The computer’s keyboard layouts are compatible with a 101/102-key 
enhanced keyboard. By pressing some keys in combination, all the 
101/102-key keyboard functions can be executed on the computer. 
The number of keys on your keyboard depends on which country/region’s 
keyboard layout your computer is configured with. Keyboards for 
numerous languages are available. 
There are five types of keys: typewriter keys, keypad overlay, function 
keys, soft keys and cursor control keys. The typewriter keys and keypad 
overlay keys are grey. The other keys are dark grey. 

The typewriter keys, produce the upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, 
punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen. There 
are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and using a 
computer keyboard: 

■ 

Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. 
Spaces, which are created by a space character may also vary 
depending on line justification and other factors. 

■ 

The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on 
computers as they are on a typewriter. 

■ 

The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable.  

■ 

The Caps Lock function key locks only the alphabetic characters in 
uppercase while the shift lock on a typewriter places all keys in the 
shifted position. 

■ 

The Shift keys, the Tab key, and the BkSp (backspace) key perform 
the same function as their typewriter counterparts but also have 
special computer functions.
