26 Using Your Computer in the Office Using an external keyboard ❖ Since most televisions and video projectors overscan by 15 to 20 percent, some of the desktop will be outside the viewing area. You can view the edge of the desktop by scrolling to it. ❖ If you use the display hot key (Fn + F5) to change the display output with the LCD Display Stretch option enabled and the Display area (resolution) set to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, the image on the internal display panel may appear stretched. Using an external keyboard If you prefer to use a standard desktop keyboard, you can attach one to your computer. The computer's PS/2 mouse/keyboard port supports any PS/2-compatible keyboard. HINT: In Windows 95 and Windows 98, you can only connect one PS/2 device at a time, unless you purchase an optional Y-cable. Connecting a Y-cable to the computer's PS/2 port allows you to connect a PS/2-compatible mouse and a PS/2-compatible keyboard simultaneously. Windows 98 gives functionality to your USB port. If you have a USB mouse or keyboard, you can connect multiple external devices to one another, with one of them connected to the USB port. Making your external keyboard emulate the Fn key An external keyboard doesn't have the Fn key contained on the Tecra 8000 Series computer's built-in keyboard. If you use the computer's hot keys or have set up key combinations in Fn-esse®, you'll probably miss these features when using an external keyboard. Don't worry: you can use a key combination on the external keyboard to emulate the Fn key. You can set up this key combination in TSETUP, or through the Windows Control Panel Toshiba Hardware Setup option icon. Part I: Getting to Know Your Computer
