Calibrating the Pen
The pen can function at the default calibration or at a calibration set by you
or by another user. Dell recommends that you use the pen only while it is
calibrated to your personal calibration settings. Calibration optimizes pen
performance for each user.
To calibrate the pen:
1
Press the QuickSet tablet settings button, click Control Tablet PC
Settings
→
Pen and Input Settings .
2
At the bottom of the General tab, tap the Calibrate button.
3
Follow the instructions on the screen. The calibration markers are
displayed on the screen as plus signs (+). Tap the pen in the exact center
of each of the calibration markers.
NOTE:
Be sure to calibrate the pen for use in both portrait and landscape display
orientations.
Using the Pen Like a Mouse
You can use the pen with your Tablet-PC the same way you use a mouse or
touch pad with a notebook computer. When you hold the pen near the
display, you see a small cursor. Moving the pen moves the cursor.
• To click, tap once.
• To double-click, tap the display twice.
• To open a menu, tap the menu name, and then the menu item.
• To drag an item, such as a file or icon, touch the pen to the item and drag
it to another destination on the display.
• There are two ways to right-click (to open a context-sensitive menu):
– Hold down the right-click pen button and then tap the display. When
you hold down the right-click pen button, the cursor is surrounded
with a circle.
– Touch the pen on the screen and hold it in place momentarily until
Windows draws a complete circle around the cursor. When the circle
is complete, lift the pen to display the context menu. If you move or
lift the pen before the circle is complete, the right-click action is
cancelled.
