Calibrate the screen for stylus accuracy
People hold and move pens a little differently from one another, and this affects
the stylus accuracy. You can make your Scribbler respond better to your stylus
grip by calibrating the screen – a simple job:
• Select Start on the lower left corner of the screen.
• Select Control Panel on the menu which appears.
• Select Printers and Other Hardware
• Select the Tablet and Pen Settings item.
• Select the Settings tab.
• Select a screen orientation to calibrate: landscape or portrait (go back
and do the other one later) and hold the Scribbler in that orientation.
• Tap the Calibrate… box.
• A screen with four cross-hairs will appear. Hold the stylus as you
normally do and carefully touch the exact center of each cross-hair. As
you touch each one, it disappears. When you touch the last one, the
calibration completes.
• Go back and calibrate the other orientation.
• Go back and set the speed, double tap interval and spatial tolerance to
your liking.
These settings can be re-set at any time, of course. Re-calibrate whenever you
feel that the stylus pointer is not following your motion of the stylus very well.
Note
You can quickly access Tablet and Pen Settings by tapping on
the pen-and-paper icon found on the system toolbar in the lower
right hand corner of the screen.
The Stylus as a writing device
The stylus is also a writing and drawing device. It can be a pen, a pencil, a
brush, a highlighter or an eraser, as you wish. These writing functions can now
be found in many software applications, several of which are bundled with the
Scribbler. To try writing, open the Microsoft Journal application by pressing the
tip of the stylus into the Journal hole on the face of the Scribbler. This will
