Pen and Active Digitizer

Using the Pen

You can use the LifeBook T901 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.

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.
Getting to Know Your Tablet PC
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

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 T901 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").
