Tip: If you prefer to see the screen cursor slightly offset from the actual
position of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot showing that offset from
the crosshairs. For example, to have the screen cursor appear 1/10th of an
inch above and to the left of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot 1/10th
of an inch below and to the right of the crosshairs.
