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.
-
Spelling & Grammar Tool: Word automatically checks for spelling and grammar errors, indicated by wavy lines:
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.
