Touchpad Pointing Device

The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a left and right button, and a scrolling /fingerprint sensor.

Note that certain configurations of this system have an optional Point and Write Pad instead of a touchpad pointing device.

(See Optional Point and Write Pad on page 16 for more information).

The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger.

The scrolling sensor allows you to navigate quickly through pages. Note that the scrolling sensor is also used as a Fingerprint Recognition Sensor. (See Fingerprint Sensor Device on page 99 for more information)

The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application being used. (Figure 2-10)

An external mouse can be connected to a USB port on your LifeBook notebook and used simultaneously with the Touchpad.

However, if you boot the system with an external mouse connected the Touchpad will be disabled or enabled depending on the specifications in your BIOS settings.

CLICKING

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left- click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad once. (Figure 2-11)

Figure 2-11 Clicking methods

DOUBLE-CLICKING

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice. (Figure 2-12)

(See BIOS Setup Utility on page 25 for more information)
