which of the following is not a type of printer

 

A) Inkjet printer

B) Laser printer

C) Line laser printer

D) Cloud-enabled color multifunctional machine with scanner and copier functions.

C. Line laser printers are rarely used for personal printing and are mainly for large industrial operations, such as packaging.

A) INKJET PRINTER

An inkjet printer uses small nozzles to squirt ink onto a rotating flatbed of paper to form letters, images, and graphics. The method of delivery of ink from the nozzles to the page is called drop-on-demand technology. Inkjet printers were first used in the mid-1980s for high-speed printing of graphical images on paper. The first generation printers would take 8–15 seconds to print an image (as opposed to typewriter ribbon images which took 5 milliseconds), and were often capable of only three colors or shades of gray, but they offered a level of quality that was considered revolutionary at the time. By the 2000s, solid ink printers were available that could produce high-quality color prints on paper without ever needing to use ink cartridges. One application of solid ink technology is in fast printers used in retail checkout counters and industrial applications such as point-of-sale terminals.

B) LASER PRINTER

A laser printer is a computer printer that uses a laser (electromagnetic radiation) to produce images on plain paper. Depending on the device, it can print text or images, in black and white or color. The typical laser printer can print up to around 6000 pages per month, with a resolution of 600 dpi (35 dots per mm). In the early days of laser printers the technology was expensive, but over time it has become much more affordable.

C) LINE LASER PRINTER

Line laser printers are almost nonexistent. These printer were once very common in small businesses because it was drastically faster to use than a standard dot-matrix printer, but as of 2009 they were being phased out in favor of inkjet printers. A laser printer does not need a power cord because the paper is electrostatically charged for continuous paper feeding and the toner cartridge needs to be changed only when it is empty. For these reasons, line printers are much less expensive to purchase and operate than other types of printers. Line printers can also be specified to produce only black and white or only color output.

D) CLOUD-ENABLED COLOR MULTIFUNCTIONAL MACHINE WITH SCANNER AND COPIER FUNCTIONS

"The Cloud-enabled Color Multifunctional Machine with Scanner and Copier Functions", sometimes abbreviated to "CMMSCF" by Amazon reviewers, is a device that was marketed by Amazon in early 2012. It is a network-connected multifunctional device that includes the functions of a photocopier, copier, scanner, and fax machine. CMMSCF is an electronic device which has been manufactured by Cloud Technologies of New Jersey, USA which sells its devices under the brand name "Amazon Cloud". CMMSCF is considered a multifunctional machine because it allows people to use multiple functions at the same time. Although Amazon states this device has some photocopying capabilities, it does not meet standards for a photocopier. Online reviews published in late 2012 suggest that CMMSCF will not print high quality documents. The device has a much larger screen than most other network-connected multifunctional machines, but reviewers suggest that this may cause other problems with the device.
