Setting Up the Tablet PC

Calibrating the Pen

The pen can function at the default calibration or at a calibration set by another user. However, Compaq highly recommends that you use the pen only while it is calibrated to your personal handwriting and mouse action motions. Calibration optimizes pen performance for all users and particularly for left-handed users.

To calibrate the pen, select Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware icon > Tablet and Pen Settings window > Pen Options tab, then follow the instructions on the screen.

As you perform the calibration:

Tap the pen in the exact center of each of the calibration markers. The calibration markers are displayed on the screen as plus signs (+).

Be sure to calibrate the pen for use in both portrait and landscape orientations.

You can display information about any setting in the Tablet and Pen Settings window by selecting the question mark button in the upper right corner of the window, then selecting a setting. A definition, explanation, or procedure is displayed.
