Output Devices

Any machine capable of representing information from a computer. This includes display screens, printers, plotters, and synthesizers.

Printer

In computing, a printer is a peripheral which makes a representation of an electronic document on physical media. Individual printers are designed to support local and network users at the same time. Some printers can print documents stored on memory cards or from digital cameras and scanners.

 Consumer and some commercial printers are designed for low-volume, short-turnaround print jobs; requiring virtually no setup time to achieve a hard copy of a given document. However, printers are generally slow devices 30 pages per minute is considered fast, and many inexpensive consumer printers are far slower than that

Monitor

Another term for display screen. The term monitor, however, usually refers to the entire box, whereas display screen can mean just the screen. In addition, the term monitor often implies graphics capabilities. There are many ways to classify monitors. The most basic is in terms of color capabilities.


Speakers
 

A speaker is a term used to describe the user who is giving vocal commands to a software program. A hardware device connected to a computer's sound card that outputs sounds generated by the computer.
