Printing
Despite the online nature of the world today, printing is still an important part of computer usage. This is still especially true in the world of business.

Printing Options
In this optional module, we explore more of the printing options that some apps offer. We’ll outline how you can tell your printer to print specific pages, print in a certain direction, and how to print multiple pages on a single page.

Storage Methods
In this last module, we will cover storage devices. These gadgets are essential tools to transfer information and keep our work safe.
