keyboard such as simple texts,

numbers, pictures and graphics.
It is similar to the television monitor.
System Unit
A system unit is the part of a
computer that houses the primary
devices that perform operations and
produce results for complex
calculations. This unit performs the
majority of the functions that a
computer is required to do.
Central Processing Unit

Data can change inside the computer. Like a cycle, it follows steps that
change an object to become a different form. This cycle is known as
IPO or the Input-Process-Output

Input is what goes in or what is given.
Process is what is done to the input. It is the actor or operation
Output is what comes out. It is the result when the input is processed.
Examples:

Special Keys
Enter
The Enter key is a very important key. It acts like the Return key on
a typewriter by starting a new line or moving to the next line. It is used
to do an instruction. ENTER also gives you a blank line.
Escape Key
The Escape key is used to cancel actions in progress before they
finish. It is also used to exit programs quickly.
69
Backspace
The Backspace key erases the character at the left of the cursor and
moves the cursor that direction, too. It is used to erase typing mistakes.
Delete
The Delete key is used to erase the character where the cursor is.
Any text beyond the erased character is moved to the left.
Caps Lock
When the Caps Lock key is on, pressing any alphabet key will result
in an upper case (capital) letter. The number and symbol keys are not
affected, however. For example, if you want to capitalize the name
maria santos, press the Caps Lock key first. Then, type the name.
Without pressing the Caps Lock = maria santos
Pressing the Caps Lock = MARIA SANTOS
Shift
70
The Shift key is used in combination with the alphanumeric keys to

get upper case. With a numeric or symbol key, using the Shift key will
give the character at the top of the key. For example, if you want to
capitalize the letter h, hold down the Shift key (don’t release yet) then
press letter j. This will give you H.
Spacebar
The Spacebar is used to enter blank spaces in text. Sometimes it
can also be used instead of a mouse click on buttons.
Tab
The Tab key is used to move the cursor in farther space than the
spacebar. It can make you move forward between buttons.

Look at the letters F and J on the keyboard. Notice that there are bumps
on these letters. The rows where these bumps are located are called
HOME KEYS, consisting of the following keys:
HOME KEYS are the keys where your fingers stay when they are not
working. Your fingers always go “home” to these keys when they are at
rest. To use the Home Keys do the following:
1. Place your left index finger #2 on letter F.
2. Place the rest of the three fingers on letters A, S and D. (pinkie

fingers #5 on A, ring finger #4 on S, middle finger #3 on D). This

The computer mouse looks like a real mouse with its short body and
long tail.
The moving object on the screen is called a mouse pointer. The

movement of the mouse pointer is controlled through the mouse.
The mouse is placed on a mouse pad. The mouse has two buttons, left
and right.
Most of the time you will click the left button to select objects. Usually
you select things with the mouse by clicking the left button twice. (You
can also click once and press the Enter key.
When you click the right button, a special menu is displayed with various
options you can select.

PROCESSING AND
OUTPUT DEVICES
Objectives:
At the end of this chapter, the student can:
1. describe the importance of CPU.
2. describe the functions of the monitor and printer.
3. enumerate the types of printer.
92
Lesson 9
THE SYSTEM UNIT AND CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
A system unit is the part of a computer that houses the primary devices
that perform operations and produce results for complex calculations.
This unit performs the majority of the functions that a computer is
required to do.
If it stands up tall, it is a tower case.
If it sits flat, it is a desktop case.
The CPU (also known as the Central Processing Unit) is the heart and the
brain of the computer system. It receives your command and acts on it.
When the computer system thinks, it uses the CPU.
The CPU is a processing device. It processes the information given by the
user. It directs and controls the
operations of the computer system.
Power button
93
The power button is located somewhere on the CPU, usually in the front
or on the side. You press this to start your computer. But do not press
the power button to turn off your computer unless nothing else works.
Activity 46. Connect the broken lines. Then color the System Unit with
your crayons.
Lesson 2
THE MONITOR
The Monitor of a computer is the device that looks much like a

television screen. It gives you a picture-view of what the computer is
doing.
The Monitor is an output device. It displays what you type on the
keyboard. It can show words, numbers and pictures.
94
Activity 47. Connect the dots. Then, color the monitor using your
favorite crayons.
Lesson 3
THE PRINTER
The printer is an output device. It transfers all your work onto a
paper.
95
It prints letters, numbers, symbols and pictures. The printer can

