The Electronic Interwrite Interactive Pen
The Interactive Pen is an input device to the computer. You will use it to write
and draw in Annotation Mode and to control mouse movements in Mouse
Mode by moving the tip of the Pen just above (
in prox
of)
or touching the
Pad’s
workspace
surface. When the Pen Tip is in prox or touching the Pad’s
workspace, it simulates the same effects you would get using the left mouse
button both in Windows and on the Mac.
Using the Pen
When the Pen is in prox, press the left end of the Rocker Button to simulate a
left mouse button double-click in Windows and on the Mac. Press the right
end of the Rocker Button to simulate a right mouse button click in Windows
and a Ctrl-click on the Mac. In Windows, hold down the left Rocker Button
and touch the Pen Tip to the Pad’s workspace to erase. On the Mac, with the
Pen Tip touching the Pad’s surface, hold down the left Rocker Button to erase.
Sleep Mode
The Pen goes into
Sleep Mode
after about two minutes of inactivity to con-
serve power. Touching the Pen to a surface, or clicking one of its Rocker
Buttons, wakes up the Pen. When the Pen is
in prox
, the
Power Status Light
on the Pad will go from flashing to solid green. It goes back to flashing green
when the Pen is
out of prox
.
