Chapter 4 Defining the Tablet PC Function Keys Introducing PC Button Functions You have access to thirteen buttons all with different functions to make your computing life easier than ever. Some of these buttons even have secondary functions to save you the time you would take to look for them. You can even define four of these thirteen buttons to do additional tasks to meet your special needs. Working with the convenience of paper and digital pen together with the power of a PC is within your reach. Just read on! * Note! The directional control and enter keys have a total count of five buttons. Each button has a primary function, meaning a default function. Some buttons have an additional function. The additional function is called secondary function. Of the total thirteen buttons, you can assign your own secondary function to four of them. Before you start operating the PC, you need to understand the two types of functions. One function type is primary function, also the default function, where you cannot modify its action. Instinctively, when you see the physical buttons, their icons represent their primary functions. The other type is the secondary function. Within the secondary functions, you need to distinguish between user programmable keys and the already assigned secondary function keys. Both types of functions exist in the logon process and in the setting when desktop icons appear on your screen. You must make the distinction between these two settings, because there is a variance in task performance among primary and secondary functions depending on the system setting. How to Activate Secondary Button Functions? You activate primary functions by pressing the buttons once. To launch the secondary
functions, you need to press the function Fn key first before pressing the button keys that have secondary functions. Button Functions in the Logon Process What is the Logon Process? It occurs when you first turn on the computer, before the desktop icons and the taskbar appear on the monitor.

We refer to the existing functions during the Logon process as Logon Functions. In the Logon process, you can only access five primary functions and four secondary functions. Many of the functions available when the desktop icons appear on the monitor are not activated during the Logon process. What are the Primary Functions?

Button Functions When Desktop Icons Appear When do these functions occur? When the Logon process ends, the appearing of the desktop icons indicates the start of another set of functions differ from the ones described above as Logon Functions. What type of functions? Buttons during this stage have more functions, and we refer to them as the Main Functions. Main Functions include both primary and secondary functions. What are the primary functions?
