When the Scroll Lock indicator is off, the arrow keys can be used for cursor control, not as screen-scroll function keys. Press the Scroll Lock key to switch back and forth between these two modes.

5 Shortcut keys

The keyboard comes with Microsoft shortcut keys. On U.S. English keyboards, the shortcuts are labeled on the front face of the keys in green. On keyboards for other languages, the shortcuts are labeled on the front face of the keys in white.

To use the shortcut keys, hold the Ctrl key and then press a shortcut key. For example, on a U.S. English keyboard, press Ctrl+P for print function.

Notes:

• The shortcuts are only available for certain language layouts.

• Some software applications do not respond to the shortcut keys.

6 Internet navigation keys

The Internet navigation keys, located near the Tab key on the left side of the keyboard, are used with your Internet browser. They function like the forward and back arrows in the browser that move you forward and backward to pages you have viewed in the order that you opened them.

You can create a new rapid access key label when you customize your rapid access keys. To do this, you need to remove the existing label from the rapid access key label slot. After you create and print the new rapid access key label, insert the new label into the slot.
