Multifunction
Peripheral Devices
Multifunctional devices (MFDs) combine the capabilities of photocopiers, printers, scanners and also faxes in one convenient unit and act as the hub for all of your document processing needs. A multifunction peripheral (MFP) is a gadget that can carry out a number of tasks that would often be handled by different peripheral devices. A multifunction peripheral typically has two or more of the following:
Printer
Scanner
Fax machine

Printer
A printer is a device that receives text and graphic output from a computer and prints the data on paper, typically on sheets of paper that are standard size, 8.5" by 11". The size, speed, sophistication, and price of printers varies.
Scanner
For computer editing and presentation, a scanner is a device that extracts pictures from photographic prints, posters, magazine pages, and other sources. Using optical character recognition (OCR), scanners turn the image on the page into digital data that can be saved on a computer.
Fax Machine
Using a telephone network, documents can be sent electronically using a fax machine. It transmits messages known as "faxes," which can be sent between two fax machines, between a fax machine and computer, or between a fax machine and an online fax service that supports sending and receiving faxes.
Modems
A modem or broadband modem is a hardware device that connects a computer or router to a broadband network. For example, a cable modem and DSL modem are two examples of these types of Modems. Short for modulator/demodulator, a modem is a hardware device that allows a computer to send and receive information over telephone lines. When sending a signal, the device converts ("modulates") digital data to an analog audio signal, and transmits it over a telephone line. Similarly, when an analog signal is received, the modem converts it back ("demodulates" it) to a digital signal.

Dial-Up
Dial-up Internet access is a form of Internet access that uses the facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to establish a connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) by dialing a telephone number on a conventional telephone line..Dial-up connections use modems to decode audio signals into data to send to a router or computer, and to encode signals from the latter two devices to send to another modem at the ISP.

Fiber
It is an electronic device and an internet network are connected by a fiber optic modem (FOM). Because these modems don't use copper lines to transmit the signal, they differ from standard DSL modems. Signals are transmitted by a network of fiber optic cables.
DSL
DSL is still the same as dial-up however, DSL allows you to use your landline telephone while connected to the internet.
Expansion Cards
An expansion card, or add-on card, is used to provide additional functionality to the system or to upgrade an existing function, such as sound or video. For example, an expansion card is a sound card, network card, or dedicated GPU. The most popular expansion slot standard is PCI Express (PCI-e).

Capture Card
Using a capture card, you can broadcast or record video and audio from another source. For instance, since your Playstation cannot record and broadcast your games concurrently, you will need a capture card that attaches to the HDMI port on your console if you wish to record gameplay from your Playstation.
Graphics Card
An expansion card for a computer known as a graphics card produces a feed of graphics output for a display device like a monitor. To stress their distinction from integrated graphics processors on the motherboard or the CPU, graphics cards are occasionally referred to as discrete or dedicated graphics cards.
Network Interface Card
The electronic component that links a computer to a computer network, typically a LAN, is referred to as a network interface card (also known as a NIC, network card, or network interface controller). It is regarded as hardware for computers. The motherboard of the majority of contemporary computers supports an inbuilt network interface controller, which eliminates the need for an additional component.
CD/DVD ROM Drives
In computing, an optical disc drive is a disc drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs. Some drives can only read from certain discs, but recent drives can both read and record, also called burners or writers (since they physically burn the organic dye on write-once CD-R, DVD-R and BD-R LTH discs). Compact discs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs are common types of optical media which can be read and recorded by such drives.
Although laptop manufacturers no longer have optical drives bundled with their products, external drives are still available for purchase separately.

CD-ROM Drives
A CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) is a type of read-only memory consisting of a pre-pressed optical compact disc that contains data. Computers can read—but not write or erase—CD-ROMs. Some CDs, called enhanced CDs, hold both computer data and audio with the latter capable of being played on a CD player, while data (such as software or digital video) is only usable on a computer (such as ISO 9660 format PC CD-ROMs).

DVD-ROM Drives
Such discs are a form of DVD-ROM because data can only be read and not written or erased. Blank recordable DVD discs (DVD-R and DVD+R) can be recorded once using a DVD recorder and then function as a DVD-ROM. Rewritable DVDs (DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM) can be recorded and erased many times.

Input/Output Devices
I/O devices are the pieces of hardware used by a human (or other system) to communicate with a computer. For instance, a keyboard or computer mouse is an input device for a computer, while monitors and printers are output devices. Devices for communication between computers, such as modems and network cards, typically perform both input and output operations. Any interaction with the system by an interactor is an input and the reaction the system responds is called the output.
