Printer is a hardware output device that prints text documents, images or a combination of both. It is connected to a computer and translates commands sent from the software into a language that the printer understands. There are two big categories of these languages: Page description languages and printer control languages.
Some of the most popular printers include inkjet printers, laser printers and thermal printers. They all differ in their speed, resolution and other features. They can also be categorized according to the type of paper they use – plain, carbon or card stock.
The printer’s memory is used to store the data it processes during printing. It also helps to maintain the image quality when printing large numbers of pages simultaneously. It is possible to increase the amount of the printer’s memory through the installation of additional RAM modules.
In the past, there were many different types of printers available in the market. They all had their unique advantages and disadvantages. Some were very expensive but could produce high-quality documents. Others were cheap but were not reliable.
One of the most significant advances in the field of printing technology is the development of the multi-function or all-in-one printer. These devices combine the functions of a scanner, fax machine and printer into a single unit. They are ideal for home and office use.
Some people choose to purchase their printers through a major retailer because of the perceived convenience of being able to buy all their equipment at one place. However, purchasing through a local dealer may be just as easy and convenient in some cases.
