More about the keyboard

Enhanced Function Keys

The Enhanced Function Keys shown on page 5 are controlled by your PC computer’s setup. Therefore, most keys do not require the drivers to be installed.

However, driver installation is recommended.

Keys, press the F key again. The F Lock LED turns off. The F key toggles between enable/disable the Enhanced Function Keys.

Excel, Power Point, etc. MS Office 97 or later is recommended.

The Reply (F9) and the Forward (F10) function keys do not support MS Outlook

97. The Task Pane key (F12) only supports Office XP.

Office Application Keys

For all Office Application Keys to work properly, be sure to install the drivers from the ViewSonic CD Wizard.

Application Keys

Most of the Applications Keys function without installing the drivers. Driver installation is required to enable the calculator key.

The Power Off and Sleep hot keys function properly when your PC system and peripherals support and enable ACPI power management on your system.

However, activating the Power Off key depends on your computer hardware setup.

“Close all programs and log on as a different user?” > click Yes. The Log Off key is enabled. The next time you log off your system, press the Log Off Key.

Clipboard Keys

Most of the Clipboard Keys do not require installing the software drivers when running on Windows Me, 2000, or XP. However, with the drivers installed, the

Office Keyboard supports older systems like Windows 95, 98, and enables the

Back/Forward keys and the Directional Scroll Keys.

The Clipboard keys can be used instead of your mouse for repetitive tasks like

Cut, Copy, Paste, Mark, etc.
