Calibrating the Pen to Increase Its Accuracy
Be sure to calibrate your pen in both portrait and landscape orientations the
first time you start your Tablet PC, then at other times if the cursor does not
seem to line up with the pen tip. Calibration ensures the accuracy of the pen
and adjusts the Tablet PC display for each person who uses it. The Tablet PC
stores pen calibration and settings on a per-user basis.
1. Open the Motion Dashboard and tap Calibrate Digitizer.
Or double-tap the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in the sys-
tem tray, located in the lower right-hand corner of the dis-
play window. This opens the Tablet and Pen Settings
window.
NOTE: This icon may be hidden in
the system tray. Tap the system tray
left-arrow to open all hidden icons.
2. Carefully tap the pen point pre-
cisely in the center of each of the
four calibration crosshairs as
they appear. During calibration,
try to position the Tablet PC as
close to the way you will use it
as possible, whether holding it in portrait or landscape orientation or
using it in a FlexDock or Hardtop Keyboard. Remember that chang-
ing pen or display angles affects the calibration.
3. Rotate the Tablet PC display and repeat as needed for another orien-
tation.
