Compaq Presario EZ Series - Manual (Page 19)

2-8 Features of Your Internet PC
The Internet keyboard offers two USB connectors. Typically, your Compaq USB
scroll mouse will be connected to one, leaving the other open for low-powered
devices, such as a joystick or gamepad. High-powered devices or devices requiring
external power, such as cameras and scanners, should be plugged into one of the USB
connectors on the computer instead of the keyboard.
The Basics of
Keyboarding The standard keyboard has four major types of keys:
◆ main keys (typewriter-style)
◆ function keys (F1 through F12)
◆ arrow keys (
← → ↑ ↓)
◆ numeric keys (calculator-style)
Some keys have special functions when used either alone or combined with other
keys. The functions may vary depending on the programs you are using. Refer to
Help to learn how these keys can be used in combination with other keys to develop
shortcuts in your programs.
