Chapter 7 Peripheral Devices Hewlett-Packard designs and manufactures a very broad range of computer peripherals to meet the needs of all HP computers. HP has long had a reputation in the industry for excellence in computer peripheral products. Hewlett-Packard is a leader in printers that use laser-scanning technology. These microprocessor-controlled printers provide advanced printing capabilities such as electronic forms, multiple fonts per page, high resolution, and type size variations. A wide range of impact printers are also available. HP's backup devices, digital data storage (DDS)-format tape drives, the Rewritable Optical Disk Library System, and 1/2-inch magnetic tape are technological leaders offering ideal backup solutions for all sizes of systems. Combined with HP TurboSTORE/XL backup software, HP provides high-performance online and/or unattended backup for all 900 Series systems. In addition to providing secure data storage, these backup devices save valuable floor space and improve operator efficiency. HP has combined thin-film technology for heads and media with eight generations of disk drive design and manufacturing to produce a series of disk drives with superior performance, very low cost-per-megabyte of storage, and industry-leading reliability. High-density data storage and compact size provide the ideal storage systems for a wide range of multiuser computer systems. HP's personal computers -- the IBM-compatible HP Vectra PC family -- provide a broad range of personal computing solutions and extend the power of the HP 3000. HP's terminals combine quality ergonomic design with high-productivity features such as forms caching and block-mode operation.
