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 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.
