Using the Keyboards
There are several keyboards available for the system unit. The keyboards have various
keys that enter data and control the cursor location. The keyboards can be engraved for
the languages of different countries.
The functions of each keyboard depend on the software used. The character sets for
the keyboards are contained and explained in the documentation for your operating
system.
The keyboard is divided into four sections:
v
Function keys are multipurpose keys and their function is controlled by the operating
system.
v
Typewriter keys are similar to a standard typewriter. Their function is controlled by
the software.
v
Control keys move the cursor on the screen and do programmed control functions.
The movement and functions depend upon the application used.
v
Numeric keypad is arranged like a calculator to help when typing numbers.
On all of the keyboards, you can adjust the tilt position for typing comfort. To tilt the
keyboard, pull out on the keyboard legs. The legs snap into position. To decrease the
tilt of the keyboard, rotate the keyboard legs until they snap into the bottom of the
keyboard case.
The keyboard cable plugs into the keyboard connector at the rear of the system unit.
