System Power States 2
Before you begin using the Point 1600 pen tablet, familiarize yourself with the
different system power states that the pen tablet 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 power 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 state
Some system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display
screen may be turned off (depending on how your system is configured). The
system returns to the Fully On state when pen activity or other input is detected.
• Suspend mode
System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve
power. Power to memory remains on, maintaining active data including files and
programs that were open or running before system operation was suspended. The
system does not respond to the pen.
• Off state
All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not
respond to the pen or other input.
