Character keys

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 numeral 1 are not
interchangeable.

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

The

Caps Lock

key changes only the alphabet keys to upper

case—the number and symbol keys are not affected. The
light on the Caps Lock key glows when you press the

Caps

Lock

key.

Making your keyboard emulate a full-size keyboard

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

A standard full-size keyboard has two

Enter

,

Ctrl

, and

Alt

keys,

editing keys, cursor positioning keys, and a numeric keypad.
Pressing the

Fn

key simultaneously in combination with one

of the specially marked keys on your computer’s built-in
keyboard allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard.

NOTE: The emulation Fn key is not supported when using a USB
keyboard.
