Touch Pad (Advanced)

Work Surface
Use the touch pad to move the cursor on the display and perform normal computer
operations.
The touch pad has the following two modes of operation.
Microsoft® IntelliMouseTM Wheel Mode
(Setting at the time of purchase)
Wheel mode operations (almost identical
to the case of using the Microsoft®
IntelliMouseTM for scroll, zoom, etc., op-
erations) are possible for Microsoft® wheel
function-compatible applications.
Microsoft® IntelliMouseTM is a mouse-type
device that, in addition to the two conven-
tional buttons, incorporates a wheel able
to rotate forwards/backwards.
Scrolling Area
Scrolling up/down
For the Pan and Auto Scroll functions, the en-
tire work surface of the touch pad can be used
for scrolling.
Right Button
Left Button
Original Mode
Only scroll operation is possible for appli-
cations not compatible with the Microsoft®
wheel function.
Even for applications compatible with the
Microsoft® wheel function, there are cases
where only vertical scrolling or only hori-
zontal scrolling is possible in this mode.
Scrolling Area
Scrolling up/down
Possible when a check
mark
is added for
[Vertical].
Scrolling side-to-side
Possible when a check mark
added for [Horizontal].
is
: Typical mouse operations use this area.
When no check mark is added for [IntelliMouse Wheel mode], [Horizontal] and
[Vertical] of [Scroll Configuration], the entire surface can be used for typical
mouse operations.
NOTE
When you are not sure whether an application is compatible with the Microsoft®
wheel function or not, try using both modes. Furthermore, depending on the appli-
cation, there are cases where scrolling may not be possible with either mode.
