F1…F12 function keys
The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top
of your keyboard. These keys are dark grey, but function differently from
the other dark grey keys.

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the
Fn key, keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the
computer. See the section, Soft keys: Fn key combinations, in this chapter.
The function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are
using.
Soft Keys: Alt Gr Key Combinations
 
Alt Gr
The Alt Gr key, at the right of the space bar, is used in combination with
other keys to create accented or special characters (#,@,|, etc.). Note that
some of the keys at the top of the keyboard bear three symbols (not to be
confused with the blue or white letters on the side of some other keys). To
generate the third symbol, hold Alt Gr and press the key bearing the
character you wish to create. Please note that since the Alt Gr key is not
present on the American keyboard, it cannot be used if you have installed
an American keyboard driver in MS-DOS or Windows.
The Euro symbol
By pressing Alt Gr + (Alt Gr + 5, Alt Gr + 4 or Alt Gr + u on some
keyboards) you can generate the Euro symbol. Please note that only Arial,
Times New Roman and Courier New fonts of Windows 98 have the Euro
symbol implemented. Please look at Microsoft web pages for newer
patches and updates.
 You may need to update the fonts on your printer to be able to print the
Euro symbol properly.
