In chapter 7 I learnt about different models and types of printers and scanners and how they work. For example, som types of printers and scanners are daisy wheel, dot matrix, laser, inkjet, all-in-one, flatbed, and handheld. I have also learnt about cartridges and what colours typically come with them – cyan, magenta, yellow and black (shortened to CMYK. The K stands for Key Black, not just Black). The Laser Printer works by a laser hitting the drum many times per second, and then it is fused onto the paper. I learnt that a printer gets extremely hot while in use so you should never attempt to repair it yourself; get a printer engineer. Another thing that I learnt during this chapter was what quality of a printis measured in (dpi, or dots per inch), and what printing speed is measured in (ppm, or pages per minute). A laser printer can print from 8 – 200 pages per minute, while an inkjet printer can print 2 – 6 pages per minute. 
I have done a blog post on the steps I took on how to install a printer, different interface speeds, and the Lexmark x3350, which is a make of printer.
While I was studying for this chapter, I felt ok, but I didn’t feel that it was interesting as the previous chapters that I have worked on. My favourite chapter so far is probably Chapter 3, because it was all about how everything fitted together and what everything’s jobs were, and I prefer to be hands on. The practical of installing a printer was quite fun, and I remember most of that, and also I didn’t know how to screenshot before that. I think that doing blog posts is a lot more interesting than reading and copying off of the curriculum and the chapter 7 powerpoint.
Overall, I think that I have taken in quite a lot of this chapter, and am hoping to get a fairly high score on the next assessment. I have found this chapter fairly interesting, although as I have said before not as interesting as previous chapters.
I think that the main points in this chapter are how to install a printer, the main types of printer, how a printer works, how a scanner works, main types of scanner, and what to do if they stop working.
I would rate this chapter 7 out of ten, because, although not the most interesting chapter, I can remember most of what I have done. In Chapter 8, I think that I could improve by revising more frequently, testing myself on parts of the chapter that I am not so confident on, and taking the Chapter 8 quiz.
