Using the Stylistic 1200 Pen Tablet
This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and system functions that you need to be familiar with to use the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet.
System States
Before you begin using the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet, familiarize yourself with the different system states that the system can use. Being familiar with these system states will help you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, resume, suspend, or shut down the system when you begin a new session or end your current session. System behavior for each system state (or mode) is described briefly in the following, with each system state listed in decreasing order of power usage:
•Fully On state
The system is running and the display screen is on. The system responds to the pen or other input.
•Idle and Standby states
Some system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display screen may be turned off. The system returns to the Fully On state when pen activity or other input is detected.
•
System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve power. Power to memory is on, maintaining data in programs that were running before system operation was suspended. The system does not respond to the pen.
•
System operation is suspended. All system functions are turned off to conserve power. Active data in programs that were running before suspending system operation is stored on the hard disk drive. The system does not respond to the pen or other input.
•Fully Off state
All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not respond to the pen or other input.
Your system may be configured to enter some of these states automatically after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.
