Chapter 2 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.
When you use the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet, you can change the current system state in a number of ways, depending on what state the system is in. To determine the current system state, observe the Power icon in the Status display. The following table gives the different system states represented by the Power icon and describes how you can change the system state from the current state. (Note that if the Power icon is not visible, either the Fully Off or Suspend-to-Disk state is indicated.
Starting the System 2 Follow the procedure below to start the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet. Before you begin, confirm that the system is in the Fully Off state. To do so, observe the Status display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status display, the system is in the Fully Off state and it is safe to perform this procedure. If the Power icon is visible (either blinking or on continuously), do not perform this procedure.
A summary of each hotpad’s function is given below: • Programmable hotpad This hotpad can be programmed for application-specific functions. Contact your local help desk or reseller if you need assistance using the Programmable hotpad. • Volume hotpads: These hotpads set the volume of the pen tablet speaker, or headphones if used. (Note that the speaker is disabled when headphones are plugged in.) • Speaker Mute hotpad This hotpad turns the pen tablet speaker, or headphones if used, on or off.
Note: You may need to tap the pen tip against the screen initially to turn on the pen. The pen turns off automatically to conserve the pen battery if it is not used for a period of approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Here are some hints that may help you use the pen more effectively. • To activate the Tip switch, tap or hold the pen tip against the screen. • To activate the Barrel button, press the Barrel button and hold the Barrel button in as you tap the pen tip on the screen.
Shutting Down the System 2 Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your system: 1. If system operation is suspended, resume system operation. See “Resuming System Operation” later in this chapter for details. 2. Save your work and close all running programs. 3. Choose one of the following: • Windows for Workgroups users: Exit Windows. • Windows 95 and Windows NT users: Choose Shut Down from the Start menu and carry out the Shut Down command. 4. Turn off the Power switch.
The Power icon either flashes or is not displayed when system operation is suspended, depending on how your system is configured. At this point, programs that were running are stopped, active data is saved, and the system enters one of two different low-power states, or suspend modes, as explained in the following. 2. Observe the Power icon in the Status display to determine which suspend mode your system is using. (Note that the Battery Gauge icon is visible in the Status display.
• The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RAM mode. Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged. If you will not be using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the system and turn off the Power switch rather than using Suspend-to-RAM mode. • If the battery pack charge drops to the Low-Battery Warning level while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system will beep periodically.
Note that power to several system components must be restored before system operation resumes; allow sufficient time for system operation to resume before attempting to use the system. If your system uses Suspend-to-Disk mode, it will take several seconds longer to resume operation compared to using Suspend-to-RAM mode; time is needed to read data from the hard disk drive. 2. Use the system as you normally would once system operation resumes.
battery pack in Fast Charge mode; at 90% or higher, Slow Charge mode is used. This prevents the battery pack from being overcharged. Also note the following with respect to charging the battery pack: • You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the system without interrupting the charging process; however, using the system while the battery pack is charging will cause the battery pack to charge at a slower rate.
Note: When installed in the pen tablet, the battery pack provides power to some system components—even when the system is in the Fully Off state. When the battery pack is removed, power is supplied to these components by a “bridge” battery built into the pen tablet. To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store the pen tablet with a charged battery pack installed.
Conserving Battery Power 2 You can extend the charge life of your battery pack by conserving battery power. A fully charged battery pack can run the system under normal use in most applications for approximately 3 to 4 hours. Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is configured. Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power: • Use an external power source such as the AC adapter to power the system when possible.
Chapter 3 Care and Maintenance This chapter gives you pointers on how to care for and maintain your Stylistic 1200 pen tablet. Protecting the Display Screen 3 To protect the display screen, use a screen protector with the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet.
Protecting the Stylistic 1200 Pen Tablet in Harsh Environments 3 The Stylistic 1200 pen tablet is designed for use in environments where there is no direct exposure to rain, mists, sprays, dirt, or other abrasive particles. The Stylistic 1200 harsh environment case and the Stylistic 1200 screen protector can provide some protection in these environments.
Replacing the Pen Tip 3 The pen tip is made of a soft plastic material. With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up particles of dust or dirt that can scratch the display screen. Also, a damaged or warped pen tip may not move freely, causing unpredictable results when using the pen. If your pen exhibits any of these problems, replace the pen tip. To do so: 1. Remove the pen tip by pulling it straight out of the pen. 2. Insert a new pen tip into the pen until it fits snugly.
Replacing the Pen Battery 3 The pen battery has a typical life of about 1 year under normal use. More frequent use will shorten battery life. The pen uses one size AAAA 1.5 volt alkaline battery. If your system does not respond to the pen, or your pen is producing unpredictable results, replace the pen battery. To do so: 1. Open the pen by twisting the pen barrel counterclockwise. AAAA Battery Pen Barrel Spring Polarity Icon 2. Remove the battery from the pen barrel. 3.
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.
4. In the dialog box, tap your response. (If you don’t tap any of the buttons within 20 seconds, your new calibration settings are discarded and previous calibration settings are used.) • If you are satisfied that you tapped the cross-hairs accurately, tap OK. (The taps that you performed in step 3 are then used to calibrate the screen.) • If you do not want to use your taps to calibrate the screen, tap Cancel. • If you want to try again, tap Recalibrate. The calibration instructions reappear.
Display Screen Is Blank or Difficult to Read 3 If the display screen on your Stylistic 1200 pen tablet appears blank or is difficult to read, confirm that the system is running (the Power icon is displayed continuously on the Status display), and check the following: • Monochrome or DSTN color systems only: The display contrast or brightness settings may be set to extreme high or low levels causing the screen to appear blank. Try adjusting the contrast and brightness settings using the hotpads.
Pen Tablet Is Not Responding to the Pen 3 If your pen tablet is not responding to the pen, check the following: • Ensure that the pen tip moves freely. Replace the pen tip if it is damaged or warped. See “Replacing the Pen Tip” earlier in this chapter. • Ensure that the pen battery is in good condition. Replace the pen battery if the age or condition of the battery is suspect. See “Replacing the Pen Battery” earlier in this chapter.
