period of inactivity. This period can be set from one to five
minutes, in one-minute intervals. Check the

PPT 2700 doesn’t recognize my
handwriting.
For your PPT 2700 to recognize handwriting input with the
stylus, characters must be written a certain way. See Appendix B,
Character Recognizer
for information about how to write
character strokes.
Make the character strokes in the lower character entry area on
the screen — not on the display part of the screen.
Make sure you are writing lower-case letters in the left-hand side,
numbers in the right-hand side, and upper-case letters in the
center of the writing area.
Tapping the screen buttons or icons
does not activate the corresponding
feature.
Align the screen. Choose
Align Screen
from the
System
tab under
Start/Settings
, or hold down the Function button and press the
Action button.
