Features: This book is revised based on the planning teaching material for higher education institutions in electronic and information engineering, and the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" key teaching material of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, "Common External Devices of Microcomputers" (Third Edition). It elaborates on the basic concepts, composition and structure, working principles, as well as selection, usage, and maintenance knowledge of common external devices for microcomputers. The book is divided into six chapters, including Introduction, Input Technology and Devices, Impact Printers, Non-Impact Printers, Digital Magnetic Recording Principles, External Storage Technology and Devices, and Display Devices. It focuses on discussing the structure and working principles of commonly used external devices in microcomputer systems, such as keyboards, light pens, mice, scanners, magnetic card readers, touch screens, bar code devices, digital cameras, handwriting input boards, dot matrix printers, optical disc drives, (optical disc printers), laser printers, LED printers, plotters, projectors, floppy disk drives, hard disk drives, optical disc drives, optical disc recorders, CRT displays, flat panel displays, etc. The book pays attention to reflecting new technologies in the field of microcomputer external devices, such as scanning technology, disk array technology, and flat display technology. This book can be used as a teaching material for computer science and technology and related majors in higher vocational and technical colleges, and can also be referenced by engineering and technical personnel engaged in microcomputer work.
