Using the digitizer pen with the tablet
Before using the digitizer pen, press the right-click button to power it on.
Tapping
You can use the point of the digitizer pen to perform all the gestures that
require one finger. For example, you can use the point of the digitizer pen to
tap on items or buttons on the screen. This is very useful when items or
buttons are too small for a fingertip.
Handwriting
Some touch-oriented applications can recognize handwriting. For example,
the on-screen keyboard of Windows 7 can recognize handwriting and quick
editing using a digitizer pen. In such a case, you can use the digitizer pen to
write on the screen just as you would with a normal pen on a piece of paper.
Using the right-click button
When the point of the digitizer pen is placed over the screen, pressing the
right button on the digitizer pen will display the context menu. This is
equivalent to touching and holding your finger on the screen.
Using the Function button
When the point of the digitizer pen is placed over the screen, pressing the
Function button will display PadManage. This is equivalent to pressing the
Function button on the left edge of the tablet.
Note:
The digitizer pen automatically powers off after 5 minutes of user inactivity.
