Section 2: Types of uses of output devices

Question 1

CRT monitor

Answer 1

Applications where space is not a problem. Applications where more than
one user may need to view screen simultaneously such as in design use,
e.g. when several designers may need to offer suggestions on a prototype

Question 2

TFT monitor

Answer 2

Applications where space is limited such as small offices. Applications
where only one person needs to view the screen such as individual
workstations

Question 3

Multimedia Projector

Answer 3

Applications such as training presentations, advertising presentations and
home cinema – it displays data from computers, pictures from televisions
and video/DVD recorders

Question 4

Laser Printer

Answer 4

Applications which require low noise and low chemical emissions, e.g. most
networked systems. Applications which require rapid, high quality and high
volumes of output, e.g. most offices and schools

Question 5

Inkjet Printer

Answer 5

Applications which require portability and low volume output, where
changing cartridges is not an issue e.g. small offices and stand alone
systems. Applications which require very high quality output and where
speed is not an issue, e.g. digital camera applications

Question 6

Dot Matrix Printer

Answer 6

Applications where noise is not an issue and copies have to be made, e.g.
industrial environments (multipart forms, continuous stationery, labels etc.),
car sales and repair companies, manufacturing sites

Question 7

Graph Plotter

Answer 7

CAD applications, particularly where large printouts are required such as A0

Question 8

Speakers

Answer 8

application which requires sound to be output such as multimedia
presentations and websites including encyclopaedias. Applications that
