The key steps in the consensus building process using A3 reports are to: 1) develop your ideas, 2) draft a "tatakidai" document for input, 3) conduct "nemawashi" by sharing the draft with stakeholders, 4) write the final A3 report, 5) gain approval signatures on the report, and 6) inform others and implement the plan. Defining stakeholders, gathering their input, and addressing any objections or gaps are important parts of building agreement.
A printer is a hardware device that takes computer data and generates a hard copy. The most common printers are inkjet and laser printers. Printers provide convenience for marking up documents but have disadvantages like costs and environmental impacts. 3D printers can produce physical objects from digital designs while multifunction printers combine printing, scanning, and faxing. Different printer types use various technologies like lasers, LEDs, or thermal impact to transfer images onto paper.
This document provides an overview of different types of printers and plotters. It discusses the basic functions and workings of common printer types like inkjet printers, laser printers, and dot matrix printers. It also covers special printers like photo printers, portable printers, and dye sublimation printers. The document concludes by defining plotters and describing the three main types: drum plotters, flatbed plotters, and inkjet plotters.
Printers convert electronic documents into physical form by transferring text and graphics onto paper. There are two main categories of printers: impact printers that use mechanisms like pins to strike ink onto paper, and non-impact printers that use other methods like inkjet or laser printing. When evaluating printers, considerations include image quality, speed, initial cost, and operating costs of supplies. Common printer types include dot matrix, inkjet, and laser printers that vary in performance and cost. Plotters are specialized printers used for vector graphics that work by moving pens across paper.
The document provides an overview of the various types of printers, including dot matrix printers, inkjet printers, laser printers, all-in-one printers, photo printers, wireless printers, portable printers, and large format printers.

An office operator chair should have adjustable features to allow users to sit comfortably for long periods. Key adjustable features include: back height, backrest angle, seat angle, seat depth, arm rests, and lumbar support. When choosing a chair, consider the user's body measurements, the workstation layout, and maintenance/repair requirements.
Diaries are personal records of daily events and experiences that can provide historians with insight into past eras. A diary is a chronological record of the writer's life using daily entries. While some diaries were historically used for government or business records, modern diaries are more personal and intended to be private. Diaries differ from journals in that diaries contain daily entries while journals may have less frequent entries. Famous diaries that provide windows into history include Samuel Pepys' diary of 17th century English life and the Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, which details her experience in hiding from the Nazis.
The document discusses ways to reuse paper instead of recycling or throwing it away to reduce paper consumption and environmental impact. It recommends enforcing double-sided printing, sending documents electronically instead of printing, and using both sides of notepads by turning them over to get more use out of paper before recycling. Repurposing paper through reuse helps save resources and lowers costs compared to recycling or disposal.
To make great photocopies, select the appropriate paper type for the document and machine. Properly prepare documents by removing staples or tape and stacking papers neatly. Place documents face down on the copier glass or face up in the document feeder. Adjust the copier settings based on the document, such as using the photo setting for details or lightening dark text. Check for errors and adjust settings until the desired copy quality is achieved.
This document discusses safety ratings for safes. It explains that safes are rated based on their resistance to burglary tools like cutting torches, explosives, and hand/power tools. The most reliable rating system is performance ratings from independent labs like UL, which assigns codes designating the tools and length of time a safe can resist attack. Higher rated safes protect against more tools for longer periods. Fire safes also receive ratings from labs like UL based on the temperature and humidity they maintain for paper, electronics, or both. Proper selection depends on the contents being stored.

It provides steps for cleaning desktop and laptop keyboards, including shaking or using compressed air to remove crumbs without liquids, and cleaning individual keys with alcohol on a swab. Regular cleaning is recommended to remove food that could attract bugs.
Employee theft of office supplies is a problem for businesses that need to control costs. While some theft may seem minor, it can accumulate and impact the bottom line. There are various reasons why employees steal, including economic hardship, feelings of unfair treatment, or simply taking opportunities. To prevent theft, employers can implement a 10 step plan that involves examining supply processes for vulnerabilities, performing background checks, getting employee input, controlling purchase and distribution, storing supplies securely, creating clear policies, and leading by ethical example. The plan aims to create accountability and deter unnecessary spending.
The document discusses how lunchtime habits have changed in offices over the past few decades. Where workers once left their desks at 1pm to eat lunch together in the canteen, now many simply eat sandwiches at their desks while continuing to work through lunch. This erosion of the lunch break is problematic for worker well-being and productivity, as psychologists believe downtime is important. In fact, a campaign by BUPA called "Reclaim the lunch break" found companies could be losing £50 million per day in lost productivity from workers not taking breaks. Their research showed only 30% of staff now take a proper lunch hour, yet constant work without breaks may not be beneficial to health or productivity in the long run.
To make great photocopies, select the appropriate paper type for your document and machine. Prepare paper stacks neatly and place them correctly in the feeder or on the glass. Adjust settings like darkness, number of copies, and special features as needed. Avoid spots or smudges on original documents to ensure clear copies. Press the copy button and troubleshoot any errors that arise.
1. Facts about A3 paper--
Its size dimensions, usage and a bit of history
2. A3 paper is part of the ISO 216 standard used all over the world. It is one of
the more popular paper formats used internationally. The A3 paper is also
now supported by most printer and computer software programs.
3. The dimensions of an A3 paper are 297 × 420
millimetres or 11.69 × 16.54 inches.
In PostScript, its dimensions are rounded off to
842 × 1190 points. Its printing surface
including margins is 394 x 257 millimetres.
4. The ISO 216 standard is based on the principle that
when you fold any size paper in half it will still retain
its aspect ratio of the square root of two.
By cutting an A3 paper in half in its shortest side you
will produce an A4 paper. When you fold two A3
papers next to each in a spread it will result to an A2
paper.
The practical and aesthetic advantages of the square root of
2 aspect ratio for paper sizes were probably first noted by
physics professor Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, reinvented
over a hundred years later in Germany by Dr. Walter
Porstmann.
They were adopted as the German standard DIN 476 in 1922
to replace the huge variety of other paper sizes in use until
then, and to make paper stocking and reproduction methods
cheaper and more efficient.
5. The A3 paper format is used for activities in projects that need a large paper
space to write, draw or paste all the details. Many presentations, charts and
enlargements use A3 paper. It is also used by artists to render large drawings
and by architects to draw up their construction plans and structure outlines.
In the fashion world, designers use it to render their designs for clothes and
costumes with elaborate details. Some map makers also prefer A3 paper when
they want a map format that is neither too small to show streets nor too large
for the bearer to handle it easily and conveniently.
6. When printing a picture on A3 size, the image will need to meet a certain
minimum resolution
At 300 ppi the needed image resolution is 3508
x 4961 pixels. This is best for viewing images
on a close distance as in coffee table books,
calendars, magazines, brochures, etc. Photo
books on the same resolution will work fine
on a lower pixel count of 250. These
dimensions are acceptable for producing
good quality images.
At 150 ppi the pixel count has to be 1754 x
2480. This is ideal for viewing images on a
fairly short distance as in newspapers and
posters.
7. A digital camera that offers a decent image quality and
has a resolution of at least 8 or 12 megapixels can
already produce A3 size pictures of excellent quality.
