Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device built into your Fujitsu
LifeBook is used to control the movement of the pointer
to select items on your display panel. The Touchpad is
composed of a cursor control, two left and right buttons,
and a scrolling button. The cursor control works the
same as a mouse, and moves the cursor around the
display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of
your finger. The left and right buttons function the same
as mouse buttons. The left and right buttons that are
located at the top of the Touchpad are designed for use
with the optional Quick Point Control, and they func-
tion the same as the lower buttons. The actual function-
ality of the buttons may vary depending on the
application that is being used. The scrolling button
allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without
having to use the scroll bars.
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left button once, and then immediately release
it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right button once, and then
immediately release it. You also have the option to
perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the
Touchpad once. (Figure 2-12)

DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the
left button twice, and immediately release it. You can
also perform the double-click operation by tapping
lightly on the Touchpad twice. (Figure 2-13)

Certain E8310 LifeBooks are equipped
with an optional “Quick Point” button
for moving the cursor. For more about
Quick Point, see “Optional Quick Point
Feature” on page 17.
The scrolling button may be replaced by
an optional fingerprint sensor. To read
about the fingerprint sensor, see “Fin-
gerprint Sensor Device” on page 99.
An external mouse can be connected to
either USB or PS/2 ports on your Life-
Book or the optional port replicator, and
used simultaneously with the Touchpad.
Note: If you boot the system with an
external mouse connected the Touchpad
will be disabled or enabled depending
on your BIOS settings.

BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more
