Pen and Active Digitizer
Using the Pen
You can use the LifeBook T Series 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 LifeBook T Series 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 guidelines should be observed:
• 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.
• 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.

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 is programmable
and by default, corresponds to a left-double-click
of a mouse. You can also program it to act as an
electronic ink "eraser".
The functions of the rear toggle and the tip click
Tip Switch
pressure can be changed by clicking [Start] ->
Control Panel, and double-clicking the Fujitsu Pen
Settings icon.
To change the rear toggle function, select the
drop-down list to select a new function, then click
[Apply]. If you don't want the rear toggle to have
any function, select Ignore from the list.
Adjusting the click pressure determines how
much pressure must be put on the pen tip in order
for the screen to react. The softer it is set, less
pressure is required; the harder it is set, more
pressure is required. To change the click
pressure, use the slider bar to make the click
pressure harder or softer, then click [Apply].
• Use only the pen provided with your Tablet
PC. Do not use substitutes that were not
designed for the LifeBook T Series Tablet
PC.
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").
