Using The Stylus - LXE MX8 Reference Manual

Entering Data

Using the Stylus

Note:
The stylus performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click elements on a
desktop computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or double tap to
select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider
bars, etcetera.
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. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force
(touch) of 4 oz. (or greater) of pressure.
The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device
connected to the serial port.
• Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed.
• The cursor begins to flash in the field.
• The unit is ready to accept data from either the physical keypad, virtual keyboard, or the
integrated scanner.
Note:
E-EQ-MX8RG-A
This section is directed to the MX8 daily user. The assumption is that the mobile device
has been configured and the touch panel calibrated by the System Administrator prior to
releasing the MX8 for daily use. The touchscreen should be calibrated before initial use.
Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil, an abrasive or sharp object to write on the touchscreen.
