5 - Output: Other Devices 

Special tasks require special equipment.

There are a number of special-use output devices. More are announced every day. From recording earthquake tremors to displaying CT scans, from recording analysis in a sound studio to displaying metal fatigue in aircraft structures, we have more and more special tasks that use computers and thus require print or screen display.

Examples:

Data projectors Projects the image onto a wall screen	Microfilm (COM)   Computer Output Microfilm The computer directly generates the microfilm images.
Large Format Printers Used especially for building plans and engineering drawing and really large pictures. Plotters use a pen to draw continuous lines and are favored for engineering drawings, which require both large sheets of paper and precise lines.	Sound   Computers can output voice messages, music, data as sound. Of course you have to have speakers and a sound card.
