ABSTRACT

Printer is a tool that displays the data in printed form, either in the form
of text or images or graphics on top of the paper. Printer not be separated from
the computer for most major printeroperates based on the right systems of computers. Based
on the type of printer can be divided into three , namely, La ser-jet, Inket, and Dot-
matrix. Laser jet is a printer that has thatcapability most good in print either in the form
of images, graphics and text. Inkjet is a printer that most lots were used at the time of
this. Inkjet has good printing power but is not as good as a Laser-Jet printer. Dot-metrics
are printers that have low printing power. This printer only has one color, which is black. But
this printer is famous for its durability. In the process of printing the printer has
a section part which serves in the process of printing. The parts are arranged
in such a way that they can work according to their functions .
