Calibrating the Pen
If the cursor does not appear under the tip of the pen or appears to be misaligned with the pen tip, you should calibrate the pen. The pen tablet determines where the pen tip touches the display screen in order to determine the correct location of the cursor.
Calibrating the pen may be necessary to accurately align the cursor with the actual position of the pen tip in the following situations:
•The previous user of the pen tablet writes with the opposite hand and has calibrated the pen tablet.
•The Point 1600 pen tablet has been in use for some time without being recalibrated.
•The screen has been rotated from landscape (wide) to portrait (tall) orientation, or from portrait to landscape orientation. (Note that rotating the screen does not affect pen calibration, however, changing the screen orientation may cause you to hold the pen tablet and pen in a slightly different position.)
To calibrate the pen:
1.From the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel.
Note that if the pen is too far out of calibration, you cannot perform the pen calibration procedure. In this is the case, the system prompts you to restore default calibration settings. Tap the Default Calibration button. You can calibrate the pen after default settings are restored.
2.Position the pen tablet as you normally do during use. (Hold the pen at the angle that you regularly use.)
Ensure that you touch only the screen with the tip of the pen during the calibration procedure. Touching your hand or any object other than the pen tip on the screen will cause inaccurate pen calibration.
3.Perform the calibration steps according to the instructions on the screen. The calibration utility displays a
