Working with your SPT 1500
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti:
t If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the tables later in this chapter
(like the shapes shown in the following diagram), you achieve 100% accuracy.
t The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain characters
have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points. Always begin the stroke
at the heavy dot.
t Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the
Graffiti writing area, your SPT 1500 terminal recognizes and displays the text
character immediately.
t The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing the letters of the
alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the
Graffiti writing area indicate the two areas.
To write letters of the alphabet with Graffiti:
1. Tap the screen where you want your text to go.
2. Use the table on the next page to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to
create. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter “n.”
