The display driver may have been removed or become corrupted. Use Windows Device

and search for “update driver”.

Input

The system does not respond to the pen I am using

You may be using an improper input device. Only Motion Computing digitizer pens can

be used. The system does not respond to other pens or to a plastic stylus.

You may be using the wrong pen. Occasionally, a particular pen may not work with a

particular unit. If you are in an environment with multiple units and pens, try using a

different pen. You can also tether the pen to the unit to ensure that a pen stays with it.

The pointer on the screen does not align with the pen

The pen may need to be calibrated. See “Calibrate the digitizer” on page 6.

When I write, I inadvertently click the function button on the pen

Adjust how you hold the pen. Avoid resting your finger on the function button. You can

also use the Pen and Input Devices window to disable the button. See “Configuring pen

options” on page 22.

The function button does not work

The function button may not be enabled. You can use Tablet and Pen Settings window

to enable the function button. See “Configuring pen options” on page 22.

You may not be pressing the button early enough. Try pressing the function button

before you touch the pen to the display surface.

The eraser does not work

The eraser may not be enabled. You can use Tablet and Pen Settings window to enable

the eraser. See “Configuring pen options” on page 22. The eraser works on digital ink

only, not text.

The buttons on the unit do not do what I expect them to do

The button functions may have been customized. You can use the Tablet and Pen

Settings window to change the buttons to the desired functions. See “Configuring front

panel buttons” on page 24.

Ports and connectors

The unit is in the docking station, but the system does not recognize any accessory
devices, such as the external disk drive or monitor

The unit may not be fully seated in the docking station. Remove the unit from the

docking station and then replace it.
