Typewriter keys

The typewriter keys, produce the upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen.

There are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and using a computer keyboard:

■Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces, which are created by a space character may also vary depending on line justification and other factors.

■The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on computers as they are on a typewriter.

■The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable.

■The Caps Lock function key locks only the alphabetic characters in uppercase while the shift lock on a typewriter places all keys in the shifted position.

■The Shift keys, the Tab key, and the BkSp (backspace) key perform the same function as their typewriter counterparts but also have special computer functions.
