Week 5 assignment
These are some pictures
of HP printer user manual. I have been using this printer for five
years!
Features
of HP DeskJet Printer Manual
This manual consists of fifty-four
pages, explains in details how to use HP DeskJet 2050 All-in-One printer. from
the first look, you can see that it's easy to navigate because it has an index
to show the contents. in addition, it contains visuals, tables, lists, as shown
in the pictures above.
All the paragraphs are chunked into discrete, digestible
units. As you can see, there are seven
basic paragraphs after that the discrete units of each one and each unit is
chunked into smaller parts. For example, the first paragraph is 1-Get to know
the HP All-in-One which forms the introduction then the discrete
units are: Printer parts, Control panel
features, Status Lights. The paragraphs from 2 until 6 are
the body of the instructions. The last paragraph is the conclusion.
Headings are used but
they are in brief statements format.
They are clear, concise, and accurate, you can know exactly what to expect in
the section that falls under the heading. Each heading is labeled with number
and different color to signal for a paragraph. Also, each heading has several
subheadings for more details and clearness.
The material is sequenced
in a chronological way. For example: in the second paragraph 2-Print you
can easily see numbered lists and bullet
lists of instructions you can follow to print a document , a photo or a
envelope. In addition, you can see visual
elements ( photos, drawings ) for more guiding.
All of the paragraphs
include topic sentences and they are
unified and coherent. You can easily get the main idea of a paragraph by reading the
topic sentence. in addition, every sentence
directly expand on the topic sentence and all of the sentences are in the
correct order and have a linked, related ideas.
Eventually, this effective instructions are
pleasure to work with because they help people do what they want to do through
chunking, using headings, sequencing, topic sentences, unity and coherence .
Without any frustration that often causing people to return the product and to
have a second thoughts about purchasing this brand in the future.
