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.
Gestures
A gesture is a shape you draw with your
tablet PC pen to send a command to your
tablet PC Input Panel. You can also use gestures
to control the insertion point in the active
program. When you use these gestures, you get
the same result as pressing the corresponding
key on a standard keyboard.
