...HP Photosmart 5510 Series User Manual M. Raquel Medina ENG/221 August 14, 2012 Gregory Bontz Recently purchased, by the writer, was an HP All-in-One printer, scanner, and copier, the HP Photosmart 5510 series. A manual was provided in the boxed package but can also be viewed online at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02983578.pdf. The manual provides simplicity, clarity, attractiveness, organization and graphical illustrations. It is a well written instructional manual for users of any technical level, although the length of the document is a little too long. According to Don Norman, “People do not want to read manuals — they want to do their activity. Help them get right to work, with minimum reading” (Norman, 2012). At times a reader can become confused and frustrated with a user manual that is too big. Keeping the manual clear and simple is important. Simplicity • Positive: The HP Photosmart 5510 series user manual is made simple because of the shortness in its index. There are only nine major topics that are covered in the manual but these nine are the key points to operating the device. The manual has each topic linked to the page so a simple point and click gets you to the information needed. • Negative: The Technical Information portion of this manual was not easy to follow. Although, technical information is not the easiest to make simple. Clarity • Positive: Clarity is important when reading a user manual because your...

...Food Giant Standardizes on HP for Infrastructure of Champions HP success story One of the largest food companies in the world, General Mills has one of the lowest IT spends per revenue dollar in the consumer packaged goods manufacturing industry. The company, which has long pursued a strategy of IT standardization and consolidation, operates its entire global enterprise on HP systems — from the HP Integrity servers that run its SAP ERP and Business Information Warehouse, to the HP iPAQ Pocket PCs used by its retail salesforce. In addition to cost savings, the simplified infrastructure has enabled quick response to business change — most notably when General Mills acquired Pillsbury, a company of near equal size, and integrated it into its infrastructure in just 16 months. General Mills markets 100 of the world’s best-loved food brands, including Betty Crocker, Haagen-Dazs, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Old El Paso, Wheaties and Cheerios. It holds the No.1 or No.2 market position in virtually every category in which it competes. It also relies on a single vendor for its IT systems worldwide: HP. “We think that we’re extremely different in the way that we manage information systems at General Mills,” says Vandy Johnson, senior director of I.S. Operations, who oversees the $12.3 billion - dollar company’s business warehouse, data management, telecom, network, I.S. security, data center, and server and web infrastructure operations. General Mills operates the core of its business...

...professions and four computers. For the computers, I have chosen the Dell Inspiron Desk Top, the Hp Pavilion Slimline desk top, the Toshiba Satellite Laptop and the Hp Envy laptop. I have chosen author, educator and lawyer as my profession. I will pair the appropriate computer with its profession. An author may seem like they would not need much in the way of computers. Often times they do not even use computers to write, but instead prefer pen and paper. However, the work will have to put into a computer sooner or later. An author probably would not be in need for very much space. Their work will most likely be stored on portable storage devices so that they can transport it agencies. Because of this, I think that a suitable computer for an author would be the Toshiba Satellite laptop. It has memory and hard drive space, just not a lot. It is cheap and would serve its purpose for the author perfectly without having the extra features. Teachers and instructors have a little more of need for space. Again, however, they don’t need a lot. They would have to save their lectures and all their classwork saved on their computers as well as the students’ grades. All of this would indeed take up space, but not enough to warrant the extra money for the memory and hard drive. They would do just fine with the standard amount of space. For this reason, I suggest either the Dell Inspiron desk top or the Hp Envy series laptop. These...

...light at the end of the tunnel. HP has gone through 4 CEOs in 8 years which has caused changes in environment, culture, and the trust of stockholders and investors. However, current CEO Meg Whitman has a positive outlook. In the last year since her start with HP, she has implemented a four year restructuring plan. The restructuring plan will be discussed in detail in this paper as it is a vital part of Hewlett-Packards situation financially and in the Market.

Wal-Mart was a pioneer in this as no other company had this capability. He became CIO at Dell where helped he group 100 separate systems into a single data warehouse system. Mott started at HP in order to turn HP from the bloated leviathan it had become into a lean, mean, agile organization. He took several initiatives at HP. We are going to explore the initiatives taken at HP through the questions that we are answering for this case study. Questions we are trying to answer: 1. In what ways is Randy Mott trying to change HP’s structure and the way it works? 2. In what ways has he been trying to change HP’s culture? 3. Go to the internet and find some articles on HP recent performance. How have the changes he made affected HP’s competitive advantage and performance? 1. In what ways is Randy Mott trying to change HP’s structure and the way it works? Ans: HP worked in a decentralized manner, he is trying to centralizing the business. Making sure entire HP is working of a single set of data. He is also working towards cutting costs. Initiatives taken to achieve the same are: i. $ 1 billion 3 year project – to connect 85 loosely connect data centers into 6 centers (2 in...

...hard math problems and not the simple ones. Now a day, kids can’t even do simple math problems in their head. Then there is spell check on computers. Most teachers want everything typed now, therefore students can’t really learn if spell check gives them the answer. Kids won’t be able to develop with a lot of knowledge if they always depend on technology to do the thinking for them. The United States has become lazier and lazier as we find easier ways to solve our everyday problems. Studies have shown that television and video games are main reasons for obesity. Teenagers can’t seem to go anywhere without their cell phones in their hands either. No one really goes outside anymore because of the entertainment inside. It’s good that we have these advantages but we can’t take advantage of them. We got so used to the pampered life that technology gives us that we can’t simply get back to the “simple life”. One of the biggest sources of technology in the world is computers which brings along the internet. It provides a fast and easy way to get things done. Social networking sites allow people to meet. However, it’s better to start a friendship in person. Also, there are...

