Calibrating the Pen 3
You calibrate the pen to adjust the cursor position on the screen relative to the
position of the pen. If the cursor is not displayed under the pen tip when you use the
pen, you should calibrate the pen.
Pen calibration may be required in the following situations:
• The previous user of the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet writes with the opposite hand.
• The system has been in use for some time and the pen has not been recalibrated.
• You have rotated the screen from landscape (wide) to portrait (tall) orientation, or
from portrait to landscape orientation.
To calibrate the pen:
1. Choose one of the following:
• If you are using Windows 95: From the Start menu, choose Settings, then
choose Control Panel, then double-tap Handwriter Settings. Tap the General
property sheet. On the General property sheet, tap the Pen Calibration
button.
• If you are using Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT: In the Control
Panel, double-tap the Calibrate icon.
The screen shows the instructions for calibrating the pen.
2. Position the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet as you normally do during use. Be sure to
hold the pen at the angle that you regularly use.
3. Perform the calibration steps according to the instructions on the screen. The
calibration utility displays a cross-hair symbol in each corner of the screen, one
corner at a time. Hold the pen as you normally do while using the system and, as
accurately as possible, tap the center of each cross-hair as it is displayed.
A dialog box is displayed after you tap the last of the four cross-hair symbols.
