  • 6.1. INTRODUCTION Printers Are Output Devices Used to Prepare
    P a g e | 1 MAINTENANCE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Concept of printers. Study of printing mechanism. Study of dot matrix,inkjet and laserprinters. Concept of printer controller. To know about interface and signals. CHAPTER-6(PRINTERS) 6.1. INTRODUCTION Printers are Output devices used to prepare permanent Output devices on paper.Printers can be divided into two main categories : Impact Printers : In this hammers or pins strike against a ribbon and paper to print the text. This mechanism is known as electro-mechanical mechanism 6.2 PRINTING MECHANISM: There are two types of printers. 6.3 Impact printers An impact printer makes contact with the paper. It usually forms the print image by pressing an inked ribbon against the paper using a hammer or pins. Following are some examples of impact printers. 6.3.1Dot-Matrix Printers The dot-matrix printer uses print heads containing from 9 to 24 pins. These pins produce patterns of dots on the paper to form the individual characters. The 24 pin dot-matrix printer produces more dots that a 9 pin dot-matrix printer, which results in much better quality and clearer characters. The general rule is: the more pins, the clearer the letters on the paper. The pins strike the ribbon individually as the print mechanism moves across the entire print line in both directions, i-e, from left to right, then right to left, and so on. The user can produce a color output with a dot- matrix printer (the user will change the black ribbon with a ribbon that has color stripes).

  • Hewlett Packard: Continuing Dominance in the Printer Industry
    HEWLETT PACKARD: CONTINUING DOMINANCE IN THE PRINTER INDUSTRY BEM 106 Friday May 28, 2004 Anita Choi, Chris Flatt, Mike Lammers, Jason Quimby 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY By the 2006, Americans will be printing 1.8 trillion pages and spending $15 billion a year on ink and toner. Printers are one of the most important complements to the PC, needed by users both at home and in the office to transfer any electronic document onto paper. Since the first dot-matrix printer was introduced into the market in the early 1980s, printer technology has rapidly evolved to become machines that are increasingly efficient in producing sophisticated looking documents both in color and black-and- white. Hewlett Packard is a global leader in the industry of home and office printing. Even after merging with Compaq in 2002, HP’s Imaging and Printing group accounts for about 30% of the companies revenues and is markedly the most profitable division with earnings 1.4 times that of the company as a whole. Recently HP has faced new challenges with the entry of Dell and the surge in inkjet cartridge refill kits. This paper explores the challenges that HP faces in maintaining its dominance in the printer industry with respect to the competitive landscape and its current business strategy. 2. BACKGROUND ON HEWLETT PACKARD HP was founded in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. The company has its roots in the electronics, microwave, and radio industries. World War II government contracts enabled the business to grow into a million dollar company by 1944. By the 1960s, HP had diversified into personal computing, starting with programmable calculators in 1972, and eventually entering the desktop market in 1980.
