3. Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.
4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it
appears in the tables.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
That’s all there is to it! When you lift the stylus from the screen, your
handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and p rints the letter at
the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke
for the next character you want to write.
Important: You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti
writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the
Graffiti writing area, your handheld does not recognize
them as text characters.
Graffiti tips
When using Graffiti writing, keep these tips in mind:
■Accuracy improves wh en you write large characters. You shoul d
draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
■To delete characters, simply set the insertion p oint to the right of
the character you want to delete and make the backspace stroke
(a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.
■Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate
recognition errors.
■Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the
sides of the Graffiti writing area.
■Press firmly.
