The Keyboard

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.

Typewriter 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.
