Using the touchscreen
This computer features a touchscreen which allows you to use your finger on
the display panel to perform the same function as a touchpad or mouse. The
touchscreen monitor includes the following features.
n Multi-Touch Support for the Touch Keyboard: The touchscreen supports
multi-touch for the soft touch keyboard so that you can enjoy a more realistic
experience, such as pressing multiple buttons simultaneously—like SHIFT +
<letter> to capitalize.
n Zoom: With zoom you have the ability to zoom in on an image by moving two
fingers closer together, or zoom out by moving two fingers apart in Windows
Explorer and many applications. Using these zoom gestures, you can easily
switch between view modes such as zooming from Small icons to Extra Large
icons.
Press and Tap for Right Clicking: The touchscreen includes a new, fast multi-
n
touch gesture to access a right click menu. Simply touch an item with one
finger and use another finger to tap.
n Drag, Drop and Select Items: You can now use the touchscreen to drag, drop
and select text inside Web sites that scroll both horizontally and vertically.
