A printer is a peripheral device that makes a permanent representation of graphics or text on a physical medium such as paper. It works by receiving print commands sent from a computer and then delivering ink to the surface of the paper. It is widely used by home and office users. There are many types of printers, some of which include thermal and laser printers, dot matrix and daisy wheel printers, inkjet printers, and 3D printers.
Using a printer, you can print hard copies of your work and share them with other people without needing to use a monitor. Besides that, it can also help you to get your work done more quickly. Moreover, you can make copies of documents and images to hand out for business purposes. You can even print receipts if you shop online.
Some of the key features of a printer are control buttons, paper feed tray, and cartridge cover. The control buttons are used for powering the device on and off, as well as ejecting or loading paper into it. The paper feed tray allows you to print on various types of media. The cartridge cover helps you to access the ink inks placed inside the printer for printing.
While there is no one person credited with the invention of the first mechanical printer, it was developed over time. The technology behind the modern printer was created by Charles Babbage with his Difference Engine in the 1800s.
