Placement of the computer

Proper placement of the computer and external devices is
important to avoid stress-related injuries. Consider the following
when placing your computer.
Place the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height


and distance. You should be able to type without twisting your
torso or neck and look at the screen without slouching.
If you use an external monitor, the top of the screen should be


no higher than eye level.
If you use a paper holder, set it at the same height and distance


as the screen.
