of your keyboard. These keys are dark grey, but function differently from
the other dark grey keys.

F1
through

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 MS-DOS 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 supports the
Euro symbol natively. On Windows 95 and 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.
