Chapter 04: Using Your eo TufTab a7230X with Windows XP

moving the stylus pen’s tip just above the screen will cause the
pointer to follow along similarly to how it behaves when moving
a mouse. Sliding the pen while lightly touching the tip to the
screen will move the on-screen pointer around as if you were
using a mouse and holding down the left mouse button. In other
words, you would be performing a drag operation.

Also, remember that since the screen is sensitive to the touch,
resting your hand on the screen while using the stylus pen might
make the pointer react unpredictably. Actually, this is only true
with the eo TufTab a7230XT, as when using the stylus pen with
an eo TufTab a7230XD the screen will automatically switch to
digitizer mode which is not touch sensitive except to the pen’s tip.

It is also important to note that some of the context-sensitive
features of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, such as the floating
Input panel icon, will only function when you are using the pen
and your eo TufTab a7230XD is in Active Digitizer mode.

Touch Screen Settings and Calibration (a7230XT)
The eo TufTab a7230XT uses a different touch screen controller
than the a7230XD. The PenMount Control Panel on the a7230XT
allows you to customize the way your touch screen accepts
positional input and responds to the tap of the stylus. The
easiest way to launch this applet is to Tap and hold on the

icon in the system tray and choose “Control Panel” from the
pop-up menu.

The control panel’s
interface is comprised
of four main tabs.
The “Device” tab
and the “Tools” tab
hold the procedures
and settings you’ll
use to configure and
calibrate your touch
screen.
