Review Q's:

7.)Nonimpact printers such as laser and ink-jet printers are quiet and provide high-quality output when compared to impact printers. Nonimpact printers, however, are not appropriate for use with multipart forms.


8.)Modems both send and receive information and are, therefore, both input and output devices. Touch screens provide another example. Users provide input by touching the screen and the screen displays information to the user, providing output.

9.)Random access means that any location on the media may be accessed at any time. RAM, hard disks, various diskettes, magneto-optical cartridges, and CD-ROMs are examples. Information stored on media such as tapes may only be accessed sequentially.Tapes are often used for making backups of data and are often considered more secure than many types of diskettes and cartridges.
