Touch Pad

The touch pad is a convenient pointing device with which you can move the mouse pointer with your
fingertip. The touch pad comprises the operation pad and the two buttons in front of it.
The operation pad has the function of the ball section of a mouse. You move the mouse pointer on the
screen by dragging your fingertip up/down/left/right over the operation pad. Also, by gently tapping
the operation pad you can carry out such operations as clicking, double-clicking, pointing, dragging,
etc.
The left and right buttons are equivalent to the left and right buttons on a mouse. These functions
depend on the application. The center scroll button allows you to move the screen easily up and
down by pressing the center scroll button forward and back.

Critical Point
The basic principles of the touch pad are such that the touch pad operates somewhat differently
for different users due to such factors as the degree of dryness of the fingertip of the user.
If condensation due to humidity or soiling gets on the operation pad, this can cause malfunction.
If this happens, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it clean. If the touch pad is extremely dirty, wipe
it with a soft cloth dipped in neutral cleaning agent diluted with water.
The center scroll button can be used if you install the accessory "Alps Pointing Device Driver".
Some applications can not scroll the screen with the scroll button.
When using a PS/2 mouse, it is necessary to set such parameters as simultaneous use with
the touch pad in the BIOS setup "Keyboard/mouse settings".
