F1 … F12 function keys
The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top
of your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from
the other dark gray keys.
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: Alt Gr Key Combinations
Alt Gr
The Alt Gr key, at the right of the space bar, is used in combination with
other keys to create accented or special characters (#,@,|, etc.). Note that
some of the keys bear three symbols (not to be confused with the blue or
white letters on the side of some other keys). To generate the third
symbol, hold Alt Gr and press the key bearing the character you wish to
create. Please note that since the Alt Gr key is not present on the
American keyboard, it cannot be used if you have installed an American
keyboard driver in MSDOS or Windows.
The Euro symbol
By pressing Alt Gr + e (Alt Gr + 5, Alt Gr + 4 or Alt Gr + u on some
keyboards) you can generate the Euro symbol. Windows 98 and
Windows 2000 support the Euro symbol natively. On Windows NT, only
Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New fonts have the Euro symbol
implemented. Please look at Microsoft web pages for newer patches and
updates.
You may need to update the fonts on your printer to be able to print the
Euro symbol properly.
