    Input and output devices allow a computer to receive information from and send information to the outside world. Input devices include keyboards for entering text, pointing devices like mice and touchscreens for navigation, and scanning devices for digitizing documents. Output devices display and print the results of processing, including computer monitors, LCD projectors, and various types of printers. A variety of ports and cables connect these devices to the computer system unit.

    Input and Output

    Devices
    I. Input Devices
    - accepts data and instructions from the user or from another
    computer system.
    Two (2) Types of Input Devices

    • Keyboard Entry

    • Direct Entry
    • Keyboard Entry
    Data is inputted to the computer through a keyboard.
    Keyboard

    The first input device developed for the PC. Data is transferred to the PC
    over a short cable with a circular 6-pin Mini-din connector that plugs into
    the back of the motherboard.
    • Direct Entry
    A form of input that does not require data to be keyed by someone
    sitting at a keyboard. Direct-entry devices create machine-readable
    data on paper, or magnetic media, or feed it directly into the
    computer’s CPU.
    Three Categories of Direct Entry Devices

    • Pointing Devices

    • Scanning Devices

    • Voice - Input Devices


    • Pointing Devices
    An input device used to move the pointer (cursor) on screen.
    Mouse
    The most common 'pointing device' used
    in PCs. Every mouse has two buttons and
    most have one or two scroll wheels.
    Touch Screen
    A display screen that is sensitive to the
    touch of a finger or stylus. Used in
    myriad applications, including ATM
    machines, retail point-of-sale
    terminals, car navigation and
    industrial controls. The touch screen
    became wildly popular for smart
    phones and tablets.
    Light Pen
    A light-sensitive stylus wired to a video terminal
    used to draw pictures or select menu options. The
    user brings the pen to the desired point on screen and
    presses the pen button to make contact.
    Digitizer Tablet

    A graphics drawing tablet used for sketching new images or tracing old ones.
    Also called a "graphics tablet," the user contacts the surface of the device with
    a wired or wireless pen or puck. Often mistakenly called a mouse, the puck is
    officially the "tablet cursor."
    • Scanning Devices

    A device that can read text or illustrations printed on paper and


    translates the information into a form the computer can use.
    • Voice - Input Devices

    Audio input devices also known as speech or voice recognition systems


    that allow a user to send audio signals to a computer for processing,
    recording, or carrying out commands. Audio input devices such as
    microphones allow users to speak to the computer in order to record a
    voice message or navigate software.
    II. Output Devices
    Any piece of computer hardware that displays results after the
    computer has processed the input data that has been entered.
    Computer Display Monitor
    It displays information in visual form, using text and graphics. The
    portion of the monitor that displays the information is called the screen
    or video display terminal.
    Types of Monitor

    • CRT Monitors

    • LCD Monitors

    • LED Monitors
    • CRT Monitors

    Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) were the only type of displays for use
    with desktop PCs. They are relatively big (14" to 16" deep) and
    heavy (over 15 lbs).
    • LCD Monitors

    Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology has been used in laptops for
    some time. It has recently been made commercially available as
    monitors for desktop PCs.
    • LED Monitors

    Light Emitting Diode (LED) - A display and lighting technology used


    in almost every electrical and electronic product on the market, from a
    tiny on/off light to digital readouts, flashlights, traffic lights and
    perimeter lighting.
    LCD Projectors
    Utilize two sheets of polarizing
    material with a liquid crystal
    solution between them. An electric
    current passed through the liquid
    causes the crystals to align so that
    light cannot pass through them.
    Each crystal, therefore, is like a
    shutter, either allowing light to
    pass through or blocking the light.
    Smart Board
    A type of display screen
    that has a touch sensitive
    transparent panel covering
    the screen, which is similar
    to a touch screen.
    Printer
    A device that prints text or illustrations on paper.
    Types of Printer

    • Ink-Jet or Bubble-Jet Printer

    • Laser Printer
    • LCD and LED Printer

    • Line Printer

    • Thermal Printer
    • Ink-Jet or Bubble-Jet Printer

    Brays ink at a sheet of paper.


    Ink-jet printers produce high-
    quality text and graphics.
    • Laser Printer

    Uses the same technology


    as copy machines. Laser
    printers produce very high
    quality text and graphics.
    • LCD and LED Printer

    Similar to a laser printer, but uses liquid crystals or light-


    emitting diodes rather than a laser to produce an image on
    the drum.
    • Line Printer

    Contains a chain of characters or pins


    that print an entire line at one time.
    Line printers are very fast, but produce
    low - quality print.
    • Thermal Printer

    An inexpensive printer that works by pushing heated pins against heat-


    sensitive paper. Thermal printers are widely used in calculators and fax
    machines.
    Speakers
    Used to play sound. They may be built into the system unit or
    connected with cables. Speakers allow you to listen to music
    and hear sound effects from your computer.
    Ports
    External connecting sockets on the outside of the computer. This
    is a pathway into and out of the computer. A port lets users plug
    in outside peripherals, such as monitors, scanners and printers.
    Types of Ports and
    their Functions
    Serial Port - Intended for serial type mouse and older camera.

    Parallel Port - Also called as printer port. This is only for


    old model printer. It has 25 pins. It is a female port.

    VGA (Video Graphic Array) Port - Used to connect monitors. It


    has 15 pins and it is a female port.

    USB (Universal Serial Bus) Port - High speed serial interface that is
    used with almost all devices. It is used to connect latest model printers,
    pen drives, cell phones etc. it has 4 pins.
    PS/2 Port - Simple, 6-pin, low-speed serial connections
    commonly dedicated to a keyboard and mouse.

    Power Port - Intended for power cord.

    S-Video Port – S - Video connections are available on certain


    source components and video display devices, and offer a higher
    level of video performance over composite video signals.

    Audio Port - Intended for plugging in the speaker or headset.

    LAN (Local Area Networking) Port - A physical interface often


    used for terminating twisted pair type cables used to connect
    computers onto a local-area networks (LAN), especially Ethernet
    RJ-45 connectors
    Cables and Wires
    A cable is most often two or more wires running side by side and
    bonded, twisted or braided together to form a single assembly, but
    can also refer to a heavy strong rope.
    The Cables and Connectors
    These jacks are intended for the PS/2 port specifically for PS/2 type
    of keyboard and mouse.

    This type of jack is intended for the audio and microphone port.

    S-video jack is obviously for S-Video port.

    This monitor jack is intended for the VGA (Video Graphic


    Array) port.
    This USB (Universal Serial Bus) plug is intended for USB port.
    Modern or new model of peripherals like printer, camera,
    scanners and even other portable computer attachments used
    USB type of plugs.

    This printer cable jack is intended for the parallel


    port.

    RJ45 ("RJ" in RJ45 stands for "registered jack," since


    it is a standardized networking interface and the "45"
    simply refers to the number of the interface standard)
    is a type of connector commonly used for Ethernet
    networking.

    Power cord is the most important cord because it


    connects the computer to the main source of
    electricity to make it functional.
