Introduction

• Each computer is different, so the buttons, slots, and sockets


will vary from computer to computer. However, there are
certain features you can expect to find on most desktop
computers. Being familiar with the names of each and how
they are commonly used will help you later on when you
connect a new printer, mouse, digital camera, or other device.

• On the back of the computer case are
connection ports that are made to fit specific
devices. The arrangement of these varies from
computer to computer, and many companies
have their own special connectors for specific
devices. Some of the ports may be color coded
to match a color on the device, which will help
you determine which port is used with a
particular device.

scanner, and copier.
Scanners

document and save it to your computer as a
digital (computer-readable) image.
Many scanners are included
as part of an all-in-one
printer, scanner,

communicate information from the computer
to the user. They allow you
to hear sound and music.
Microphones:

device that can record videos and take
pictures. It can also transmit video over the
Internet in real time, allowing you to do video
chat or video conferencing with someone in a

often in business, and they also help many
friends and families stay connected.
