Touchpad Pointing Device

Certain S7100 LifeBook notebooks are equipped with an optional “Quick Point” button for moving the cursor. For more information about Quick Point, see “Optional Quick Point Feature” on page 17.

The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your Fujitsu 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, two left and two right buttons, and a scrolling button. The purpose of the upper left and right buttons is to facilitate use of the optional cursor control button.

Certain configurations of the LifeBook S7100 notebook have an optional finger- print sensor instead of a scrolling button. For information on using the optional fin- gerprint sensor, refer to “Fingerprint Sen- sor Device” on page 111.

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 left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. The scrolling button allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-12)

An external mouse can be connected to either the USB port on your LifeBook note- book or the USB or PS/2 ports on the optional port replicator, and used simulta- neously 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. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)

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 2-13)
