How to Change an eMac's Magnification

Computer text can sometimes be hard to read. Increasing screen magnification can help users to read displayed text.

eMac computers and other newer models with Mac OSX installed have the ability to magnify text and images displayed on a screen. This is useful for visually impaired users or those who have difficulty reading small text for long periods of time. Screen magnification can easily be enabled and changed using quick keyboard shortcuts once the proper settings have been chosen.

Instructions

1. Launch "System Preferences" from the "Apple" menu and launch the "Universal Access" preference pane.

2. Select the "On" radio button from the "Zoom" section.

3. Hold the "Command" and "Option" keys and press the "Equals" key to increase magnification.

4. Hold the "Command" and "Option" keys and press the "Minus" key to decrease magnification.

Tips & Warnings

• Click on "Options" in "System Preferences" and experiment with the various zoom methods to find which best fits your personal needs and preferences.