make an invitation cards, banner, poster and others.
There are three main types of printers: Laser printers, Ink Jet
printers and Dot matrix printers. They all write onto paper in different
ways.
1. Dot matrix printers – are one of the oldest styles of printers. Yet,
they are still in use today because they tend to last a long time. It is
a kind of printer that uses thousands of tiny dots on the page,
forming the dots into letters, words, and pictures. It is slow and
noisy when printing.
96
2. Inkjet printers – type printer that uses a jet of ink sprayed on the
paper to do the printing. It prints faster and quietly. The quality of
the printing is near letter quality. Graphics quality is also quite
good. Color printing is possible in ink jet printers by using a color
cartridge.
3. Laser printers – also create words and pictures out of thousands of

small dots. Instead of printing by putting ink, it uses static
electricity and a special ink, called toner. Laser printing gives very
good quality printing. It is becoming popular with publishers,
replacing their traditional printing machines.
97
Activity 49. Color the printer using your favorite colors.
98
Soft copy:
 Output that is displayed on the screen by other non-permanent

means.
 Output that you can see but you cannot touch.
Hard copy
 Output that is printed on paper or other permanent media.

 Output that you can see and you can touch.
99
Activity 50. What part of the computer is being described? Encircle the
correct picture.
1. It is the brain of the computer system.
2. It prints letters and numbers onto

paper.
3. It is your window to the computer.
4. It directs and controls activities of the

computer.
5. It displays what you type on the

keyboard such as letters, numbers and
symbols.
6. It can produce a birthday card and a

banner.
7. It is not an output device.
100
GOOD DEEDS
The computer system is composed of different parts. Each part is

very important. The computer will not function if one of the parts is
missing.

109
Parts of a Window
Quick Access Toolbar

Ribbon Tabs
Title Bar – It is located at the top of the window. It tells you what
program you are using.
Ribbon Tabs - It is a set of toolbars at the top of the window in Office
programs designed to help you quickly find the commands that you
need to complete a task.
Ribbon – It is the strip of buttons and icons located above the work area
110
Scroll Bar - a long thin section at the edge of a computer display by which material can be
scrolled using a mouse.
Work AreaIt is an area where you workon the computer, for example, the Desktop is considered
a work area. In a program such as a text editor, word processor, or spreadsheet where you are typing
the text in the window is considered the work area
Status Bara horizontal bar, typically at the bottom of the screen or window, showing
information about a document being edited or a program running.
Resizing and Maximizing a Window
The symbols on the bat above are found in the upper right-hand
corner of any window. They are used to control the windows you are
using: close them, resize them, hide them, etc.
These symbols mean:
Clicking on the minimize button in the upper right-hand corner of
the bar minimizes the window – that is, it makes the window smaller.
Clicking on the maximize button in the upper right-hand corner of
the title bar resizes the window (makes it larger).
111
If the window is not at maximum size, the symbol will appear as

two interlocking boxes. This is called the restore button which tells the
window to go back and forth.
Closing a Window
Clicking on the in the upper right-hand corner of the title bar will
close both the current document window and the program.
Opening Two or More Programs
Windows allows you to open two or more programs at the same
time. But you can only use one program at a time. The Minimize button
will help you in this situation.
Example:
You want to open Paint and WordPad at the same time. How do
you that? Follow the steps below:
Let us first open PAINT.
1. Click on Start Button.
2. Point on Programs.
3. Point at Accessories.
4. Click on Paint.
5. The Paint Window is now open.

Now, let us open WORDPAD.

6. Click on Minimize button of the Paint window.
7. Click on Start Button.
8. Point on Programs.
9. Point at Accessories.
10. Click on WordPad.
11. The WordPad window is now open.
113
In effect, you have two windows open. Since you are only
allowed to work with one window at a time, your screen will look
like this:
Notice that the PAINT window is minimized and can be seen in

the TASK BAR. The WordPad can be seen on screen.
To open the Paint Program, click on the small picture at the
taskbar.
You can minimize the Paint window by clicking on the
MINIMIZE button at the upper right corner of the window.
Once you click the Minimize button, the Paint program
window will turn into small picture in the Taskbar and the WordPad
program will be displayed.
114
Activity 51. Match column A with column B. Connect the dots to

name the button.
