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.

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: Fn key combinations

The Fn (function) is unique to TOSHIBA computers and is used in

combination with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key

combinations that enable, disable or configure specific features.

Emulation keys

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.

Press Fn + F10 or Fn + F11 to access the integrated keypad. When

activated, the gray keys with white numbers become numeric keypad keys

(Fn + F11) or cursor control keys (Fn + F10). Refer to the

Keypad overlay

section in this chapter for more information on how to operate these keys.

The power on default for both settings is off.

Press Fn + F12 (ScrLock) to lock the cursor on a specific line. The power

on default is off.

Press Fn + Enter to simulate Enter on the enhanced keyboard's numeric

keypad.

Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations.

Soft-key settings are not restored by the Standby feature.
