Great – will be able to explain the 4 types of output. Visual, Printed, Audio & Control. Fantastic – will be able to recommend and justify specific output solutions for real world problems. Sometimes we just need to see the information, on screen or on paper, so we use a monitor or printer. When a computer has finished processing information, the information needs to be output so that it can be used.

6. Lesson Aim • To explore Output devices in real life situations. output Devices • Monitors: • Screens or Visual Display Units (VDUs) • Display the effects of what the user is doing • Can vary in size and resolution • Printers: • Produce a paper copy of the user’s work: a ‘hard copy’ • Come in three main types: laser, inkjet and dot matrix. Some businesses also use plotters. Lesson Outcomes Good – will understand what an output device is and give a real life example. Great – will be able to explain the 4 types of output. Visual, Printed, Audio & Control. Fantastic – will be able to recommend and justify specific output solutions for real world problems.

Fantastic – will be able to recommend and justify specific output solutions for real world problems. • Speakers: • Are used to output sound, whether music or voice • Vary a lot in quality. Sometimes we need to hear the information, so we use loudspeakers or headphones. • Headphones: • Work in the same way as speakers. • Can be cordless. When a computer has finished processing information, the information needs to be output so that it can be used.

Sometimes we want it to control something, so we send a signal to a motor or a switch that is part of another device, like a robotic arm or a computerized sewing machine. When a computer has finished processing information, the information needs to be output so that it can be used.

14. Lesson Aim • To explore Output devices in real life situations. Summary • There are four kinds of output devices; devices that produce a visual or printed output, those that produce an audio output and others that use control as output. • The three main types of monitors at Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) and Thin Film Transistor (TFT). • There are three main types of printers: dot matrix, inkjet and laser. • Sound devices include speakers and headphones. • Control devices include hydraulics, pneumatics and motors.
