The mouse directs the cursor on the Windows desktop. Use the
mouse to move quickly through a document or Web site.
Moving through a document or Web site with the scroll wheel is
faster than using the scroll bar. You can use the scroll wheel to:
■
Scroll forward or backward through a document or Web site
by turning the scroll wheel forward or backward.
■
Autoscroll by pressing down on the scroll wheel until it
clicks (you will see an autoscroll icon on your desktop).
Move the mouse vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to
scroll in the desired direction. The farther you move the
cursor from the starting point icon, the faster the scrolling
occurs. To stop autoscrolling, press any mouse button.
Autoscrolling does not work with some software.
The optical mouse is available with select models. It provides the
same functions as the scroll mouse, but it uses an optical sensor
instead of a mechanical ball to determine the position of the
cursor on the screen. The surface on which you use the optical
mouse plays an important role in tracking the cursor.
When using the optical mouse:
■
Use a mousepad or a white sheet of paper underneath your
mouse. Using it on a glass or see-through surface will inhibit
the ability of the sensor to track the cursor.
■
Avoid using the mouse on a reflective surface such as a
mirror or shiny metal disk. This may cause tracking
problems.
