🔹Printer is an output device, which is used to print information on paper. The printed output produced by a printer is often called a hard copy, which is the physical version of an electronic document. While some printers can only print black and white hard copies, most printers today can produce color prints.

   🔹 Laser printers are output devices usually found in businesses and organisations. Using static electricity, the way they work is completely different to inkjet printers. Laser printers are ideal for high volume printing because they produce very high quality documents at fast speeds.

    🔹Dot matrix printers are a type of impact printer that prints using a fixed number of pins or wires and typically use a print head that moves back and forth or in an up-and-down motion on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper.

    🔹Thermal printers are popular output devices for retail receipts and other temporary prints. In this video, you'll learn about thermal printers, feed assemblies, heating elements, and thermal paper. A thermal printer operates by feeding a specially coated white paper into the printer.

    🔹A plotter is a computer output device used to produce high-quality, large-scale graphics and drawings. It works by precisely positioning a pen or other drawing tool to create lines, curves, and shapes on paper or other media.

   🔹 3D printers are output devices used to create three dimensional objects from a 3D computer model. The computer model can be created by using a 3D scanner, or by hand using CAD modeling software.
