Using the Keyboard
There are several keyboards available with 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. National languages
can be set through the Open Firmware Graphic Menu. For further information, please refer
to
Open Firmware System Menu
, on page 3-6.
The functions of each keyboard depend on the software used. The character sets for the
keyboards are explained in your operating system documentation.
The keyboard is divided into four sections:
Function keys
are multipurpose keys and their function is controlled by the operating
system.
Typewriter keys
are similar to a standard typewriter. Their function is controlled by the
software.
Control keys
move the cursor on the screen and do programmed control functions. The
movement and functions depend upon the application used.
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 the keyboard legs. The legs will snap into position. To decrease the tilt of
the keyboard, rotate the keyboard legs until they snap into the bottom of the keyboard case.
Note:
The keyboard plugged into the connector at the rear of the base unit, can be used
only with the system graphic monitor.
