In a data entry job, the computer user concentrates more on looking at the source document, with only brief glances at the monitor. Frequently the data input is numerical in nature. The keyboard placement and the use of document holder are important. For data entry, it is best to place the keyboard directly in front of the keying hand and leave a large area free for the activity of the other hand. There should be sufficient work surface space to perform these tasks.
