Motion Computing M1400 manual Ending Accidental Right-Clicks

Chapter 4 Using Your Motion Tablet PC

•Practice pressing the pen function button with both your index finger and thumb to see which you prefer.

•Relax your grip. Only a light touch is needed to write with the pen.

•With a little practice, you will learn how to tap on the Tablet PC display to activate buttons and menus.

•The more precise your handwritten input, the more accurate the Tablet PC will be in converting it to text. You can use printed or cursive hand- writing, but a mixture of upper and lowercase letters works best.

•When you hold the pen over the Tablet PC display, a pointer (small dot) appears under the pen tip on the display and moves with the pen on the display.

•To select something on the display, line up this pointer before you touch (tap) the pen to the display surface. The digitizer under the Tablet PC dis- play reads the position of the pointer, not where you touch the pen to the display.

CAUTION: Do not write on the Tablet PC display with ink pens or other sharp objects that could damage it. Do not use permanent markers that may damage the display.

A comparison of the pen and mouse operations is made below:

Ending Accidental Right-Clicks

If you find that you accidentally press the pen button when you write, you may want to deactivate the pen button. (You will still be able to open right-click menus by pressing and holding the pen against the display surface.)

1.Double-tap the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the System Tray, located in the lower right-hand corner of the display window. This opens Tablet and Pen Settings. (You can also access this through the Windows Control Panel.)
