Carvin S400 manual Using the Keyboard, Typewriter Keys, Cursor-Control Keys

Using the Keyboard

Your keyboard has all the standard functions of a full-sized computer keyboard plus an Fn key added for specific functions.

The standard functions of the keyboard can be further divided into four major categories:

zTypewriter keys

zCursor-control keys

zNumeric keys

zFunction keys

Typewriter Keys

Typewriter keys are similar to the keys on a typewriter. Several keys are added such as the Ctrl, Alt, Esc, and lock keys for special purposes. When the lock keys (Caps Lock and Num Lk) are pressed, their corresponding indicators light up.

The Control (Ctrl) / Alternate (Alt) key is normally used in combination with other keys for program-specific functions. The Escape (Esc) key is usually used for stopping a process. Examples are exiting a program and canceling a command. The function depends on the program you are using.

Cursor-Control Keys

Cursor-control keys are generally used for moving and editing purposes.

NOTE: The word “cursor” refers to the indicator on the screen that lets you know exactly where on your screen anything you type will appear. It can take the form of a vertical or horizontal line, a block, or one of many other shapes.
