78 Getting Started Using the TouchPad™ ❖ To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide your finger across the TouchPad from left to right. ❖ To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to left. NOTE Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the preferred direction. Once you have positioned your cursor, you can click it into place by either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons. Scrolling with the TouchPad™ There are two active regions on the TouchPad™ that allow you to scroll as you would with any wheel device on a mouse or trackball. To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right edge of the TouchPad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the bottom edge of the TouchPad. This feature can be disabled or changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box. Control buttons When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand) button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left mouse button. The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button ("right-clicking"). Check your program's documentation to determine whether it uses the right mouse button. Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™ The TouchPad™ is enabled by default. To enable/disable the TouchPad, press Fn + F9. For more information, see "Disabling or enabling the Toshiba Dual Pointing Device" on page 222. NOTE Alternately, you can disable only the tapping feature. If you disable tapping only, you can still use the TouchPad's control buttons and move the pointer by sliding your finger on the TouchPad. To disable tapping only, use the Mouse Properties option in the Windows Control Panel.
