Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Terminal doesn’t recognize my
handwriting. Character strokes written
incorrectly with the stylus. If using the Block Recognizer
input method, characters must
be written a certain way. See
Appendix A, Block Recognizer
Characters
for information
about how to write character
strokes.
Character strokes written on the
wrong part of the LCD screen. If using the Block Recognizer or
Letter Recognizer input
method, make the character
strokes in the lower character
entry area on the screen — not
on the display part of the
screen.
Lower- case and upper-case
letters, and numbers written on
the wrong parts of the LCD
screen. Ensure you are writing letters
and numbers in the appropriate
section of the writing area.
Tapping the screen buttons or
icons does not activate the
corresponding feature. LCD screen not aligned
correctly. Align the screen. Tap Start -
Settings - System tab - Screen -
