platesetter.
Plotters use ink and fine pens held in a carriage to draw very
detailed designs on paper. They are used for construction plans,
engineering drawings, computer-aided design, maps, and other
technical illustrations. Nowadays, traditional plotters are being re-

Finally, we have printers which can perform more than one
task. They are called multi-function printers because they can
work as a scanner, a fax and photocopier as well as a printer.
