Pens for the L10 Tablets
All L10 tablets support touch input with your finger. In addition, a pen or stylus is provided with your
tablet, and is compatible with the screen configuration that you order. Many people use a pen for
more convenience or precision. The pen is particularly effective for precise data entry and
navigation.
The XSLATE and XBOOK come with short pens that fit into the pen holder on these devices. The
XPAD includes a longer, thicker pen. If you want a longer pen for the XSLATE or XBOOK, a handle
accessory can be ordered with the longer pen.
Capacitive Pens
Capacitive pens work with the tablet’s touchscreen and are sometimes called passive pens. The short
capacitive pen does not need a battery. The long capacitive pen uses a AAAA battery. These two
pens do not require a pen digitizer in the tablet. They work with the tablet’s touchscreen directly.
Active Digitizer Pens
If the L10 tablet is ordered with an active Wacom digitizer built in to the screen, you will receive one
of the two pens pictured below. These Wacom-compatible pens allow for a large range of pressure
sensitivity, tilt detection and hover capability. Hover lets you see where the pen is pointing before
the tip touches the display. These pens are frequently called
active pens.
You can order additional active or capacitive pens from the L10 Accessories web page. Scroll down
and tap to open the Input Devices section. You can order the Stylus Tip Kit for active pens from the
Input section of the Accessories site.
