Step 4: Calibrate the digitizer
With a Tablet PC, you frequently use a pen or touch instead of a mouse and keyboard for
input. Use the pen or your finger to move around the screen, and tap the screen to click. Use
Tablet PC Input Panel and handwriting recognition to enter text.
The digitizer detects the position of the pen or your finger on the display. You should
calibrate the digitizer the first time you start the Tablet PC. You calibrate the digitizer
separately for pen and touch.
You should calibrate the digitizer again whenever the pointer does not align with the pen
tip or finger. For information on using a pointer with touch, see "Using touch (optional)" on
page 27.
Note: Touch is an optional feature for the Tablet PC.
To calibrate the digitizer
1. Press the Dashboard button ( ) to start Motion Dashboard.
You can use Motion Dashboard to configure your Tablet PC and to start commonly used
tablet applications. See "Using Motion Dashboard" on page 24.
2. Under Pen & Tablet, tap Calibrate Digitizer.
3. Tap the pen or your finger on the display, depending on whether you are calibrating for
pen or touch.
4. Follow the instructions in the calibration program.
Note: If you are left-handed, see "How do I adjust the Tablet PC for left-handed use?" on
page 73.
