Selecting the Keyboard Layout
Depending on what type of computer keyboard you are accus-
tomed to, the position of the
Caps Lock
,
Ctrl
and
Alt
keys on your
computer may seem odd to you. You can change the layout of
these keys by setting the Int. Keyboard Key Layout option in
Hardware Setup or TSETUP:
The Alternative and Normal keyboard key layouts
If you plan on using the Alternative layout permanently, an autho-
rized service provider can change the keytops for you.
To find out how to set the Int. Keyboard Key Layout option using
TSETUP, see “TSETUP” on page 341.
To set the Int. Keyboard Key Layout option in Hardware Setup,
follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then point to Programs.
2 Point to Toshiba Utilities, then click Hardware Setup.
