Epson 500 Series Using the Keyboard, Using Fn, F11, and F12, Using Your Computer, Although the keyboard on the ActionNote has only 84 keys

Using the Keyboard

Although the keyboard on the ActionNote has only 84 keys

(85 on the international version), its still provides all the functions of a full-size (102-key) keyboard. For example, a full-size keybard has a separate numeric keypad you can use for both numberic entry and cursor control. The ActicnNote has an embedded numeric keypad that you access using the Fn and Shift keys in the same

way you use the Shift key to enter uppercase characters. (Using the embedded numberic keypad is described later in this section.)

Note

The keyboard on the ActionNote is available with different layouts for different languages. Special keyboards are available in some countries. Additionally, you can use MS-DOS to reassign the layout of your keyboard to duplicate that of another country. See your MS-DOS manual for more information.

This section describes how to use the Fn, F11, and F12 keys and the embedded numberic keypad on your keyboard.

Using Fn, F11, and F12

The Fn key activates the F11 and F12 keys and controls functions on the embedded numberic keypad. The F11 and F12 keys perform special functions within application programs. You activate these

keys by using Fn with the F1 and F2 keys. Hold down Fn and press F1 to produce F11; hold down Fn and press F2 to produce F12.
