CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Objectives of the Study The main purpose of the study is to create a machine that will be operated just like a vending machine but instead of sanitary supplies or beverages, it will give hard copies of documents needed by the user. The main objective of the proponents is to develop a Coin-Operated Public Printer that will be used by any individual who needs printouts of their documents. Other objectives of the proponents include, to create a user friendly printer that will be placed in the public, to design a machine that won’t occupy much space but is efficient and convenient.
Scope and Delimitations The study covers the basic usage of a printer, starting on transferring files to be printed up to getting the actual printouts. The Coin-Operated Printer accepts and prints only files whose extensions are .txt, .pdf or .doc. The file transfer is either via USB or Bluetooth and no editing will
