Printer:
A printer is a hardware output device that is used to generate hard copy and print any document. A
document can be of any type such as a text file, image, or the combination of both. It accepts input
command by users on a computer or on other devices to print the documents. For example, if you have to
submit a project report at your college, you need to create a soft copy of your report and print it with the
help of the printer.
Printers are one of the common computer peripheral devices that can be classified into two categories that
are 2D and 3D printers. The 2D printers are used to print text and graphics on a paper, and 3D printers are
used to create three dimensional physical objects.
Inkjet Printers
It is widely used by home and business computer users that prints characters by spraying the ink
using magnetic plates on the paper. It contains a paper feed assembly, ink cartridge, print
head, stabilizer bar, and belt.
Laser printers
The laser printer is one of the common personal computer printers. It was introduced in 1971, and
after that it was developed at Xerox PARC by Gary Starkweather.
3D Printers
One of the best enhancements in the history of printing technology is the 3d printer, which was
developed by Chuck Hull in 1984. It produces 3D objects and items by using quality resin.
LED Printers
The LED printer is mostly like a laser printer. It uses the drum, ink, and fuser system to print the
black or colored documents.
Multifunction Printers
Multifunction printer is a hardware device that can perform various tasks such as printing,
scanning, faxing, and copying. It is also called the All-in-One printer. It is suitable for budget-
minded businesses that want to reduce costs, consolidate assets, and improve workflow.
Thermal printer
The thermal printer is invented by Jack Kilby that is also known as an electrothermal printer,
thermal transfer printer, or thermal wax-transfer printer. It utilizes heated pins in order to produce
the image on paper.
