    Study Notes

    Introduction To Typography

    • Typewriters replaced handwritten documents and revolutionized information transmission.
    • Learning typewriting skills can lead to job opportunities like Junior Assistant, Computer Operator, Data Operator, Front Office Assistant, and Office Assistant.
    • Typewritten or computer-generated text is clearer and more legible than handwriting.

    The Typewriter

    • A typewriter is a machine that produces characters resembling printed matter.
    • Characters are printed onto paper one by one through a keyboard, using mechanical means.

    Computer Fundamentals

    • Optical Mark Recognition (OMR): Devices read pencil or pen marks on paper, often used for aptitude tests.
    • Bar Code Reader: Photoelectric scanners read bar codes, commonly used in stores and supermarkets.
    • Microphone (Mic): An input device that converts sound into digitized audio for computer processing.
    • Monitor: The primary output device that displays information, similar to a television screen. Types include CRT, LCD, Plasma, Touch Screen, and OLED.
    • Printers: Devices that print text and illustrations.
      • Impact Printers: Require physical contact between the print head and paper, such as line printers, drum printers, daisy wheel printers, and dot-matrix printers.
      • Non-Impact Printers: Do not have physical contact, like electromagnetic printers, thermal printers, electrostatic printers, inkjet printers, and laser printers.
    • Dot-Matrix Printer (DMP): Serial printers that form characters by firing pins against an inked ribbon, producing a pattern of dots on the paper.
    • Ink-Jet Printer: Character printers that spray small ink drops onto paper, capable of producing high-quality output.
    • Laser Printer: Uses a laser beam to form an image on a drum, attracting toner that is then fused onto the paper.
    • Plotter: Draws pictures using pens, producing continuous lines, often used in engineering applications.
    • Speakers: Output devices that convert electric signals from the sound card into audible sound.

    Ports

    • Ports: Connecting points for external devices to the computer.
    • Serial Ports (COM/RS232): Transfer data serially (bit by bit), often used for devices like mice, modems, and printers.
    • Parallel Ports: Send or receive data in parallel (8 bits at a time), commonly used for printers, scanners, CD writers, external hard drives, and tape backup drives.

    Computer Applications: Word Processing

    • Editing Text: Involves inserting, deleting, copying, finding, and replacing text.
    • Proofing Features: Assist in producing error-free documents.
      • Spelling & Grammar Tool: Word automatically checks for spelling and grammar errors, indicated by wavy lines:
        • Blue Line: Contextual spelling error.
        • Red Line: Typographical spelling error.
        • Green Line: Grammatical error.

    Word Processing Commands

    • Save As: Creates a copy of the document under a new file name.
    • Save: Saves the document in its current location with the same file name.
    • Insert Key: Toggles between Insert mode (inserts new text) and Overtype mode (replaces existing text).
    • Edit Menu: Provides access to editing commands like Insert, Delete, Copy, Paste, Cut, Find, and Replace.
    • Shortcut Icons: Provide quick access to common editing functions.
