Although I do not consider myself an expert with technology, I do feel comfortable with my knowledge. If you have a good access point you should have no problems at all sharing multiple devices.
Monitors, Printers, NIC's, Hard Drives can be both, and optical drives.
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) cables are used to connect computers to certain devices such as hard drives, tape drives, printers, CD drives, and scanners.
In addition to printers, a network can share various resources such as files and folders through shared drives or cloud storage, enabling users to access and collaborate on documents. Other resources include internet connections, allowing multiple devices to access the web simultaneously, and applications or software that can be centrally hosted and accessed by network users. Additionally, networked devices like scanners, storage devices, and multimedia equipment can also be shared among users.
Some examples of peripheral devices that require regular maintenance are scanners, printers, speakers, and disk drives.
A computer network is a system that connects multiple computers and devices to share resources and information, allowing for communication and data exchange. Examples of peripheral devices include printers, scanners, external hard drives, and webcams, which can be connected to a computer or network to enhance its functionality and facilitate various tasks.
Devices commonly used with a computer are called peripherals. Items such as keyboards, mice, monitors, hard drives, and printers are examples of peripherals.
FireWire USB
•Input devices-Used to input data into the computer -Keyboards, mice, scanners, cameras, microphones, joysticks, touch pads, touch screens, fingerprint readers, etc. •Processing devices -Perform calculations and control computer's operation -Central processing unit (CPU) and memory •Output devices -Present results to the user -Monitors, printers, speakers, projectors, etc. •Storage devices-Used to store data on or access data from storage media -Hard drives, CD/DVD discs and drives, USB flash drives, etc. •Communications devices -Allow users to communicate with others and to electronically access remote information -Modems, network adapters, etc.
YES! Printers can have on-board hard drives. These hard drives can be used to get large amounts of data by malicious buyers of used printers. BEWARE of lawsuits! Court cases have been brought up against companies who violated hippa laws because they sold printers with hard drives in them and they did not know it. check google images for "printer hard drives". not to be confused with "printer networking cards" Most of the time there are thumb screws on the back where the connections are to remove these devices, and most printers i work with/dispose of do not contain hardrives. Take this last bit of information with a grain of salt and at your own risk!
Printers, Webcams, Graphic Tablets, Game controllers, some mice and keyboards, Flash drives... Basically anything.
The component that holds storage devices and openings for peripheral devices is called the computer chassis or case. It provides structure and protection for internal components, such as hard drives, SSDs, and the motherboard, while also featuring ports and slots for connecting peripherals like keyboards, mice, and printers. The chassis is designed to facilitate airflow, cooling, and ease of access for upgrades or maintenance.
A SCSI controller (pronounced 'Skuzee') - is used to enable a computer to 'talk' to peripheral devices - such as printers, flash drives, hard-disks etc.
