4.3 Monitor
A monitor is, of course, part of the PC. It is the visual medium of
communication between the user and the machine.
It is important that you follow the instructions relating to
ergonomics, which should be contained in the instruction manual
for the monitor. These include: Correct posture, correct distance
between the eyes and the monitor (approx. 50 cm), positioning of
the keyboard within optimum reach of the hands.
4.4 Printers
Printers are output devices, which can output electronic data in
paper form as a so-called print medium.
In order for the printer to receive the desired data from the PC, it
must be connected to the computer’s printer port. This port
normally has the designation LPT1. However, it is also possible to
communicate with modern printers via the USB port.
The printer setup program is a component of Windows. If you want
to connect a new printer to your computer, you must inform your
PC of this. The printer setup program helps you to install the driver
and informs Windows which new printer you have connected and
how the operating system selects it.
4.5 Scanners
Similar to a copier, a scanner makes a kind of electronic
photograph of a document. The scanner converts this "photograph"
to a file, which can be understood by a computer. A photograph is
thus turned into a digital image, which you can save as a file and
process using appropriate graphics programs.
