Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a 
typewriter, except that: 

❖

The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing 
over an area of the page.

❖

The lowercase letter l (el) and the number 1 are not 
interchangeable.

❖

The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not 
interchangeable.

Although your computer’s keyboard layout is compatible with a 
standard full-size keyboard, it includes fewer keys. 

A standard full-size keyboard includes two 

Enter

, 

Ctrl

, and 

Alt

 keys; 

editing keys; cursor positioning keys; and a numeric keypad. 

Your computer’s keyboard includes only one 

Enter 

key. Most of the 

time, this does not matter. However, some programs assign separate 
functions to the regular and numeric pad 

Enter

 keys on the full-sized 

keyboard. Using the 

Fn

 key, you can simulate the separate key, as 

follows: Press 

Fn

 and 

Enter

 simultaneously to simulate the 

Enter

 key 

on the numeric pad of the enhanced keyboard. Pressing the

 Fn

 key 

simultaneously in combination with one of the specially marked 
keys allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard. 

The 

Ctrl

, 

Fn

, and 

Alt

 keys do different things depending on the 

program you are using. For more information, see your program 
documentation.

The function keys (not to be confused with the 

Fn

 key) are the 12 

keys at the top of the keyboard.
