Entering Data 29
E-EQ-MX7RG-B MX7 Reference Guide
Using the Stylus
Note: This section is directed to the MX7 daily user. The assumption is that the mobile device
has been configured and the touch panel calibrated by the System Administrator prior to
releasing the MX7 for daily use. The touchscreen should be calibrated before initial use.
The stylus performs the same function as the mouse that is used to point to and click elements on
a desktop computer. The stylus is used in the same manner as a mouse – single tap or double tap
to select menu options, drag the stylus across text to select, hold the stylus down to activate slider
bars, etcetera.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the
stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. The touchscreen responds to an actuation force
(touch) of 4 oz. (or greater) of pressure.
The stylus can be used in conjunction with the keyboard and scanner and an input/output device
connected to the serial port.
• Touch the stylus to the field of the data entry form to receive the next data feed.
• The cursor begins to flash in the field.
• The unit is ready to accept data from either the physical keypad, virtual keyboard, or the
integrated scanner.
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil, an abrasive or sharp object to write on the touchscreen.
