Keyboard

The keyboard is the device for giving instructions to the computer, inputting data, and executing. The keys can be divided into two types.

: Control keys

: Character keys

Numeric Keypad Mode

The mode in which some of the character keys are used as numeric keys (with a key layout that makes numeric input easier) instead of their normal functions is called numeric keypad mode. The keyboard is switched to numeric keypad mode with [Num Lk]. (In numeric keypad mode, 1 is displayed on the status indicator LCD.) The keys surrounded by thick lines in the diagram above become the numeric keypad. The numbers input with these keys are printed in pink on the front of each key.

Critical Point

￿When the separately sold numeric keypad is connected, if you press [Num Lk] to put the computer into numeric keypad mode, the keys on the external numeric keypad are enabled, but the numeric keypad section on the keyboard is disabled.
