Press and hold the left button, then move your fingers

drop

until you reach your destination (drag). Finally, release

Gently tap twice on the pad, and on the second tap, keep

 

your finger in contact with the pad. Then, move your

 

finger across the pad to drag the selected object to your

 

destination. When you lift your finger from the pad, the

 

selected object will drop into place.

 

 

Scroll

To scroll is to move up and down or left and right in the

 

working area on the screen.

 

To move vertically, place your finger on the right edge of

 

the pad and slide your finger up and down along the edge.

 

To move horizontally, place your finger on the bottom

 

edge of the pad and slide your finger left and right.

 

This function works only after you install the touchpad

 

driver supplied with the computer and it may not work for

 

all applications.

 

 

TABLE NOTE: If you swap the left and right buttons, “tapping” on the touchpad as an alternative method of pressing the left button will no longer be valid.

Configuring the Touchpad

You may want to configure the touchpad to suit your needs. For example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons so that you can use the right button as the left button and vise versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on.

To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver if you are using Windows. However, you can install the touchpad driver supplied with your computer to take advantage of more powerful features. (For information on installing the driver, see “How to Use the CD” in Chapter 6.)
