Input and Output

Ergonomic Keyboard
An ergonomic keyboard is a computer keyboard that are specially designed with ergonomic considerations to decrease muscle strain and a host of related problems. This keyboard is tyipically designed in a V shape to enable right and left hands to type at a slight angle more natural to the human form.


Ink-jet printer
An ink-jet printer is a type of computer printer that creates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto a paper. This printer seems to be the most commonly used type of printer. Ink-jet printers are capable of producing high quality print approaching that produced by laser printers.


Laser Printer
laser printer is a common type of computer printer that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics on plain paper. As with digital photocopiers and multifunction printers (MFPs), laser printers gives a xerographic printing process, but differ from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of a laser beam across the printer's photoreceptor.
Magnetic-ink character
In computing, a technique that enables special characters printed in magnetic ink to be read and input rapidly to a computer. MICR is used extensively in banking because magnetic-ink characters can be machine-read with much greater accuracy than human reading or otheroptical character recognition (OCR) systems, and are therefore ideal for marking and identifying the account and sort code numbers on cheques. 



Optical-character recognition
Optical-character recognition is the mechanical or electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used to convert books and documents into electronic files, to computerize a record-keeping system in an office, or to publish the text on a website. OCR makes it possible to edit the text, search for a word or phrase, store it more compactly, display or print a copy free of scanning artifacts, and apply techniques such as machine translation, text-to-speech and text mining to it.


Optical-mark recognition
Optical-mark recognition is the process of capturing human-marked data from document forms such as surveys and tests.
