IBM PC - Chicony 104 keyboard application key causes printer activity

Applicable to: World-Wide

Text :
Any IBM PC 300 or 700 Series system running OS/2 2.11 with a Chicony 104 Key Keyboard installed may exhibit printer activity and possibly a print error when the Application Key is pressed.

Printer errors may be displayed in OS/2 after pressing the Application key on the Chicony 104 key keyboard if no printer is attached, the printer is not ready, or not powered-on. If a printer is attached and ready, the entire contents of the screen will be printed as if the Print Screen key had been pressed.

The Chicony Keyboard Application Key is located on the lower right hand side of the 104 key keyboard. In the OS/2 2.11 operating system environment, the Application key has no supported function, however, it is functional in the Windows95 environment. There are no plans to add support for the Application key to OS/2 2.11.
