Computer Questions

IEEE 1284 is a standard that govern parallel communications.

• IEEE 1284 is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices.

• It was originally developed in the 1970s by Centronics, and was widely known as the Centronics port, both before and after its IEEE standardization.

The speed of an inkjet printer is determined mostly by the make and model of the printer, the quality of printing, and the complexity of the image. The quality of the paper, the cost of the cartridges, and the size of the power supply do not affect the speed of printing.

Main memory works in conjunction with CPU.

Encoding refers to the getting information into memory.

Here Joystick, Mouse and Scanner are Input devices through which data is given to the computers. But Headphones are output devices through which sound comes as an output from the computer or any devices.

DRAM is a Volatile random-access memory (VRAM).

Volatile random-access memory (VRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned on.

Examples of volatile memory are primary storage (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM).

Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off.

Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (used as secondary memory) and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory (used for storing firmware such as BIOS).
