RESETTING CMOS PASWORD

1. Power down your computer:
Turn off the computer and
any attached devices, such as printers, monitors, and external drives. Unplug all
power cords from electrical outlets, and remove the cover.

2. Open the case and Locate CMOS Battery:

Open the
case of CPU and Locate the CMOS battery. The CMOS battery is round and
silver, much like a watch battery. Carefully remove it from its housing. Wait for
5-10 minutes so that all of the power stored in the capacitors on the
motherboard can discharge.

3.

Replace the battery:

All of the BIOS settings will be reset the next
time that you turn the computer on. You will need to reset the time and date in the
BIOS setup menu.

4. Set Date and Time:

Now from the BIOS you can set Date and Time
easily. After setting date and time you are good to go.

According to the author Peter Norton there
are four types of printer:
1. Dot matrix printer
2. Inkjet printer
3. Laser printer
1.

DOT MATRIX PRINTER:

Dot matrix printers are commonly used in workplaces
where physical impact with paper is important, such as when the user is printing
to carbon copy or pressure sensitive forms, these printers can produce sheets of
plain text quickly. They are also used to point very wide sheets, as data
processing departments often use when generating large reports with wide
columns of information.
The lowest resolution dot matrix printers have only nine pins; the
highest resolution printers have 24 pins. The slowest dot matrix printers create 50
to 70 characters per second; the fastest print more than 500 cps.

2. INJ JET PRINTERS:

Ink jet printers create an image directly on the paper by
spraying ink through tiny nozzles, the popularity of ink jet printers jumped
around 1990 when speed and quality improved and prices plummeted, today,
good ink jet printers are available for less than $100. These models typically
attain print resolutions of at least 300 dots per minute.
Color ink jet printers have four
ink nozzles: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. For this reason, they are sometimes
referred to as CMYK printers, or as using the CMY color process. These four
colors are used in all most all color printing because it is possible to combine
them to create any color.

3.

LASER PRINTERS:

Laser printers are more expensive than ink jet printers, their
print quality is higher, and most are faster, as their name implies.

Just as the electron gun in
a monitor can target pixel, the laser in a laser printer can aim at any point on a drum,
creating an electrical charge, toner, which is composed of tiny particles of ink, stick
to the drum in the places the laser has been charged =, then, with pressure and heat,
the toner is transferred off the drum onto paper. The amount of memory that laser
printers contain determines the speed at which documents are printed.
A color laser
printer works like a single-color model, except that the process is repeated four times
and a different toner color is used for each pass. The four color used are same as in
the color ink jet printer.
Single color laser printers typically can produce between 4 and
16 pages of text a minute. If you are printing graphics, the output can be a great deal
slower. The most common laser printer have resolution of 300 or 600 dpi, both
horizontally and vertically, but some high-end models have resolution of 1200 or
1800 dpi. Its difficult to detect the difference between text printed at 600 dpi and at
1200 dpi; the higher resolution is most noticeable in graphics reproduction such as
photographs and art work.