...All That Heaven Allows In the scene where Ron invites Carrie to the barn, it starts with her being very womanly, saying I hurried as fast as I could when you called. Sort of being at his beck and call. When they are entering the barn, they seem to be as their stereotypical genders would be. He is carrying firewood and she is just fawning over how wonderful the place looks since the last time she was there, and just how great his work is. She goes over to the window, which serves as a common ground sort of place in the scene where they are both equally lit up in the scenes lighting also signifying that they are equals. When he helps her with her coat that is a very manly gesture, but when she goes over to the couch and sits down, he helps her to take off her boots and I feel that this is somewhat of a shift of the stereotypical male action. I would think that it is a more womanly sort of thing to help their mate take off their shoes. Especially for the time the movie was made. Women helped their husbands take off their shoes after a long day at work. When she notices the teapot and how he put it back together I think that it introduces that teapot to signify his heart, his feelings for her. That it took days and days and days to find all the pieces, I think this is how he feels about her. That it has all come together and he realizes how he feels for her. Then when the scene shifts to them standing in front of the fireplace they are both equally lit up and he proposes...

...Organizational design refers to the way in which a company functions. Good organizational design aligns the company’s processes and management functions with its overall goals. Poor design can be most easily identified when a company utilizes traditional methods of organization rather than looking for innovative solutions. The most effective way to organize a company depends entirely upon the company’s specific needs, functions, and goals. When considering the best design, one must first define the purpose of the company. All other features of the company’s organizational methods should center around fulfilling this purpose. A company whose purpose is centered around helping others, for example, would need a very different design than a company that is technologically focused. If both companies were to utilize the same design principles, one or both would be operating well below their optimum potential. In addition to considering the purpose of the company, organizational design must also evaluate the skills and purposes of the individual employees. A creative company may thrive with a loose organizational system, ample opportunities for free brainstorming, and playful incentives. A company with more left-brained individuals may do better with a rigid, well-defined structure. Most situations will call for a unique blend of these methods. A company’s organizational design also serves to define the chain of command and division of labor within the group. It determines who...

The one or two areas of understanding or managing diversity in which I need more improvement are: The area of understanding or managing diversity that I need improvement in Minimizing miscommunication with diverse others because I am a person who thinks that going to seminar is not worth attending I assume that I already know enough which is a bad thing it is good to always try to learn more about your career that way not only are you growing your company is growing as well. 3.) If I did only one thing to improve in this area, it would be: I would consider going to monthly classes or maybe going to one every three months that way I can keep myself updated and informed further more I not only learn 4.) Making this change would probably result in: Making this change would result in me bettering myself in managing becoming a better frontrunner means a better team if I go on the limb...

...The Fear (The major point of my paper is about the fear that people feel when they try to change and what they should do to overcome the fear.) Thesis Statement: As we see the characters, Wallace and Ronald Pryzbylewski in the Wire, overcoming fear can be a first step to change. (Introduction: This paragraph explains what I will cover in my writing.) People do not change easily. Many people fall in love with similar people and hurt because of similar reasons. They recognize their mistakes, but make the same mistakes over and over again. Why? One reason is they are doing it wrong. But another reason runs deeper. They are afraid to change. The decided personality is not changed easily like the foot stamp on the wet cement. Although the reasons for resisting change can be external and situational, I claim that the most damaging fears are internal because the individual is with the problem and situation. As we see the characters, Wallace and Ronald Pryzbylewski in the Wire, overcoming fear can be a first step to change. Four of the most prevalent common fears are: fear of failure, fear of success, fear of criticism, and fear of the new thing. (Give two examples that whether overcome the fears or not. These three example paragraphs show how they overcome the fears and how to change or not.) Here are examples from the Wire, the TV show. One is the person who overcome the fear, Ronald Pryzbylewski, and another is the person who does not overcome the fear, Wallace. Pryzbylewski...

...Learning effectively through methods There are many process that we all go through in order to learn. Everyone one is different, everyone has a unique way of learning or multiple ways of learning. It is very common for someone to have multiple ways of learning. I’m going to describe how as a student, I go about learning. One of my many ways of learning would be repetition. I am a visual learner who benefits from seeing things repeatedly; namely, I learn successfully from being able to have a visual representation to which I can refer to. However, my ideal ways of learning would have to be repetition, visualizing, and kinesthetic learning style. For me repetition is very useful when trying to retain information. Repetition emphasizes many aspects. For example; if I need to remember a very difficult word, I would repeat the word three times or more to be able to retain the word in my head. Sometimes when I’m trying to retain too many words all at once, I forget some of the words in the process. Also repeating sentences works as well too. By the way, this method may not work for everyone, it all depends on the person. Repetition is a very common technique known to everyone and may be used by anyone who chooses to. On the other hand, everyone has use repetition once or multiple time in their life whether they know it or not. For example, when I was young I would keep trying to learn how to ride a bike. No matter how many times I fail down I kept trying until I succeed, this is...
