Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Solution
If you're using the Block Recognizer input
method, characters must be written a certain
way. See Appendix A, Block Recognizer
Characters for information about how to write
character strokes.
Make the character strokes in the lower
character entry area on the screen — not on the
display part of the screen.
Make sure you are writing lower-case letters,
upper-case letters, and numbers in the
appropriate sections of the writing area. See
Entering Information Using the Input Panel on
page 2-17.
Align the screen. Choose Align Screen from the
System tab under Start/Settings, or hold down
the Function button and press the Action
button.
Delete unused memos and records. You can
save these records on your computer.
Adjust the memory allocation. Select Start, then
Settings, and select the System tab. Tap
Memory and adjust the slider.
Remove programs you no longer use. Select
Start, then Settings, and select the System tab.
Tap Remove Programs, select the unused
program and tap Remove.
Confirm that the terminals are 5" apart, and
there is a clear path between the two devices.
Adjust the room lighting or move to a different
location.
