Using the Stylistic 1200 Pen Tablet
This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and
system functions that you need to be familiar with to use the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet.
System States 2
Before you begin using the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet, familiarize yourself with the
different system states that the system can use. Being familiar with these system
states will help you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, resume, suspend,
or shut down the system when you begin a new session or end your current session.
System behavior for each system state (or mode) is described briefly in the following,
with each system state listed in decreasing order of power usage:
• Fully On state
The system is running and the display screen is on. The system responds to the
pen or other input.
• Idle and Standby states
Some system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display
screen may be turned off. The system returns to the Fully On state when pen
activity or other input is detected.
• Suspend-to-RAM mode
System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve
power. Power to memory is on, maintaining data in programs that were running
before system operation was suspended. The system does not respond to the pen.
• Suspend-to-Disk mode
System operation is suspended. All system functions are turned off to conserve
power. Active data in programs that were running before suspending system
operation is stored on the hard disk drive. The system does not respond to the pen
or other input.
• Fully Off state
All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not
respond to the pen or other input.
Your system may be configured to enter some of these states automatically after a
period of inactivity to conserve battery power.
