Introduction
The Senographe DS is supplied with a mouse or trackball pointing device, which allows you to select
and interact with items displayed on the monitor.
A mouse is supplied as standard, but a trackball is available as an option. Both are hand-operated
devices which are used to move the cursor (an on-screen arrow or other symbol; see section
) across the monitor screen. For instance, moving the mouse to the right, or rolling the track-
ball to the right, causes the cursor to move to the right, and so on. Both devices include buttons for selec-
tion and interaction with on-screen objects.

Mouse and trackball buttons
Throughout this manual instructions for use of buttons on the pointing device refer to them as if they
were mouse buttons, named left button, middle button, and right button. This is done because most
users are familiar with the use of a mouse, and because trackballs can be configured in different ways.
The illustrations and table below show the correspondence between mouse buttons and trackball but-
tons as configured for the Senographe DS:

Using the pointing device
With the cursor positioned on the appropriate object on screen, the left button is used to
select
a window,
an on-screen button, or an item in a menu list.
The middle and right buttons are used for specific operations, described in the appropriate sections of
this manual.
•
"Click" means to press and release a button without moving the cursor.
•
"Double-click" means to click a button twice in rapid succession.
•
"Press and drag" means to move an item across the screen. With the cursor on the item, press and
hold the appropriate button while moving the mouse or rolling the trackball, "dragging" the selected
item.
•
"Drag and drop" means to drag an item and "drop" it in a new location. Drag the item as described
above ("press and drag"), then drop it in the required position by releasing the button. Specific "drag
and drop" operations are described in more detail in the appropriate sections of this manual.
•
Important:
"Clicking the mouse button", "pressing a button", "selecting a menu item", etc. in this man-
ual always refer to using the left mouse button, unless the middle or right mouse button is specifically
mentioned.
