SVGA/VGA Monitor
The monitor is an output device. This is also known as the screen display. You need
this to see the results of the computer operations and other information required from
the system. You will need a video cable to connect a monitor to your system. This is
usually supplied with the monitor.
There are monitors that come with video cable attached to the monitor. In such case,
just align the connector from the video cable to the VGA Port of your system. You can

cable to the VGA Port, connect the ot her end to the monitor.
Printer
The printer is another output device. You use t his t o pr ovide hardcopies of the
documentation required. T his is also called an LPT device, or, a parallel printer.
Parallel refers to the type of communication method used to transmit the signals
between your system and the printer. This type of transmission is faster, but is limited
by the distance of communicating devices.
