How do I use the mouse?
The primary mouse button is typically the left mouse button and the secondary mouse
button is typically the right mouse button . This can be reversed for left-handed individuals
through the control panel.
Point means you move the mouse across a flat surface until the mouse pointer rests on the
item of choice on the desktop.
Click means you press and release the primary mouse button. You must point to an item
before you click.
Right-click means you press and release the secondary mouse button. You will point to an
object on the screen prior to right-clicking. Whenever you right-click an object, a context-
sensitive, or shortcut, menu will display. The use of shortcut menus speeds up your work and
adds flexibility to your interface with the computer.
Double-click means you quickly press and release the primary mouse button twice without
moving the mouse. You must point to an item before you double-click. If you have problems
double-clicking, click once on the item (it should be highlighted) now pressing the Enter button.
This will accomplish a double click.
Drag means you point to an item, hold down the primary mouse, move the item to the desired
location on the screen, and then release the mouse button. You can move any open window to
another location on the desktop by pointing to the title bar of the window and dragging the
window.
Right-drag means you point to an item, hold down the secondary (right) mouse button, move the
item to the desired location, and then release the mouse button. It will usually prompt you for the next
step such as “move or copy object here”.
3. Scanner: The keyboard can input only text through keys provided in it. If we want to input a picture the keyboard cannot do
that. Scanner is an optical device that can input any graphical matter and display it back. The common optical scanner devices
are Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR), Optical Mark Reader (OMR) and Optical Character Reader (OCR).
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR): - This is widely used by banks to process large volumes of cheques and drafts.
Cheques are put inside the MICR. As they enter the reading unit the cheques pass through the magnetic field which causes the
read head to recognise the character of the cheques.
Optical Mark Reader (OMR): This technique is used when students have appeared in objective type tests and they had to mark
their answer by darkening a square or circular space by pencil. These answer sheets are directly fed to a computer for grading
where OMR is used.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR): - This technique unites the direct reading of any printed character. Suppose you have a
set of hand written characters on a piece of paper. You put it inside the scanner of the computer. This pattern is compared with a
site of patterns stored inside the computer. Whichever pattern is matched is called a character read. Patterns that cannot be
identified are rejected. OCRs are expensive though better the MICR.
