don’t inadvertently press it as you write. Pressing the function button
while tapping the Pen on the display is like right-clicking with a mouse
and will launch pop-up menus.
• Practice pressing the Pen function button with both your index finger and
thumb to see which you prefer.
• Relax your grip. Only a light touch is needed to write with the Pen.
• With a little practice, you will learn how to tap on the Tablet PC display
to activate buttons and menus.
• The more precise your handwritten input, the more accurate the Tablet
PC will be in converting it to text. You can use printed or cursive hand-
writing, but a mixture of upper and lowercase letters works best.
• When you hold the Pen over the Tablet PC display, a pointer (small dot)
appears under the Pen tip on the display and moves with the Pen on the
display. To select something on the display, line up this pointer before
you touch (tap) the Pen to the display surface. The digitizer under the
Tablet PC display reads the position of the pointer, not where you touch
the Pen to the display.
CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display with ink pens or other
pointed objects that could damage it.
A comparison of the Pen and mouse operations is made below:
Ending Accidental Right-Clicks
If you sometimes accidentally press the function button on the
Pen, thus interrupting your writing tasks, you can simply
deactivate this button function. You will still be able to activate
right-click menus by pressing and holding the Pen to the display.
1. Double-tap the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray,
located in the lower right-hand corner of the display window. This
