RESPONSES
(a) (i) Ways of acquiring images in DTP:
  •  Scanning;
  •  Picture capture via camera;
  •  downloading;
  •  getting from secondary storage.
(ii) Layout guides
  •  Ruler guides: a ruler on the edges of the page that guides a user to position objects and resize them;
  •  Margin guides: used to define page margins so that the user will be prevented from placing objects in non-printable areas of the page;
  • Column guides: Vertical lines used to divide a page into two or more columns;
  •  Row guides: Lines used to divide a publication page into two or more section to help structure the layout;
  •  Snap points: Positions on the screen where the object is stuck on.
(b) Ways of ensuring accuracy of data during data processing
  •  Data is stored in secondary storage in such a way that access to it is controlled.
  •  Encrypting of data before it is transmitted to minimize chances of it being compromised during transmission.
  •  Use of validation methods to ensure that data is correct at the point of input.
  • Use of direct data capture methods which eliminates human errors.
  •  Use of verification methods.
(c) (i) Output device: A plotter because it prints large size drawings to high precision.
(ii) A CAD software because it facilitates in the design of engineering drawings.
