Calibration
The first time you use your tablet PC, you should calibrate your pen for both
portrait and landscape orientations. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the pen
and adjusts the screen’s performance for different users.
If the on-screen pointer does not seem to line up with the tip of the pen—for
example, because someone else has used your tablet PC and adjusted it for their
own use—recalibrate it to your tapping patterns.
Recalibrate if you write with the opposite hand from the previous
user—right-handed writer to left-handed writer.
To open the calibration program:
■
Double-tap or double-click
(
Tablet and Pen Settings
) in the taskbar.
Tap or click
Properties
, then tap or click
Calibrate
. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
