Solid Ink Printer:

This printer is called the Phaser and it is a solid ink printer Xerox make these types of printers because they give you the best colours picture.

These are the main functions of the newest and best phaser out at the moment:

One of the more important aspects of the acquisition of the Tektronix divisions is that Xerox decided to keep the Tektronix staff and support services, as Tektronix is a well known name for high-performance and high-quality printers. This was a very important move for Xerox since Tektronix had a very good marketing campaign, attending all major tradeshows and excellent customer service.

Thermal Printer:

This is a printer that produces characters by applying heat to special paper that is sensitive to heat. A printer that uses heat to duplicate images. Specific heat-sensitive paper is necessary, and copies can fade over time. Uses heat from a printhead to darken letters and images to thermal paper which comes in rolls. A thermal printer uses special, chemically treated label stock that changes colors when heated.

These are main functions of a thermal printer:

Printer that prints by heating spots on the paper with an array of tiny, fast-acting heating elements. Thermal printers are among the least expensive printers, are relatively quiet, and are often used on calculators and very-low-priced computers. However, they require special paper that may discolor with age. See also Daisy-Wheel Printer; Dot-Matrix Printer.

Ink Jet Printer:

In the real world, a printer outputting at a mere 600 dots per inch may well produce better prints than one outputting 2,400 dots per inch (dpi). The reason is that there are many other elements at work, such as how accurately the software that controls the printer, known as a driver, can manage the printer.

Functions:

A device for the printing of documents which that operates by propelling tiny droplets of liquid ink onto paper.

Ink jet printer is a printer that uses a small liquid ink cartridge to print. These cartridges can be refilled.

A type of printer that sprays dots of ink onto paper to create an image. Inkjet printers are normally inexpensive. Better-quality inkjet printers can attain near photo quality output.

A popular tool of scrapbookers and paper crafters for printing photographs, clipart, journaling, and other images for use on layouts, etc. The inks are not always waterproof or suitable for archival pieces.

Inkjet printers are inexpensive to buy but cost alot to maintain. Inkjet printers though are easy to maintenance because most of the electrics are in the cartridge. Inkjets are cheap to but cost alot of money to run.

Dot-Matrix Printer:

Is a type of computer printer with a print head that runs back and forth, or in an up and down motion, on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper. The dot matrix is more durable than most printers and can endure the heat of the work place.

A type of printer that prints by driving a set of pins onto an inked ribbon, pressing small portions of the ribbon against the paper so dots of ink appear on the paper. The dots are close together and appear to be letters or graphic shapes.

Step One:

First you must plug the Power cord into your power supply ( should be a Plug on the wall ).

Step Five:

Then tell the computer to RUN ( by clicking the little Run button ).

Step Six:

Now follow these steps.

Step 7:

Then link the USB cable to both the desktop and printer.

Step 8: And this will come up.

Step 9: And if you and paper the printer it will make a test page.

INTRODUCTION:     Well I am starting  by talking about the evolution of  laptops they started making laptops in the 1970′s but the first one actually came out in the 1979, this laptop was used by NASA in the 1980 for the Space Shuttle Project.

On the date 1988 the laptop got more advanced it had a lot more that you could use on it like better graphics and a bigger, and it was called Compaq and it cost $5399.

2006 Onward most of the laptop has wireless internet connection, plus long lasting battery and comparable desktop performance.

Desktops are a thing of the past because laptops are advancing very quickly and all the things a desktop could do the laptop now could do it better and the laptops more mobile.

LAPTOPS/PORTABLE OBJECTS:   Here are some types of portable devices: Notebooks, laptops, and tablets are types of portable computers.

Laptops used to be big chunky metal boxes which weighed a ton but laptops are very popular now because cost less and they are more mobile, many laptops can have add ons like Fire Wire, infra-red port and a integrated camera.

There are even smaller portable devices like a Smart Phone and PDA’s, the PDA can offer a lot of games fun applications a example of a PDA would be something like iPod and they can run of the same software as a laptop does, a Smartphone is a mobile phone that can do some of the stuff a PDA but can as as a phone as well.

COMMON USES:     Some Common uses of Laptops are that they are portable have internet connection and can use word processing devices. Smartphone’s and PDA’s are able to fifty in to your pocket, they can install little games (application’s ) and can same messages.

These some more common uses for Laptop’s   

 Taking notes in school or researching papers                            

 Presenting information in business meetings                             

 Accessing data away from home or the office                         

Playing games while traveling                                            

Watching movies while traveling                                        

 Accessing the Internet in a public place                       

Sending and receiving e-mail in a public place

 Here are some more common uses of PDA’s

Address book Calculator                                                                                     

Alarm clock Internet                                                                                                                    

 E-mail                                                                                                     

Global positioning
.
And here are some uses of a Smartphone

Built-in camera

Abbreviated note-taking

LAPTOP VS. DESKTOP:      I know everybody thinks that laptops and desktops are very alike but they are wrong because desktops use very standard components like a CD Drive and a DVD Drive. But the laptop uses more specialised components like motherboards that only fit this type of laptops and they are very limited on what you can use to repair your laptop.

The motherboard are very different to each other because there completely different shapes because the laptop has to fit in all the add ons like DVD drive and CD drive so the motherboard is not a square shape it’s made to fit the type of laptop, but a desktop has plenty of  room so it can have one section where the motherboard is and there is no tight squeeze.

They both have RAM, Expansion slots and Motherboards but they all look different than each other.

The processors in both a desktop can a laptop have different needs to work so the laptop needs more on the CPU usage to take of the load but this lowers the performance but the desktops no better because the processor needs a cooling fan which take up a lot of space in the motherboard area.

POWER: A desktop is usually near a plug socket that is always plugged in so the desktop can turn on but when the desktop is off there is a battery that keep the BIOS and the internal clock from dying and losing some data.         But the laptop has a large battery which when plugged in recharges but when it’s unplugged it still works because the system power takes the electricity from the battery and powers the components.

EXPANSION/ADD ON’S:      Both laptops and desktops use them but in different ways, for example a laptop was a keyboard integrated in to the device but the the laptop is a add on to the desktop. Many things must be added on to the desktop like the mouse the monitor and the modem.    They have similar expansion compatibilities which mean that you can use the same printer or modem, because all printers are made to fit into every type on desktop and laptop
