Using the Keyboard

The eMachines 355 has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor,

Lock Keys and Embedded Numeric Keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters
located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols
are not printed on the keys.

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys
function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /).
Use this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better
solution would be to connect an external keypad.
When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you
press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with
some applications.
Num Lock on
Type numbers in a normal manner.
