F. Long answer questions.

1. What is a scanner? Describe types. Ans. A scanner allows you to scan information printed on paper or some other media. The scanned information is transferred to a computer’s hard disk for further processing. It uses a light beam to scan the input data. The various types of scanner are- a. Flatbed scanner: A flatbed scanner takes some space on your desk. Depending on its size, it can fit standard (A4) or legal sized documents, and the flexible cover allows you to scan large items such as books. It is great for scanning the occasional newspaper article, book chapter, or photograph. b. Handheld scanner: A handheld scanner is moved by hand over the information that is to be scanned. It is much smaller and less expensive than a flatbed scanner.

2. Distinguish between impact and non-impact computers? Give examples of each. Ans.
