Overview
• Two most important places for computer- human interface
• Computers can only work with binary language
• Input devices translate what we understand to a form acceptable to the computer
• Output devices do the reverse
Input: Keyboard versus Direct Entry
Input devices convert people-readable data into machine-readable form. Input may be by keyboard or direct entry.
7Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Data Entry
• Keyboard entry– Keys like typewriter to enter text and numbers– Data normally comes from an original or
source document
• Direct entry– Data in machine readable form at entry point
8Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Data Entry
• Entry methods– Point-of-sale (POS) methods - keyboard and
bar scanning – Wand reader– Platform scanner

Keyboard Entry
In keyboard entry, people type input. There are four types of terminals: dumb, intelligent, network computer and Internet terminal.

Keyboard Entry
• Keyboards - besides alphanumeric, special purpose keys that toggle or work with the Control, Alt and Shift keys
12Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Keyboard Entry
• Terminals - input and output device connecting users to mainframe computers– Dumb terminal - no processor or local
storage– Intelligent terminal - CPU, memory and
storage; Net PC, or network computer
13Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Keyboard Entry
• Terminals - input and output device connecting users to mainframe computers– Network terminal - low cost alternative to
intelligent terminal– Internet terminal - or Web terminal,
accesses and displays Web pages on a television set
Direct Entry
Direct entry creates machine-readable data that can go directly to the CPU. Direct entry includes pointing, scanning and voice-input devices.
15Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Direct Entry
• Data is already in machine-readable format
• No keyboard or transcription device required
• Three categories– Pointing devices– Scanning devices– Voice-input devices
16Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four

Pointing Devices
• Mouse, trackball or touch-surface - cursor moves in response to rolling ball or moving finger
• Touch screen - screen recognizes position of touching finger
• Light pen - screen recognizes position of light-sensitive pen-like device
19Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Pointing Devices
• Digitizer - special pad and stylus used to capture images hand drawn
• Digital camera - image recorded digitally and stored on chips or disks; not yet film quality, but increasingly popular as prices drop
• Digital notebook - notepad that can capture handwriting and store it

22Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Scanning Devices
• Image scanner - images scanned and broken into digital code
• Fax machine - scanner codes images and sends them over the phone line
• Bar-code readers - photoelectric scanner reads vertical bars
23Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Image Scanner
• Identifies images on a page and converts them to digital electronic signals
• Increased usage in desktop publishing and for home use as well
24Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Fax Machines
• Fax machine - scans images and transmits them over phone lines to a receiving fax on the other end
• Fax modem cards in computers achieve same results without scanning capability
25Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Bar-Code Readers
• Photoelectric scanners that read vertical zebra-striped marks called bar codes
• The bar code is a unique identifier that links to a product code in the store’s computer
26Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Bar-Code Readers
• The computer contains the product description and price
27Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Scanning Devices
• Character and mark recognition devices– Magnetic-ink character recognition (MICR) - used
by banks to read magnetically encoded characters
– Optical-character recognition (OCR) - specially preprinted characters are read by OCR devices such as wand scanners
– Optical-mark recognition (OMR) - devices sense the presence or absence of marks, common for test scoring
28Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Voice-Input Devices
• Convert speech into digital code• Most common device is the microphone• Voice recognition systems
– Microphone, bundled with sound card and software
– Some voice recognition systems must be trained for user’s voice
– Some can translate from one language to another
29Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Voice Recognition Systems
• Continuous speech - used to issue commands to special application programs
• Discrete-word - permits users to dictate directly into a microcomputer
Output: Monitors, Printers, Plotters, Voice
Output devices convert machine-readable information into people-readable form.
Monitors
Monitor standards indicate screen quality. Some monitors are used on the desktop, others are portable.
32Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Monitor Standards
• VGA (“Video Graphics Array”) - 16 colors at 640 by 480
• Super VGA or SVGA (“Super Video Graphics Array”) - minimum resolution of 800 by 600, up to 1600 by 1200
• XGA (“Extended Graphic Array”) - resolution up 1024 by 768, over 18 million colors

Monitors
• Cathode-Ray Tubes - similar to television technology
• Flat-Panel Monitors - or liquid display (LCD) monitors– Passive-matrix or dual-scan - images
created by scanning the entire screen– Active-matrix - each pixel is individually
activated

Printers
There are three types of printers: ink-jet, laser and thermal.
38Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Printers
• Ink-jet Printer– Sprays droplets of ink on paper to produce
text and images– Inexpensive
39Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Printers
• Laser Printer – Technology
similar to photocopier
– Laser beam creates images which are applied via toner to paper
40Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Printers
• Thermal Printer– Heat used to produce text and images on
heat-sensitive paper– Very high quality color option
41Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Printers
• Other Printers– Dot-matrix uses pins to produce dots on
paper to represent text and images– Chain printer - high speed printer for
minicomputers and mainframes
Plotters
Plotters are special-purpose drawing devices.
43Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Plotters
• Pen Plotter– Moving pen or pencil over
drafting paper– Least expensive– Slower speed and limited
capability
• Ink-Jet Plotter– Uses sprayed droplets of
ink– Faster
44Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Plotters
• Ink-Jet Plotter– Uses sprayed
droplets of ink– Faster– High quality– Quiet operation
45Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Plotters
• Electrostatic Plotter– Electrostatic charges
(rather than pens) produce dots on specially treated paper
– Paper is then developed
– Very fast– Hazardous chemicals
46Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Plotters
• Direct Imaging Plotter– Electrically heated
pins create images on heat-sensitive paper
– Expensive paper required
– Two-color output only
Voice-Output Devices
Voice-output devices vocalize prerecorded sounds.
48Computing Essentials 1999 - 2000 Chapter Four
Voice-Output Devices
• Make sounds that resemble human speech but actually are using prerecorded vocalized sounds
• Components are often a sound card and a speaker system
