Edge Adjustment Tab
Once you calibrate the sensor, the cursor should be located directly beneath your finger
when you touch the sensor. However, this may make it difficult to touch items at the very
edges of the sensor. The Edge Adjustment tab enables you to define an offset area in
which the cursor moves closer to the edges of the sensor so you can easily and more
precisely select small items, such as single words, the Windows® Start button, check
boxes, or radio buttons.
For example, if you have a row of buttons along the left edge of your sensor, you may
want to set an edge adjustment to enable users to easily activate these buttons. Because
each edge is independent of the other, you only need to adjust the left margin to
accommodate this row of buttons.
Edge Adjustment Setting
To set the Edge Adjustment, move the sliders inward to define the offset area. These
changes take effect immediately. Click Test to preview your choices. The area you have
defined appears as a colored area as shown below. Within this colored area, the cursor
will automatically move ahead of your finger so you can more easily touch items closer
to the edge.
