Q.No.3: Discuss different types of Printer. Ans. A printer is an output device that prints characters, symbols and graphics on paper. The printed output is called hardcopy. Print resolution is commonly measured in dots per inch(dpi). The printers with higher dpi produce higher quality output. Different types of printers are as follows: Impact Printer: An impact printer works like a type writer. It prints characters or images by sticking a print hammer or set pins against an inked ribbon. Impact printers are the oldest print technologies which are still produced. The impact printers are used where low cost printing is required. Three most common forms of impact printers are as follows: Dot Matrix Printer Daisy Wheel Printer Line Printer

Non Impact Printer: A non impact printer prints characters and graphics on paper without striking paper. Some printers use spray ink while use heat and pressure to create images. These printers are faster than impact printer. However, they are more costly than impact printers. They produce no noise during printing. The print quality of non impact printers is better than impact printers. Different types of non impact printers are: Laser Printer Inkjet Printer Thermal Printer Q.No.4: What is Net Work Topology? Write the names of Topologies. Discuss Star Topology with diagram. Ans. A network can be configured or arranged in different ways. The physical layout or arrangement of connected devices in a network is called topology. It is the shape of network. Different network topologies are as follows: 1. Bus Topology 2. Ring Topology 3. Star Topology 4. Tree Topology 5. Mesh Topology Star Topology: All computers in star topology are connected with central device called hub. Star topology mostly used in client server network. Working of Star Topology: The sending computer sends the data to hub. The hub sends data to the receiving computer. Each computer in star network communicate with a central hub. Q.No.5: What is Data Transmission Mode? Explain its different types. Ans. The way in which data is transmitted from one place to another is called data transmission mode. There are three types of data transmission mode: Simplex Mode: In simplex mode, data can flow only in one direction. It cannot be moved in both directions. It operates in a manner similar to a one way street. The direction of low never changes. A device with simplex mode can either send or receive data. It cannot perform both actions. An example is a traditional television broadcast. The signal is sent from the transmitter T.V. antenna. There is no return signal. Half Duplex Traffic: In half duplex mode, data can flow in both directions but not at the same time. It is transmitted one-way at one time. A device with half-duplex mode can send or receive data but not at the same time. This is why the speed of half-duplex mode is slow. Internet surfing is an example of half-duplex communication. Q.No.6: What is Memory? Explain different types of ROM. Ans. Main memory is an important component of computer. It is used to store program and data that are being executed. It is also known as working area of a computer system. Different types of ROM are as follows: PROM: PROM stands for Programmable Read Only Memory. This form of ROM is initially blank. The user or manufacturer can write data and program on it using special devices. The user can write data and instructions on it only once. If there is any error in writing the instructions, the error cannot be removed from PROM. The chip becomes unusable. EPROM: EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. This form of ROM is initially blank. The user or manufacturer can write data and programs on it using special devices. The data and programs written on it can be erased with special devices using ultraviolet rays. The user then can write new program on it. EEPROM: EEPROM stands for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. In this memory, user can erase and write instructions with the help of electrical pulses. If there is any error in

writing the instructions, the user can erase the contents electronically. The contents of EEPROM can be modified easily. Q.No.7: Explain different features of Windows Operating System. Ans. Some important features of windows OS are as follows:Graphical User Interface: Windows provides graphical user interface. It uses windows, icons, menus and other graphical objects of issue commands. The graphical environment makes it easier to perform different tasks. It is also more stable and convenient interface. Multi-tasking: Multi-tasking is the capability of loading multiple programs in memory and executing them at the same time. Windows OS is a multi-tasking system. A single user can run multiple programs simultaneously. The user can edit a document while listening music. Multi-user: It means that many users can use the computer at the same time. These users can be connected to a computer over the internet. Windows OS is a multi-user Operating System. Multi-Processing: Multi-processing is the capability to support and utilize multiple processors at the same time in a computer. Windows OS supports multiple processing. Two or more processors can execute different programs at the same time. It increases the output to computer. Plug and Play: Plug and play is the capability to detect and configure a device and install the appropriate device driver. Windows OS has the feature of plug and play. It contains a large number of device drivers. When a new hardware device is attached to computer, it detects the device and installs its driver if it is available. Backup and Recovery: Backup and Recovery feature is used to backup data and recover it in case of hard disk failure. Windows OS allows backup of files on hard disk or other media. Networking: Windows OS provides networking features. It provides the facility to establish maintain and troubleshoot a network.
