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 grey keys.
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12
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 + e ( 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.
