Using The Touchpad - HP Notebook Series Hardware And Software Manual

TouchPad and Keyboard

Using the TouchPad

The TouchPad provides the navigation, selection, and scroll
functions of an optional external mouse:
To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad
surface in the direction you want to move the pointer.
To execute the click functions of the left or right button on an
external mouse, press the left or right TouchPad button.
To scroll, place your finger onto a scrolling region, and then
slide your finger along the scrolling region in the direction
you want to scroll. (Sliding your finger from the TouchPad to
a scrolling region without first lifting your finger from the
TouchPad and then placing it on the scrolling region will not
activate the scrolling region.)
The TouchPad is enabled when the notebook is turned on. If you
work with keystrokes rather than mouse actions, you might prefer
to disable the TouchPad to prevent accidental TouchPad activity.
