Chapter 4 Defining the Tablet PC Function KeysIntroducing 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. If you set password security, Login screen appears during this process asking for you to sign in for the security check. SHOW PASSWORD PICTURE What kind of functions? 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? They are listed below along with a brief explanation for each button. Remember you only need to press these buttons once to activate them. The buttons are described in the clockwise order starting at the Escape key. Button Icons Button Function Explanations Escape Key cancels the current operation. Enter Key is the same as an enter key on a keyboard. Down Arrow Key. Despite its icon, this button functions as a Tab key. Up Arrow Key. Its real function is the same as a Tab key but in the opposite direction. Windows Security Key launches the Windows Task Manager. It performs the same task as Ctrl + Alt +Del.What are the secondary functions? Activating secondary functions requires you to press the function Fn key first and then press the appropriate button key. Button Icons Button Function Explanations
Escape Key works as the backspace key. Enter Key functions as the spacebar. Up Arrow Key. As the icon indicates, it moves things upward. Down Arrow Key functions as the down arrow key on a keyboard. 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? All buttons have primary functions, which are also known as default functions. The buttons are described in the clockwise order starting from the Power key. Button Icons Button Function Explanations Power Key turns on/off the PC.Screen Rotational Key changes the screen display in four different directions.Escape Key cancels the current operation.FnFunction Key initiates the secondary functions. Up Arrow Key functions as the up cursor. Down Arrow Key functions as the down cursor. Right Arrow Key functions as the right cursor. Left Arrow Key functions as the left cursor.
Enter Key functions as the enter key. Tablet PC Input Panel launches the Input Panel.Journal Key launches the Windows Journal application. Start Menu Key activates the Start Menu. Windows Security Key initiates the Windows Task Manager. It performs the same task as Ctrl + Alt +Del. *Note!You can also set the Power Button to put the PC in standby mode. See the section “Putting the PC in Standby Mode” in Chapter 3. *Note!The direction control button automatically changes its functions as the screen orientation rotates in four different views. For example, the arrow directions change when the screen rotates from Primary Landscape to Secondary Landscape. The same applies to when landscape views change to portrait views. What are the secondary functions? All but three buttons either already have secondary functions programmed in them or you can assign a secondary function to them. These three keys below have only primary functions: i Power Key i Function Key i Windows Security Key Button Icons Button Function Explanations Screen Rotational Key. A user-definable Key Escape Key functions as Alt + Escape that send your current window to the background. Up Arrow Key has the Page Up function. Down Arrow Key has the Page Down function.
