Scan:- To convert text, photographs, and other images on paper into digital form for
storage within a computer system by using a scanner.
Scanner:- An electronic device that uses light-sensing equipment to scan paper
images such as text, photos, and illustrations and translate these images into
signals that the computer can understand and copy.
Screen Font:- The font that is displayed on your screen, which may approximate a
printer font so that documents look approximately the same on the screen as they do
when printed.
Screen Saver:- A moving picture or pattern that appears on your screen when you
have not moved the mouse or pressed a key on the computer for a specified period
of time. Screen savers prevent screen damage (burn-in) that is caused when the
same areas of light and dark are displayed for long periods of time.
Scroll:- To move through text or graphics (up, down, left, or right) in order to see
parts of the file or list that cannot fit on the screen.
Scroll Arrow:- An arrow on either end of a scroll bar that you use to scroll through
the contents of a window or list box.
SCSI:- Small Computer System Interface. One of the main interface standards used
for peripheral devices such as hard drives and CD-ROMS.
Search Engine:- An Internet tool used to find Web sites by keywords found in either
the site address or the site description.
Searchable Field:- Category of key information that can be searched in a database.
Searchable fields vary from one database to another.
Sector:- A numbered location on a disk that the operating system uses to keep track
of where files are stored.
Select:- To mark an item so that a subsequent action can be carried out on that

item in a menu. It gives you choices of options that apply to the item you are selecting
in the menu.
Subnets:- Logical divisions of a network into smaller subnetworks.
Surge Suppressor/Protector:- An electrical device that prevents high-voltage

operations like saving and printing.
System Disk:- A disk, either hard or floppy, which is bootable.
SYSTEM.INI file:- A Windows initialization file that contains settings you can use to
customize Windows for your system's hardware. It can be edited manually, but this
should only be attempted if you know what you are doing.
