Plotter:
A plotter is a computer hardware device much like a printer that is used for printing vector graphics. Instead of toner, plotters use a pen, pencil, marker or other writing tool to draw multiple, continuous lines onto paper rather than a series of dots like a traditional printer. Though once widely used for computer aided design, these devices have more or less been phased out by wide format printers. Plotters are used to produce a hard copy of schematics and other similar applications.
