Study Notes
Printer Technology
- Printing is achieved by deflecting a laser beam onto a photosensitive surface in Laser printers.
- Dot Matrix printers use a print head with pins striking an ink ribbon for character production.
Memory Concepts
- Main memory can be referred to as primary storage, internal memory, or primary memory.
- Flash drives are commonly known as pen drives; they are portable storage devices.
- Memory types can be categorized as volatile (e.g., RAM) and non-volatile (e.g., ROM).
Input and Output Devices
- The keyboard serves as a primary input device for computers, while monitors display output.
- Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors use an electron beam to create images on the screen.
- Ports are designated connections on a computer for accessories.
Shortcuts and Formatting in Software
- In MS-Excel, the shortcut Alt+= allows users to quickly create a formula for summing all selected cells.
- To hide an entire row, the shortcut is CTRL + 9.
Networking and OSI Model
- The Network layer is responsible for addressing and routing messages across different networks, while a Gateway operates on this layer.
- Multiplexing combines multiple input signals for efficient transmission.
Storage and Data Management
- Data Registers keep track of the next instruction to be executed, and the Program Counter also plays a pivotal role in instruction sequencing.
- Cache memory is faster than RAM and is used for short-term data storage, enhancing access speed to frequently used information.
Cybersecurity
- A Trojan horse primarily aims to steal sensitive information from computer systems.
Web and Internet Basics
- Websites consist of collections of web pages; the first page viewed is the home page.
- .com domains are typically used by for-profit businesses.
RAM and ROM
- RAM is volatile; it requires a continuous power supply to retain data.
- EPROM allows data to be erased using ultraviolet light and reprogrammed by the user or manufacturer.
Additional Facts
- The size of a computer's accumulator register is typically 5 bytes.
- Half-duplex systems allow communication in both directions, but only one direction at a time, exemplified by walkie-talkies.
