printer product delivered to customers in late 1966.

Software

 Software   Software is a collection of instructions and data that tell a computer how to work. This is in contrast to physical hardware, from which the system is built and actually performs the work. In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, including programs and data. Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media. Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own. At the   lowest programming level ,   executable code   consists of   machine language   instructions supported by an individual   processor —typically a   central processing unit   (CPU) or a   graphics processing unit   (GPU). A machine la...

  Computer  💻 A  computer  is a  machine  that can be programmed to carry out  sequences  of  arithmetic  or  logical operations  automatically. Modern computers can perform generic sets of operations known as  programs . These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. A  computer system  is a "complete" computer that includes the  hardware ,  operating system  (main  software ), and  peripheral  equipment needed and used for "full" operation. This term may also refer to a group of computers that are linked and function together, such as a  computer network  or  computer cluster . A broad range of industrial and consumer products use computers as control systems. Simple special-purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls are included, as are factory devices like industrial robots an...
