LASER PRINTER

LASER PRINTER 

    Laser printers uses static electricity to make a pattern of letter /figures on a photosensitive drum(which is charged positive all over) and thereby makes a negative charged figure/image on the drum. The positive charged toner get slicked on the drum due to opposite charges as per patterns which
requires to be written on the paper and finally get dropped on the more strongly charged(positive)paper and then fused permanently by applying heat on the paper and that is how laser jet works. We will try to understand this basic concept with the help of diagram 
 
The image formation system consist of 6 stages in a laser printer 
1. Cleaning(by discharge lamp) 
2. Charging(by corona wire or roller) 
3. Writing (by laser light) 
4. Development( by toner getting glued with drum) 
5. Image transfer on paper 
6. Fusion (by fuser on paper by heating)

Working of Laser printer 
The drum is given a total positive charge by the charge corona wire, a wire with an electrical current running through it. (Some printers use a charged roller instead of a corona wire, but the principle is the same.) As the drum revolves, the printer shines a tiny laser beam across the surface to discharge certain points. In this way, the laser "draws" the letters and images to be printed as a pattern of electrical charges -- an electrostatic image. The system can also work with the charges reversed - that is, a positive electrostatic image on a negative background. 

    After the pattern is set, the printer coats the drum with positively charged toner- a fine, black powder. Since it has a positive charge, the toner clings to the negative discharged areas of the drum, but not to the positively charged "background." This is something like writing on a soda can with glue and then rolling it over some flour: The flour only sticks to the glue-coated part of the can, so you end up with a message written in powder. 

    With the powder pattern affixed, the drum rolls over a sheet of paper, which is moving along a belt below. Before the paper rolls under the drum, it is given a negative charge by the transfer corona wire (charged roller). This charge is stronger than the negative charge of the electrostatic image, so the paper can pull the toner powder away. Since it is moving at the same speed as the drum, the paper picks up the image pattern exactly. To keep the paper from clinging to the drum, it is discharged by the detac corona wire immediately after picking up the toner. 

    Finally, the printer passes the paper through the fuser, a pair of heated rollers. As the paper passes through these rollers, the loose toner powder melts, fusing with the fibers in the paper. The fuser rolls the paper to the output tray, and you have your finished page. The fuser also heats up the paper itself, of course, which is why pages are always hot when they come out of a laser printer or photocopier.

The main features of laser jet printer are as follows:- 
1. Memory-8 to 16 MB RAM 
2. Fast printing speed i.e. more number of pages per minute 
3. Network printing that is printer will not be connected with any computer but will be directly connected with the switch and will work for all computers in the network. 
4. Works as printer, photo copier and scanner

BIOS

BIOS       BIOS is a software which resides in a small flash EEPROM memory on the motherboard. It is a  form of read only memory (ROM), but may be rewritten or programmed when the right tools and  techniques are applied. It works as an interface between the computer hardware and operating system  and communicates between computer and devices.       The BIOS is very important part of your computer that makes its home on the motherboard. The BIOS provides an interface between the raw PC hardware and the standard operating system, it is usually stored in ROM. As you can see, BIOS is important; every computer needs it. And like CPU's, it comes in different versions. BIOS versions are based on years. These chips are typically the biggest chips on your motherboard other than the CPU and math-coprocessor. There is usually a big sticker on it that says BIOS. The sticker also says what kind of BIOS it is and what year the BIOS were published...

ईथरनेट शब्दावली /Ethernet Terminology

           ईथरनेट   शब्दावली   ईथरनेट नियमों के एक सरल सेट का अनुसरण करता है जो इसके मूल संचालन को नियंत्रित करता है। इन नियमों को बेहतर ढंग से समझने के लिए, ईथरनेट शब्दावली की मूल बातें समझना महत्वपूर्ण है।  मध्यम   (Medium) ईथरनेट डिवाइस एक सामान्य माध्यम से जुड़ते हैं जो एक रास्ता प्रदान करता है जिसके साथ इलेक्ट्रॉनिक सिग्नल यात्रा करेंगे। ऐतिहासिक रूप से, यह माध्यम समाक्षीय तांबा केबल रहा है, लेकिन आज यह अधिक सामान्यतः एक मुड़ जोड़ी या फाइबर ऑप्टिक केबलिंग है।   खंड ( Segment ) हम ईथरनेट खंड के रूप में एकल साझा माध्यम का उल्लेख करते हैं। नोड डिवाइस जो उस सेगमेंट से जुड़ते हैं वे स्टेशन या नोड होते हैं। ढांचा नोड्स छोटे संदेशों में कहे जाते हैं, जिन्हें फ्रेम कहा जाता है, जो सूचनाओं के भिन्न आकार होते हैं।  फ़्रेम ( Frame )  मानव भाषा में वाक्यों के अनुरूप हैं। अंग्रेजी में, हमारे वाक्य बनाने के नियम हैं: हम जानते हैं कि प्रत्येक वाक्य में एक विषय और एक विधेय होना चाहिए। ईथरनेट प्रोटोकॉल फ्रेम के निर्माण के लिए नियमों क...

Ethernet/ईथरनेट

         ईथरनेट (Ethernet)  ईथरनेट एक ऐसा प्रोटोकॉल है जो सभी डिवाइसों को सभी साझा किए गए एकल केबल की मदद से नेटवर्क पर अन्य सभी उपकरणों के साथ संचार करने में सक्षम बनाता है। यह मूल रूप से दो सरल पर काम करता है प्रधान अध्यापक:- 1. एक निश्चित समय पर केवल एक उपकरण संचारित होगा और बाकी सभी वाहक के सुनने में होंगे। पैकेट सभी को भेजा जाएगा लेकिन केवल सही नोड द्वारा प्राप्त किया जाएगा। बाकी सभी नोड इस पैकेट को अस्वीकार कर देंगे। एक बार पैकेट को अग्रेषित करने के बाद अगला उपकरण समाप्त हो जाएगा और अन्य सभी सुनने में होंगे। 2. यदि दो डिवाइस एक ही समय में अग्रेषित करना शुरू करते हैं तो पैकेट की टक्कर होगी और संवेदन के बाद दोनों उपकरण प्रसारण बंद कर देंगे और फिर से एक-एक करके प्रसारण शुरू कर देंगे।   1973 में, ज़ेरॉक्स कॉरपोरेशन के पालो ऑल्टो रिसर्च सेंटर (जिसे आमतौर पर PARC के रूप में जाना जाता है) में, शोधकर्ता बॉब मेटकाफ ने पहले ईथरनेट नेटवर्क का डिजाइन और परीक्षण किया। ज़ेरॉक्स के "ऑल्टो" कंप्यूटर को प्रिंटर से लिंक करने के तरीके पर काम करते समय, मेटकाफ ने केब...

TYPES OF RAM AND ROM

TYPES OF RAM AND ROM  Common RAM Types  • SRAM       Static random access memory uses multiple transistors, typically four to six, for each memory cell  but doesn't have a capacitor in each cell. It is used primarily for cache. These types of memory are physically bulky and somewhat limited to its capacity.       In Static RAM, a form of flip-flop holds each bit of memory. A flip-flop for a memory cell takes four or six transistors along with some wiring, but never has to be refreshed. This makes static RAM significantly faster than dynamic RAM. However, because it has more parts, a static memory cell takes up a lot more space on a chip than a dynamic memory cell. Therefore, you get less memory per chip, and that makes static RAM a lot more expensive      Static RAM is fast and expensive, and dynamic RAM is less expensive and slower. Static RAM is  used to create the CPU's speed-sensitive cache, while dynamic RAM...
