Introduction

Utilities and Applications

This section describes the pre-installed utilities that come with the

computer and details how to start them. For further information on their

operation, please refer to each utility's online manual, help files or

README.TXT file.

HW Setup

This utility allows you to customize your

hardware settings according to the way you work

with the computer and the peripherals you use.

TOSHIBA

Accessibility

The TOSHIBA Accessibility utility provides

support to movement impaired users when they

need to use the TOSHIBA Hot-key functions. In

use, the utility allows you to make the Fn key

"sticky", that is you can press it once, release it,

and they press one of the "F" keys in order to

access its specific function. When set, the Fn key

will remain active until another key is pressed.

Fingerprint Utility

Some models of this computer series support a

fingerprint utility, which is installed for the

purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints

which can then be linked to a username and

password in order to remove the need to input

these details from the keyboard. Just by swiping

an enrolled finger against the fingerprint sensor,

the following functions will be enabled:

Logon to Windows and access a security

enabled homepage through Internet Explorer.

Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted

and third party access to them is prevented.

Disable the password-protected screen-saver

when returning from a power-saving mode

such as Sleep Mode.

Authentication of the User Password (and, if

applicable, the HDD (Hard Disk Drive)

Password) when booting up the computer

(Power-on Security).

Single-Swipe Sign On feature

Fingerprint security cannot be used in models that do not have a

fingerprint module installed.

Bluetooth Stack for

Windows by Toshiba

This software enables communication between

the computer and external Bluetooth devices

such as printers and mobile phones.
