Calibrating the Pen

You calibrate the pen to adjust the cursor position on the screen relative to the position of the pen. If the cursor is not displayed under the pen tip when you use the pen, you should calibrate the pen.

Pen calibration may be required in the following situations:

•The previous user of the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet writes with the opposite hand.

•The system has been in use for some time and the pen has not been recalibrated.

•You have rotated the screen from landscape (wide) to portrait (tall) orientation, or from portrait to landscape orientation.

To calibrate the pen:

1.Choose one of the following:

•If you are using Windows 95: From the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel, then double-tap Handwriter Settings. Tap the General property sheet. On the General property sheet, tap the Pen Calibration button.

•If you are using Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT: In the Control Panel, double-tap the Calibrate icon.

The screen shows the instructions for calibrating the pen.

2.Position the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet as you normally do during use. Be sure to hold the pen at the angle that you regularly use.

3.Perform the calibration steps according to the instructions on the screen. The calibration utility displays a cross-hair symbol in each corner of the screen, one corner at a time. Hold the pen as you normally do while using the system and, as accurately as possible, tap the center of each cross-hair as it is displayed.

A dialog box is displayed after you tap the last of the four cross-hair symbols.
