Magnetic Ink Character Recognition ( MICR )
this is used widely in the banking world. this technology is used to process cheques. the input the information,such as the account number on the cheque, for the computer to process.
Optical-Character Recognition ( OCR )
the mechanical or electrical images translation of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-editable text. it is also a way for text being inserted to a computer by means of a document reader. First a digital image of the text is produced by the scanner; then this character-recignition software makes use of stored knowledge regarding the shapes of individual characters to convert the digital image to a set of internal codes that can be stored and processed by a computer. OCR originally required specially designed characters but current devices can recognize most standard typefaces and even handwriting
Optical-Mark Recognition ( OMR )
process of capturing human-marked data from document forms such as surveys and tests.
preprinted onto 'transoptic' paper and measure the amount of light which passes through the paper, thus a mark on either side of the paper will reduce the amount of light passing through the paper.
One of the most familiar applications of optical mark recognition is the use of #2 (HB in Europe) pencil bubble optical answer sheets in multiple choice question examinations. Students
optimized for computer scanning, with careful registration in the printing, and careful design so that ambiguity is reduced to the minimum possible
extracting intended data from marked fields, such as checkboxes and fill-in fields, on printed forms.
Dot Matrix Printer
type of computer printer with a print head that runs back and forth, or in an up and down motion, on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter
printing involves mechanical pressure, these printers can create carbon copies and carbonless copies
type of printer that produces characters and illustrations by striking pins against an ink ribbon to print closely spaced dots in the appropriate shape. Dot-matrix printers are relatively expensive and do not produce high-quality output. However, they can print to multi-page forms (that is, carbon copies), something laser and ink-jet printers cannot do.
Plotter
a vector graphics printing device to print graphical plots, that connects to a computer
Pen plotters print by moving a pen across the surface of a piece of paper
A device that draws pictures on paper based on commands from a computer. Plotters differ from printers in that they draw lines using a pen. As a result, they can produce continuous lines, whereas printers can only simulate lines by printing a closely spaced series of dots. Multicolor plotters use different-colored pens to draw different colors
Photo Printer
A photo printer is a printer (usually an inkjet printer) that is specifically designed to print high quality digital photos on photo paper.
A printer which uses an ink ribbon and heat to transfer (vaporize) the ink to the dedicated paper
Portable Printer
Fax Machine
technology used to transfer copies (facsimiles) of documents, especially using affordable devices operating over the telephone network.
A device which scans, transmits, receives and prints documents (faxes) transmitted by telephone
A device that allows the user to fax information over a communication line.
A fax machine is essentially an image scanner, a modem, and a computer printer combined into a highly specialized package.
a machine capable of sending and receiving text and pictures along phone lines
Multifunctional Device
machine which incorporates the functionality of multiple devices in one, so as to have a smaller footprint in a home or small business setting (the SOHO market segment), or to provide centralized document management/distribution/production in a large-office setting. A typical MFP may act as a combination of some or all of the following devices:
Printer
Scanner
Photocopier
Fax
E-mail
Internet telephones
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a general term for a family of transmission technologies for delivery of voice communications over IP ...
A telephone or telephone system that uses the internet to transmit all or just a proportion of a call.
A category of hardware and software that enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls. For users who have free, or fixed-price Internet access, Internet telephony software essentially provides free telephone calls anywhere in the world. To date, however, Internet telephony does not offer the same quality of telephone service as direct telephone connections.
