Using The Pen - Fujitsu Stylistic Manual

USING THE PEN

You can use the Stylistic pen to generate and
create electronic "ink", to select items, and to
navigate through programs on the Tablet PC.
Programs that support handwriting recognition
also allow you to write characters directly on
the screen with the pen. You can also use the
pen as a drawing tool.

The Stylistic pen is a sophisticated, high-
quality electronic instrument that can be
damaged if used improperly. Treat the pen
as you would any precision device. The
following list contains guidelines for proper
pen handling:
Do not gesture with the pen, use it as a
pointer, or tap it on surfaces other than
the Tablet PC screen.
Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the
pen; it is designed for inserting and
removing the pen from the pen holder
and for attaching a pen tether.
Never store the pen with the tip bearing
the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip
down in a pencil cup). Storing the pen
tip down could distort the internal
mechanism over a period of time
(especially in higher temperatures),
causing the tip to act as if it is always
depressed. To avoid damage, the pen
should be stored in the pen holder
when not in use.

Barrel Switch
The screen reacts when the pen tip is
approximately 1/8 inch (3-5mm) from the
screen. The pen has three switches: a tip
switch and a barrel button toggle switch with
switches at both ends. When activated, the tip
switch corresponds to the left mouse button,
and the front toggle (closest to the pen tip)
barrel button switch, when used in combination
with the tip switch, corresponds to the right
mouse button. The rear toggle of the barrel
button switch acts as an electronic ink "eraser".
• Use only the pen provided with your
Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that
were not designed for the Stylistic Tablet
PC.
• Fujitsu warranty will not cover screen
scratches that arise from misuse (e.g,
using sharp and pointed objects or any
object other than the Fujitsu Stylus Pen
to write on the surface of the screen),
accident, or unsuitable operating
environment
Here are some hints that may help you use the
pen more effectively:
• To activate the tip switch, tap or hold the
pen tip against the screen.
• To activate the barrel button switch, press
and hold the end of the button you wish to
use (front toggle is the right mouse button
switch; the rear toggle acts as an electronic
"eraser".
• To move the cursor, hold the pen tip within
1/8 inch (3 - 5mm) from the screen and
move the pen.
• To start a program, double-tap the pen tip
(tap the pen tip twice rapidly) on the program
icon as you would double-click a mouse.
• To select an object, tap the pen tip on the
object once.
• To "double-click" an object, tap twice on
the object quickly.
