You can configure this plugin under Settings >> Content Tracking with GA.  The available options are:
* Run in debug mode? - set this to true and no Google Analytics events are fired; instead you will get alert messages indicating when they would have been fired.  To test that the plugin is working, set this option to True and scroll through a post.  You should get alert windows popping up as you scroll down to the bottom.
* jQuery selector for the content DIV - set this to the class (or other selector) of the DIV that contains the content in your posts.  By default, it is set to the string ".entry-content" which the class of the DIV used to hold content in many WordPress blog themes.
* Delay after scroll event before checking location (milliseconds) - set this to adjust the delay between a scroll event and when the plugin checks how far down the visitor has scrolled.  100 milliseconds is the default.
* Distance from top of content that indicates reading has started (pixels) - set this to adjust how far down you want the visitor to scroll before you count him as having "started reading".  150 pixels is the default.
