Topic: TECHNIQUE DEVELOPMENT IN KEYBOARDING: THE TABULAR KEY
CONTENT: a. The Tabulator Key
b. The Margin Release Key
c. Typewriter Ribbon
SUB-TOPIC1 : THE TABULATOR KEY
This enables the carriage to move quickly to another position when operated or when depressed.
USES OF TABULATOR KEY
1. It is used for paragraph indentation
2. For typing column
TECHNIQUES OF USE
It is operated by setting the tabular key at a required position and when depressed, the carriage moves faster to a position where the stop is set. For example, let’s assume you want to set the tabular key at 10, all you need do is to tap the space bar ten times from the left margin. Then press the tabular stop, to stop it at 10 point. Thereafter, when the tabular key is pressed, the carriage will move to the point where the tab is set.
SUB-TOPIC 2 : THE MARGIN RELEASE KEY
This key is depressed in order to enable the keyboard type beyond the margin that has been set at both ends of the line. It is marked by a single or a double arrow-head on the keyboard.
SUB-TOPIC 3: TYPEWRITER RIBBONS
The typewriter ribbons enable impression to be made on the paper after striking a key. The ribbon is carried on two spools which winds automatically from one spool to another.
When a faint impression is noticed on the paper, a new ribbon must be placed.
TYPES OF RIBBON
There are many types of ribbon, but we will mention two: Monochrome and Bichrome Ribbon
a. Monochrome Ribbon: This has only one colour, usually black.
b. Bichrome Ribbon: This has a combination of red and black colours.
HOW TO FIX A TYPEWRITER RIBBON
The method of fixing a ribbon depends on the make of the typewriter. However, the following steps can be adopted
1. Remove the typewriter cover
2. Wind the old ribbon into the right-hand spool, in order to have one empty spool.
3. The ribbon carrier should be raised or locked by pressing down the shift-lock. Then set the ribbon control to enable you to type on the lower part of the ribbon
4. Remove the ribbon from the carrier and take off the spools.
5. Take the new ribbon and fasten the loose end of the ribbon to the empty spool.
6. Wind a little of the new ribbon on to the empty spool.
7. Put the spools in their places. Thread the ribbon indicator through the ribbon carrier
8. Release the shift lock. Return the ribbon indicator to enable you type on the top strip of the ribbon
9. Clean the keys often as this will make your work clean and clear.
EVALUATION
1. State the uses of
a. tabular key
b. Margin Release key
2. Mention four steps of fixing typewriter Ribbon
Topic: TECHNIQUE DEVELOPMENT IN KEYBOARDING: Line Space Regulator
CONTENT: 1. Line Space Regulator
2. Carriage ReturnLever
3. Dividing words at the end of a line
SUB-TOPIC 1: LINE SPACE REGULATOR
The line-space regulator is located on the carriage. It is used to control the spacing required between lines. It has three levels. The regulator may be set for single, double or triple. However, most typewriters have provision for half spacing.
PARTS OF LINE SPACE REGULATOR
1. When the regulator is set at 1, this is called Single-Line Spacing
2. When the regulator is set at 2, this is called Double-Line Spacing
3. When the regulator is set at 3, this is called Triple-Line Spacing
TECHNIQUES OF USE
a. When the line-spacing regulator is set at 1, the typed document looks like this:
b. When the line-spacing regulator is set at 2, the typewritten letters appear thus:
c. When the line-spacing regulator is set at 3, the typewritten document looks like this:
SUB-TOPIC 2: CARRIAGE RETURN LEVER: DESCRIPTION, USES, PARTS, TECHNIQUES OF USE
The Carriage Return Lever is used when a new line is to be started by turning up the typing sheet. The first finger of the left hand supported by the other fingers of this hand moves the carriage when this is to be achieved.
The Carriage Return Lever is marked with Letter D
USES
1. The Carriage Return Lever is used in turning up the typing sheet, when a new line is to be started.
2. It is used in moving the carriage to the right.
Teacher demonstrates the technique of usage to the students.
EVALUATION
1. Explain the uses of the Line-Space regulator.
2. When the regulator is set at 2, what do you call spacing line?
3. Explain the uses of Carriage Return Lever
SUB-TOPIC 3: DIVISION OF WORDS AT LINE END
When approaching the end of a typing line, a bell rings to indicate that there are only five or six spaces to the end of the line. A decision has to be made whether the word that is being typed or the next word to be typed can fit into the available space or not.
To divide a word at the end of a line, a hyphen must be inserted to indicate that a part of the word has been carried to another line.
HOW TO DIVIDE WORDS
1. Divide after a syllable i.e. according to pronunciation. E.g. Win-dow, Mar-ket
2. Divide after a prefix: E.g. pre-cede, im-port
3. Divide before a suffix: E.g. Watch-ful, use-less
4. Divide hyphenated word: E.g. co-operate
5. Divide words with double consonants in the middle: E.g. Bril-liant, suc-cess
6. Do not divide words of one syllable. E.g. come, help
7. Do not divide abbreviations. E.g. WASCE, OAU, UNN
8. Do not divide numbers or titles. E.g. 5,000, 200,000
ACTIVITY
Type the following words, putting hyphen where necessary: flourist, hectic, beneath, permit, reward, intelligent, relation, Excellent
