- Whenever positioned before your computer you can begin
- to properly keyboard only following a number of preparatory
- steps. These steps should be completed in a systematic and
- efficient manner. First, clear your desk of everything you
- do not need. Be certain the front edge of your keyboard is
- even with the edge of the desk. Consistently position copy
- on the right side of your keyboard, angled slightly towards
- you for easier reading. Check for all of the required work
- supplies including disks and related items. Always be sure
- the working area has ample lighting and proper ventilation.
- The monitor should be adjusted for tint and brightness
- to prevent eyestrain. Also, external light sources need to
- be controlled in order to eliminate screen glare. Prior to
- beginning any keyboard work make sure that the switches and
- power cords are properly positioned and secured. If any of
- your work is to be printed, preset the printer paper at the
- position indicated by the printer instructions. Check your
- printer ribbon to determine if it needs replacing. Many of
- the current keyboards can be adjusted to the vertical slant
- desired. Check your keyboard to see if it can be adjusted.
