Tapping the Touch Screen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus
from the screen.
Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.
Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen.

l

l

A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time.
A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon , usually located in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right click. The
mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks.
When a dialog box is too large for the display, tap and drag the dialog box up or down or from side to side to view the remainder
of the dialog box.
Note: If the mouse icon is not displayed, this feature can be enabled by tapping the PenMount icon
From the menu that pops up, tap the Right Button to enable the mouse icon. When this option is enabled, a
checkmark is displayed in the menu.
A stylus replacement kit is available.
