Zoom
The Zoom accessibility feature lets you magnify the entire screen to help you see what’s on
the display.
Turn Zoom on or o: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use Triple-click Home.
See “Triple-click Home” on page 116 .
Zoom in or out Double-tap the screen with three ngers. By default, the screen is magnied
200 percent. If you manually change the magnication (by using the tap-
and-drag gesture, described below), iPad automatically returns to that
magnication when you zoom in by double-tapping with three ngers.
Increase magnication With three ngers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to
increase magnication) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease
magnication). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except
you don’t lift your ngers on the second tap—instead, drag your ngers on
the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single nger.
Move around the screen When zoomed in, drag or ick the screen with three ngers. Once you start
dragging, you can drag with a single nger so that you can see more of
the screen. Hold a single nger near the edge of the display to pan to that
side of the screen image. Move your nger closer to the edge to pan more
quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle
of the screen.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard, the screen image follows the insertion point,
keeping it in the center of the display. See “Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard” on page 31.
Large Text
Large Text lets you make the text larger in Mail and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point,
32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text.
White on Black
Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPad display, which may make it easier to read the
screen. When White on Black is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
Invert the screen’s colors: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > White on Black.
