Step 6: Using the Stylus Pen
Unlke a standard laptop or desktop PC, standard navgatonal
actvtes on a Tablet PC are completed usng the stylus pen, or
even your fingers f usng the touch screen. The screen wll react
to the pen dfferently dependng on whether you are usng the
Touch Screen mode or the Actve Dgtzer mode.
Touch Screen mode
Navgatng wth a touch screen s dfferent from navgatng wth
a mouse. The pen wll nteract wth the computer whenever you
touch t to the screen.
Hold the stylus pen as f you were wrtng wth a standard pen.
Instead of sldng the pen around the screen, just tap on what
you want to nteract wth. Sldng the pen whle lghtly touchng
the tp to the screen wll move the on-screen ponter around as f
you were usng a mouse and holdng down the left mouse
button. In other words, you would be performng what s known
as a drag operaton.
Also, remember that snce the screen s senstve to the touch,
restng your hand on the screen whle usng the pen mght make
the ponter react unpredctably.
TIP: When trying to select or activate something on the screen with
the stylus pen, pay attention to the position of the pointer icon
instead of the tip of the pen.
Tappng lghtly on the screen wll perform a standard left mouse
button clck. Holdng the tp of the pen aganst the screen
wthout movng t for about a second or so wll perform a
standard rght mouse button clck.
Active Digitizer mode (i440D only)
The 440D should default to the actve dgtzer mode when
powered on for the first tme. In ths mode, the pen doesn’t even
need to touch the screen to actvate and move the ponter.
