Keys Descriptions
Escape key (1) The <Esc> (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.
Function keys (2) The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard are used to perform
designated tasks. For example, in many applications, <F1> is the Help key. The
tasks associated with each function key may vary from one application to the
other.
Print Screen key (3) The <Print Screen> key takes an electronic snapshot of the screen and moves
it to the Windows Clipboard. You can then paste the screenshot into a
document and print it.
Correction keys (4) The <Insert>, <Back Space> and <Delete> keys enable you to make
corrections.
Navigation keys (5) These keys enable you to move the cursor on the screen.
Application key (6)
The Application key displays a shortcut menu; pressing this key is equivalent

Numeric keypad area (7) Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the numeric keypad area
to type numbers or to perform mathematical calculations such as addition and
subtraction. Note that you must press the <Num Lock> key to activate the
numeric keypad. When you do so, the Num Lock light illuminates.
Operator keys (8-11-12) Several keys are always used with at least one other key: <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and

(Alternate) keys offer another way to execute commands. For example, in
many applications, instead of choosing the Save command from a menu, you
can hold down <Ctrl> and press <S> (referred to as <Ctrl>+<S>). The <Shift>
key is used to produce capital letters or special symbols such as @ and $.
