Operating Basics
For some functions, you can tap the TouchPad instead of pressing a control
button.
Using the fingerprint sensor (optional)
Some models in the series have a fingerprint utility installed for the purpose
of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID and password
to the fingerprint authentication device, it is no longer necessary to input
the password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the finger against the
fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be enabled:
■ Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through
IE (Internet Explorer).
■ Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to
them prevented.
■ Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from
power-saving (Sleep) mode.
■ Pre-OS feature and Single Sign-On feature.
■ Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk Password when
booting up the computer.
How to swipe the finger
Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration
or authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:
1. Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch
the sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you.
2. While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the
sensor surface becomes visible.
3. Ensure the center of the fingerprint is on the sensor when swiping the
finger.
Do not press the TouchPad too hard or press a sharp object such as a ball
point pen against the TouchPad. The TouchPad could be damaged.
Click: Tap the TouchPad once.
Double-click: Tap the TouchPad twice.
Drag and drop: 1. Hold down the left control button and move the cursor
to drag the item you want to move.
2. Lift your finger to drop the item where you want it.
Scroll: Vertical: Move your finger up or down the right edge of
the TouchPad.
Horizontal: Move your finger left or right along the
bottom edge of the TouchPad.
To "swipe" refers to the action of reading a fingerprint using the fingerprint
sensor.
