Using pointing devices
NOTE: In addition to the TouchPad, you can also connect an external USB mouse to the computer
using one of the USB ports on the computer.
Setting pointing device preferences
To access Mouse Properties, select Start > Devices and printers. Then, right-click the device
representing your computer, and click Mouse settings.
Use Mouse Properties in Windows® to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button
configuration, click speed, and pointer options.
Using the TouchPad
To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface in the direction you want the pointer
to go. Use the TouchPad buttons like the corresponding buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and
down using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down over the lines.
NOTE: If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the TouchPad
before moving it to the scroll zone. Simply sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the scroll zone does
not activate the scrolling function.
NOTE: For information on identifying the TouchPad components, refer to TouchPad on page 2
The following features are not available in all software. They are functional only in software that supports
them.
Two-finger scrolling
Two-finger scrolling is useful for moving up or down on a page or image. To scroll, place two fingers on
the TouchPad, and then drag them across the TouchPad in an up, down, left, or right motion.
NOTE: Scrolling speed is controlled by finger speed.
NOTE: Two-finger scrolling is enabled at the factory. To disable two-finger scrolling, select Control
panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse > Multitouch Gestures. Then, clear the check box next to
the function you want to disable.
