The Keyboard

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 function differently from other 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. Refer 

to the section, 

, in this chapter. The function 

executed by individual keys depends on the software you are using. 

Soft keys: Fn key combinations 

The Fn (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. 

Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific 

features. 

Emulating keys on enhanced keyboard 

The keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 101-key 

enhanced keyboard, shown in figure above. The 101/102-key enhanced 

keyboard has a numeric keypad and scroll lock key. It also has additional 

Enter and Ctrl keys to the right of the main keyboard. Since the keyboard 

is smaller and has fewer keys, some of the enhanced keyboard functions 

must be simulated using two keys instead of one on the larger keyboard. 
Your software may require you to use keys that the keyboard does not 

have. Pressing the Fn key and one of the following keys simulates the 

enhanced keyboard's functions.
