Introduction
Utilities and Applications
This section describes the pre-installed utilities that come with the
computer and details how to start them. For further information on their
operation, please refer to each utility's online manual, help files or
README.TXT file.
HW Setup
This utility allows you to customize your
hardware settings according to the way you work
with the computer and the peripherals you use.
TOSHIBA
Accessibility
The TOSHIBA Accessibility utility provides
support to movement impaired users when they
need to use the TOSHIBA Hot-key functions. In
use, the utility allows you to make the Fn key
"sticky", that is you can press it once, release it,
and they press one of the "F" keys in order to
access its specific function. When set, the Fn key
will remain active until another key is pressed.
Fingerprint Utility
Some models of this computer series support a
fingerprint utility, which is installed for the
purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints
which can then be linked to a username and
password in order to remove the need to input
these details from the keyboard. Just by swiping
an enrolled finger against the fingerprint sensor,
the following functions will be enabled:
■
Logon to Windows and access a security
enabled homepage through Internet Explorer.
■
Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted
and third party access to them is prevented.
■
Disable the password-protected screen-saver
when returning from a power-saving mode
such as Sleep Mode.
■
Authentication of the User Password (and, if
applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
Password) when booting up the computer
(Power-on Security).
■
Single-Swipe Sign On feature
Fingerprint security cannot be used in models that do not have a
fingerprint module installed.
