HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING MATERIAL

Welcome!
The unit of competency, “Perform Computer Operation” is one of the competencies
of Computer Systems Servicing NC II, a course that comprises the knowledge, skills
and attitudes required for a graduate of this course to possess.
The Module, Performing Computer Operation, contains training materials and
activities for you to complete.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete
each learning outcome of the module. In each learning outcome, there are
Information Sheets, Self-Checks and Job Sheets. Follow these activities on your own
and answer the questions that are given. Then, ask for the answer key from your
instructor and check your work honestly. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate
to ask your facilitator for assistance.
This learning material was prepared to help you achieve the required
competency in Performing Computer Operation. This will be the source of
information for you to acquire the knowledge and skills in this particular module
independently and at your own pace with less supervision.
In doing the activities to be completed as required in this module, please be guided
by the following:
Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize in taking this module.
Read through the module carefully.
Work through all information and complete the activities in each section. Read the
information sheets and complete the self-checks provided.
Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor or manager. He/she is there
to support you and show you the correct way to do things. Ask for help.
Your trainer will tell you about the important things you need to consider when you
are completing the activities and it is important that you listen and take notes.
You will be given plenty of opportunities to ask questions and practice on the job.
Make sure to practice your new skills during regular work shifts. This way you will
improve both your speed and memory and also your confidence.
Use the Self-Check, and Task Sheets at the end of each section to test your own
progress. Use the performance Criteria Checklist or Procedural Checklist used after
the sheet to check your own performance. When you feel confident that you have
sufficient knowledge and skills, ask your instructor to evaluate you. The results of
your assessment will be recorded in your Progress Chart and Accomplishment
Chart.
You need to complete this module before you can perform the next common
competency module.

Introduction

computer operations which include inputting, accessing, producing and transferring
data using the appropriate hardware and software.

How to Print File

Printing Document
Steps
1. Open a program that allows you to insert text into a document or get on the
internet.
2. If you were to open a program, you would need to type text into the
document. If you were to get on the internet, you could skip to step 7.
3. After you have typed text into the document, you need to locate the menu
bar, click on file, then point to print.
4. Click on print.\
5. When the print dialog box appears, select the printer you want to use (if it is
not already selected) and select the number of copies to print.
6. Click OK.
7. If you were to print a page or pages from the internet, follow steps 3, 4, 5,
and 6, except you don't have to type text into a document to print.

Printing Spreadsheet

1. Format your spreadsheet the way you want to see it printed. Add borders and
shading as necessary to your tables and adjust column widths so your data
fits without overlapping. The better job you do preparing your spreadsheet
from the beginning, the easier it will be to print. Include features like headers
and footers to ensure all the necessary information will be on the printout.

2. Change the screen view from normal mode to print view mode. For Microsoft
Excel, click "View" on the menu bar and then click "Page Break Preview."
Other spreadsheets will likely have a similar process. If not, go to the "Print
Preview" page and, if necessary, turn on the margins by clicking the
appropriate button--usually "Margins."
 3. Adjust the page breaks or margins by clicking on them and dragging them in
the direction you want them adjusted. Sometimes, the scale will automatically
adjust to fit your new margin or page-break definitions. If not, you will have to
do it manually.

4. Go to your spreadsheet's "Page Setup" function, usually in the "File" menu, if

you must manually adjust the scale. There are three types of adjustments you
may see. The first option is to choose between "Landscape" and "Portrait."
The former is better for wide, continuous spreadsheets, while the latter is
good for narrow or limited-length tables. The second adjustment is to fit the
spreadsheet to a set number of pages in length and in width. The scale is
automatically adjusted to meet the criteria you define. The final option is to
choose a percentage adjustment from the original size. This can work to
enlarge or reduce the final printout.

5. Click the "Print" button on the toolbar once all of the adjustments are made.
There is no way to determine exactly how the spreadsheet will look when it is
finally on paper, so you may have to go back and fine-tune some of your
adjustments in order to print out a copy that is professional and readable,
especially for extremely wide or complex spreadsheets.

Printing Slides in Power Point

Set the slide size and orientation for printing

To change your printing options, do the following:

On the Design tab, in the Page Setup group, click Page Setup.

In the Slides sized for list, click the size of paper on which you will be printing.

 NOTES 

 If you click Custom, type or select the measurements that you want in

the Width and Height boxes.
 To print an overhead transparency, click Overhead.

To set the page orientation for the slides, under Orientation, under Slides,

click Landscape or Portrait.

 NOTE    By default, PowerPoint slide layouts appear in landscape orientation.

Although you can use only one orientation (either landscape or portrait) in a
presentation, you can link two presentations to display both portrait and landscape
slides in what appears to be one presentation. For more information, see Use portrait
and landscape slide orientation in the same presentation.
 TOP OF PAGE
Print the slides

Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Print.

In the Print dialog box, under Print range, do one of the following:
To print all slides, click All.
To print the slide that is currently displayed, click Current slide.
To print one or more slides that you selected, click Selection.
To print specific slides numbers, click Slides, and then enter the slide numbers or
ranges in the adjoining box.
Under Copies, enter the number of copies that you want.
Under Print What, select Slides.

 NOTES 

 For information about printing handouts, see Create and print handouts.

 If you select Outline view, PowerPoint prints only the text of your slides (as it
appears in outline view) and none of the graphics or animation.

Under Color/Grayscale, click one of the following:

Color     If you print to a color printer, this option prints in color.
Color (On Black and White Printer)    If you print to a black-and-white printer, this
option prints in grayscale.
Grayscale    This option prints images that contain variations of gray tones between
black and white. Background fills are printed as white, so that the text will be more
legible. (Sometimes grayscale appears the same as Pure Black and White.)
Pure Black and White     This option prints the handout with no gray fills.
To increase resolution, blend transparent graphics, and print soft shadows in your
print job, select the High quality check box.

 TIP    When you print in high quality, it may take longer for your presentation to
print. To prevent a possible decrease in your computer's performance, clear
the High quality check box after you finish printing.
To print your slides on the paper that you selected for your printer, select the  Scale
to fit paper check box.
To print a thin border around your slides, select the Frame slides check box.
Click Print.

 NOTES 

If you want to reset the print options and keep them as your default settings, do the
following:

1. Set the settings as you want them in the Print dialog box.

2. Click the Microsoft Office Button , click PowerPoint Options, and then

click Advanced.
3. Under When printing this document, click Use the most recently used
print settings.

If you are creating transparencies for an overhead projector, see Set the slide size
and orientation for printing. PowerPoint automatically optimizes your slides for either
black and white or color printers.
