Computer Fundamental Assignment


1.Procedure of resetting CMOS password
(Step by Step screen shots required)
Step 1:

Disconnect the main AC power by either


shutting off the power button on the back
of your power supply or simply pulling
out the power cable.

Step2:
Wait a minute to be sure all the capacitors
and coils have discharged.

To be really safe you can press the power


button which will drain the capacitors for
sure.

Step3:
Move the CMOS jumper to the clear
position, this is usually done on MSI
boards by moving JBAT1 from it's original
1-2 position to 2-3 position as
demonstrated in the photo below.
If you are not sure or have a non MSI
board you must find the correct jumper in
your motherboard manual.
Step4:

Press your power button. Press and hold


the power button on your computer for
about 10-15 seconds (nothing should
happen because the power is turned off).
This will discharge any remaining power
stored in the capacitors. This will make the
BIOS reset.
Step 5: Return the CMOS jumper to it's
original position.

Step6: Restore power to the system.

2.Report on various types of printers


A printer is an output device that produces text and graphics on paper.
Major types of printers can be divided into two main groups: Impact printer and Nonimpact printer.
1. Impact printer produces text and images when tiny wire pins on print head
strike the ink ribbon by physically contacting the paper.
2. Non-impact printer produces text and graphics on paper without actually
striking the paper.
Printers can also be categorized based on the print method or print technology.
The most popular ones are:
1. Inkjet printer,
2. Laser printer,

3. Dot-matrix printer and


4. Thermal printer
Among these, only dot-matrix printer is impact printer and the others are non-impact
printers.
