6. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 6 Types of Printers  Computer technicians should know how to purchase, repair, or maintain a printer.  A customer may request a technician to: Select a printer Install and configure a printer Troubleshoot a printer

7. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 7 Printers: Speed and Capacity Printers available today are:  Laser printers using electrophotographic technology  Inkjet printers using electrostatic spray technology  Dot matrix printers using impact technology Used in applications that require multiple (“carbon”) copies  Printer speed is measured in pages per minute (ppm): Inkjet Printer 2 - 6 ppm Laser Printer8 - 200 ppm  Price of a printer reflects its capacity and speed

8. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 8 Printers: Color and Quality  The choice between a black-and-white printer and a color printer depends on the needs of customers.  A printer produces colors using subtractive mixing. The eye sees a color that reflects from the combination of colors on the paper. The colors are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). Quality is measured in dots per inch (dpi).  The more dpi, the higher the resolution Color wheel

9. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 9 Printers: Reliability and Cost  Factors of reliability include: Warranty Scheduled servicing Mean time between failures (MTBF)  Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) includes: Initial purchase price Cost of supplies, such as paper and ink Price per page Maintenance costs Warranty costs The amount of material to be printed The expected lifetime of the printer

10. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 10 Printer to Computer Interfaces To access a printer, a computer must have an interface with it. The following are common interface types:  Serial data transfer is the movement of single bits of information in a single cycle. Serial ports are D-shell and are either male or female ports  Parallel data transfer is the movement of multiple bits of information in a single cycle. Parallel data transfer is faster than serial data transfer  Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), pronounced “scuzzy”, uses parallel communication to achieve high data-transfer rates.  Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a common interface for printers and other devices.

11. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 11 More Interface Types  Firewire is also known as i.LINK or IEEE 1394 and is a high-speed, communication bus that is platform independent. Firewire devices are hot-swappable.  Ethernet is an interface for network printers, which are usually a resource shared on a network.  Wireless printing technology: Infrared requires transmitters and receivers on both devices, a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver, and a maximum distance of 15 ft (4.5 m). Bluetooth technology uses an unlicensed radio frequency for short-range communication. Wi-Fi or IEEE 802.11 is a standard for wireless communication.

12. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 12 Laser Printers  A laser printer is a high-quality, fast printer that uses a laser beam to create an image.  The main components contained within a laser printer: Toner cartridge Laser scanner High-voltage power supply Paper transport mechanism Transfer corona Fuser assembly Control circuitry Ozone filter  NOTE: You should know the components of a laser printer and the steps required to print a page.

13. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 13 Laser Printing Process  The laser printer process involves six steps to print information onto a single sheet of paper

14. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 14 WARNING  The primary corona wire or grid, or the conditioning roller, can be very dangerous.  The voltage runs as high as -6000 volts.  Only certified technicians should work on the unit.  Before working inside a laser printer, you should make sure that voltage is properly discharged.

15. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 15 Impact Printers  Impact printers form characters when the print head impacts a printer tape or inked ribbon to create characters. (Daisy-wheel and dot-matrix printers)  Advantages: Uses inexpensive consumables Uses continuous feed paper Has copy printing ability (“carbon copies”)  Disadvantages: Noisy Low resolution graphics Limited color capability Slow printing, normally 32 to 76 characters per second (cps)

16. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 16 Inkjet Printers  Use ink-filled cartridges that spray ink onto a page through tiny holes, or nozzles. The ink is sprayed in a pattern on the page, one column of dots at a time. Produce high quality print Easy to use Inexpensive compared to laser printers  Two types of inkjet nozzles: Thermal - A pulse of electrical current is applied to heating chambers around the nozzles. The heat creates a bubble of steam in the chamber which forces ink out through the nozzle. A charge is applied to piezoelectric crystals, located in the ink reservoir at the back of each nozzle. This charge causes the crystals to vibrate. The vibration controls the flow of ink onto the paper.

17. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 17 Inkjet Printer Components  A feeding mechanism draws paper in and the paper passes by the print head where ink is sprayed onto it.  Paper leaves the printer through the discharge mechanism, and is wet for about 15 seconds.

18. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 18 Solid-ink Printers Use solid sticks of ink rather than toner or ink cartridges  The printing process: Step 1: Cleaning Step 2: Spraying Step 3: Transferring  Advantages: Produces vibrant color prints Easy to use Can use many different paper types  Disadvantages: Expensive (the printer and ink) Slow to warm up

19. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 19 Thermal Printers  A thermal printer uses chemically-treated paper that becomes black when heated.  A thermal transfer printer uses heat-sensitive ribbon, which the print head melts onto the paper.  Thermal printers have a longer life because there are few moving parts.  Disadvantages: Paper is expensive Paper has a short shelf life Images are poor quality Paper must be stored at room temperature

20. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 20 Dye-Sublimation Printers  Also called thermal dye printers  Usually used in producing photo-quality images for graphic printing  Uses solid sheets of ink that change directly from solid to gas when heated, in a process called sublimating  Advantages: Very high quality images Overcoat layer reduces smearing, increases moisture resistance  Disadvantages: Media can be expensive They are better for color than for grayscale (black and white)

21. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.

37. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 37 Types of Scanners  Scanners convert printed data or images into an electronic data format that a computer can store or process as required. A scanned image can be saved, modified, and even e-mailed as you would with any other file. All-in-one scanner Flatbed scanner Handheld scanner Drum scanner

38. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 38 Resolution and OCR  Features, quality, and speed of scanners vary. Scanners typically create an RGB image that can be converted into image formats such as JPEG, TIFF, Bitmap, and PNG. An RGB image has three channels: red, green, and blue.  Some scanners can create text documents using optical character recognition (OCR). OCR software is used to convert a scanned printed page into text that can be edited with a word processor. Resolution of a scanner is measured in dots per inch (dpi). Like printers, the higher the dpi, the better the quality of the image.

39. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 39 Interfaces and Cables  To allow communication of data, the scanner and computer must have compatible interfaces.  Interfaces and cables used for printers are typically the same as those used for scanners. Parallel (Centronics and DB-25) USB Firewire Serial

40. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 40 All-in-one Scanners  An all-in-one device combines the functionality of multiple devices into one physical piece of hardware.

Avoid placing items in the scanner that can scratch the glass.

42. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 42 Handheld Scanners  Pass the scanner head across the surface you want to scan.  When you want to scan an item larger than the head of the handheld scanner, you must make more than one pass to capture the full image and then put the images back together to form a single image of the item that was scanned.

43. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 43 Drum Scanners  Produce a high-quality scanned image  Usually used in commercial operations  Being replaced by lower priced, high-quality flatbed scanners  Still in use for high-end reproductions, such as archiving photographs in museums  To scan an image using a drum scanner: Attach the image to a revolving drum or load it into a supporting canister. Drum is rotated at high speed across optical scanners. Optical scanners move slowly across the drum surface until the entire image is captured. The captured image is then reproduced by the computer as a digital image file.

44. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 44 Installation and Configuration  An installation CD that includes drivers, manuals, and diagnostic software will be included with the scanner. The same tools may also be available as downloads from the manufacturer's website.

45. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 45 Power and Connect a Scanner  Scanners can connect to a computer using a USB, FireWire, network, or parallel port. Some scanners may connect using a SCSI interface.  Some scanners can draw all the power they need from the USB or FireWire connector. All-in-ones connect directly to AC power. Scanners that do not include a printer can connect using an AC power adapter.  After unpacking the scanner, connect the appropriate power and data cables. CAUTION: Some scanners are packed for shipping with the scanner assembly taped or blocked off to prevent damage in transport.

46. © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 7 46 Install and Update Device Driver  Once the scanner is connected and started, the computer operating system may be able to discover the scanner through the Plug and Play (PnP) process.  Install the driver software from the manufacturer.
