3. About the touch panel

What is the touch panel?

The touch panel is a handy pointing device that enables you to directly control the mouse pointer on the screen. The touch-sensitive panel covering the LCD screen can be operated with the pen which comes with your personal computer. The touch panel which allows you to directly control objects on the screen ensures intuitive and speedy computer operations.

The mouse pointer moves as you move the pen on the screen.

Critical Point

Always use the supplied pen to operate the touch panel. Using a finger or a ballpoint pen can make the touch panel dirty or damage it.

How to use the touch panel

• Single-click Tap on the screen once with the pen and move it off the screen immediately.

• Double-click Tap on the screen twice in quick succession with the pen and move it off the screen immediately.

• Drag Move the pen while pressing it lightly against the screen.

SECTION 1

Critical Point

To right-click on an object, press the [ ] key (application key) while pressing the pen lightly against the desired object. Right clicking is effective only for right-clicking an icon; to rightclick on other objects on the screen, use the Quick Point IV. Opening a sub-menu and choosing an icon require different ways of pointing (positioning the mouse pointer over an object).

• To open a sub-menu: Touch the desired menu item with the pen.

• To choose an icon: Place the pen near the desired icon on the screen and drag the pen onto the icon to highlight it.

The mouse pointer’s position can disagree with the point you touch with the pen after the screen resolution is changed. In such a case, calibrate the effective area of the panel.

Calibrating the touch panel

(Only for models with a touch panel)

If the mouse pointer’s position does not correspond to the point you touch with the pen, for example, after the screen resolution is changed or the driver program is reinstalled, you need to calibrate the effective area of the touch panel.

Critical Point

With the pen which comes with your computer, point to the red [+] mark on the screen. Be careful not to touch the touch panel with a finger, etc. during operation. The point you touch with the tip of the pen is recognized when you move the pen off the touch panel.

1 Click on Start, Program, then Touch Panel Calibration.

The screen turns white, enabling you to calibrate the touch panel.

2 With the tip of the supplied pen, point to and touch the red [+] mark on the screen.

Point to the red [+] mark accurately because this mark acts as the datum for positioning. You can hide the mouse pointer from view by pressing the Tab key.

Please touch nine red ‘+’ marks with the attached pen.

[Home]: Test Screen [Tab]: Cursor on/off [Arrow Keys]: moved ‘+’ marks [Esc]: Cancel [Enter]: Next Screen

The [+] mark moves to the next position when you touch it.

3 Similarly, touch the [+] mark in each position (a total of nine positions).

Critical Point

If the message “Correction Parameter Error” is displayed, click on OK and repeat the above steps 2 though 4 once again.

5 Slide the pen in each of the four corners and at the center of the screen to check if the

touch panel is calibrated correctly.

6 After calibrating the touch panel correctly, press the Enter key.

7 The Touch Panel Calibration program exits.

The touch panel is now calibrated correctly.

Critical Point

The mode of clicking of your computer is set by default at “Single-click to select and doubleclick to open”. If you wish to change it to “Point to select and single-click to open”, then follow the procedure below.

1 Double-click on the My Computer icon. 2 Click on Folder Option in the View menu. 3 Check Custom to enable it ( ), then click on Limited. 4 In the Mode of Clicking dialog, check “Point to select and single-click to open” to enable

it ( ), and then click on OK.

5 Close all the dialog boxes and windows.

The touch panel does not support right-clicking. The touch panel calibrating method described in this user’s guide is intended for models with the Quick Point IV. For other models, therefore, the method of calibrating their touch panels can be different from that described in this guide.

What is a Floppy Disk?

A floppy disk is a medium for storing programs or data. This item explains basic knowledge and precautions regarding floppy disks.

Types of floppy disks

If floppy disks are classified according to the amount of data they can store (the memory capacity), typically there are the following 2 types.

• 2HD floppy disks These have 1.44MB (megabyte: unit of data

amount) and 1.2MB memory capacities.

• 2DD floppy disks These have 720KB (kilobyte) memory capaci-

ties, half of the 2HDs.

The differences between the 2 kinds of floppy

disks are shown in the diagram on the right.

3 mode drive

This computer’s floppy disk drive is a 3 mode drive that can read 1.44MB, 1.2MB and 720KB memory capacity floppy disks. Therefore it can read nearly all floppy disks. However, when exchanging data with another computer, you have to be careful if the other computer’s floppy disk drive is not a 3 mode drive. For example, if the other computer can read 1.2MB floppy disks but not 1.44MB floppy disks, you have to enter the data after putting it into 1.2MB format in advance with this computer.

Critical Point

Some floppy disks cannot be read by this computer, depending on the floppy disk format.
