OUTPUT DEVICES OF COMPUTER SYSTEM

Computer output devices receive information from the computer and carry data that has been
processed by the computer to the user. Output devices provide data in myriad different forms,
some of which include audio, visual, and hard copy media. The devices are usually used for display,
projection, or for physical reproduction.

Examples of Output Devices


1. Monitor - This is the most common computer output device. It creates a visual display using which
users can view processed data. Monitors come in various sizes and resolutions.
Common Types of Monitors
 Cathode Ray Tube – this uses phosphorescent dots to generate the pixels that constitute displayed
images.
 Flat Panel Screen – this makes use of liquid crystals or plasma to produce output. Light is passed
through the liquid crystals to generate pixels.

All monitors depend on a video card, which is positioned either on the computer motherboard or in a
special expansion slot. The video card sorts out the computer data into image details that the
monitors can then show.
2. Printer - this device generates a hard copy version of processed data, like documents and
photographs. The computer transmits the image data to the printer, which then physically recreates
the image, typically on paper.
Types of Printers
 Ink Jet – this kind of printer sprays tiny dots of ink onto a surface to form an image.
 Laser – this type utilizes toner drums that roll through magnetized pigment, and then transfers the
pigment onto a surface.
 Dot Matrix – dot matrix printers utilize a print head to set images on a surface, using an ink ribbon.
3. Headphones - this is a combination of speakers and microphone. It is mostly used by gamers, and
is also a great tool for communicating with family and friends over the internet using some VOIP
program or other
4. Computer Speakers - speakers are attached to computers to facilitate the output of sound; sound
cards are required in the computer for speakers to function. The different kinds of speakers range
from simple, two-speaker output devices right the way up to surround-sound multi-channel units.
5. Projector - this is a display device that projects a computer-created image onto another surface:
usually some sort of whiteboard or wall. The computer transmits the image data to its video card,
which then sends the video image to the projector. It is most often used for presentations, or for
viewing videos.
6. Plotter - this generates a hard copy of a digitally depicted design. The design is sent to the plotter
through a graphics card, and the design is formed by using a pen. It is generally used with
engineering applications, and essentially draws a given image using a series of straight lines.

ACTIVITY
INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENT: Match the following output devices to their functions. Write the
letter of the correct answer.

________1. this is a combination of speakers and microphone.


________2. - speakers are attached to computers to facilitate the output of sound; sound cards are
required in the computer for speakers to function.
________3. – this uses phosphorescent dots to generate the pixels that constitute displayed images.
________4. this type utilizes toner drums that roll through magnetized pigment, and then transfers
the pigment onto a surface.
________5. – this makes use of liquid crystals or plasma to produce output. Light is passed through
the liquid crystals to generate pixels
________6. It creates a visual display using which users can view processed data.
________7. this generates a hard copy of a digitally depicted design
________8. this is a display device that projects a computer-created image onto another surface:
usually some sort of whiteboard or wall
________9. utilize a print head to set images on a surface, using an ink ribbon.
________10. this device generates a hard copy version of processed data, like documents and
photographs.

REMEMBER!
A computer can still function without an output device. However, without an output device, there is
no way to determine what the computer is doing. There is no indicator of errors, nor of the need for
additional input. For example, if you detach your monitor from your computer, the computer will
still function, but it is not going to be very helpful.

CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING


INSTRUCTION: True or False. Write True if the statement is correct and False if wrong.
1. Without output devices, computer would not be very helpful at all.
2. Monitor doesn’t have many common types to use.
3. Projector could display images in a larger scale.
4. Headphones is a combination of speaker and microphone.
5. Printer produces softcopies instead of hard copies.

KEYBOARD TECHNIQUES AND


SHORTCUT KEYS

Since the digital age arise, the keyboarding techniques and shortcut keys become a very useful tool
for the people who mostly faces their computers in their work or study sessions. The following
lesson will show you the different techniques and shortcut keys to use.

KEYBOARDING TECHNIQUES
1. Touch Typing It is the most common and most efficient method to type. In this method, the typist
looks at the source and type continuously without looking at the keyboard and the screen. As you
don't need to look back to the keyboard, the speed automatically increases. Almost every professional
typist uses this method to type.
2. Hunt & Peck Hunt & Peck is a typing technique where the person types each key one after
another. In this method, the user looks at the keyboard and don't look at the screen. So if the typist
makes any error, it is very difficult to find.
3. Hybrid This technique is a mix of Touch Typing and Hunt & Peck method. In this method, the
typist memorizes the keyboard layout and focusing the result on the screen. To speed up, the typist
fixed their hand position on the keyboard and only moves their finger to type.
4. Buffering - is a play pause method of typing. Here the typist read a sentence of the content,
memorize, and then type. It is a slow process of typing so we strongly recommend not to use this
method.
5. Thumbing is the most modern typing technique. After the development of Smartphone and tab,
this new method has developed. In this method, the person uses their both thumb to type. This typing
technique is useful only on small devices.
According to a recent survey, Touch Typing is the fastest technique to type. But as the person
doesn't look at the screen it is quite possible to make an error while typing. So it is better to
memorize the keyboard layout perfectly before use touch typing method.
REMEMBER!
Shortcut keys help provide an easier and quicker method of navigating and executing commands in
the computer software.
