24 Chapter 3 Using your Tablet PC
Switching input modes using the switching gesture
If you have configured the input mode to Auto mode, you use the switching gesture to
change modes. The icon in the notification area changes to indicate the current mode.
Selecting a switching gesture
Use the switching gesture to switch between pen mode and touch mode. You must have
the input mode set to Auto to use a switching gesture.
To select a switching gesture
1. Open the WriteTouch Tablet Settings window (page 23).
2. Tap the Interaction Options tab.
3. For Switching Gestures, select the appropriate option.
Using touch mode
With touch mode selected, you can use your finger directly on the screen to do things like
select, drag, and open files.
A touch on the touch screen with your finger is equivalent to a mouse click. The following
table shows the similarities between mouse functions and touch functions.
Resetting touch input
Use touch tuning to reset the touch sensor to the default calibration. Occasionally, you may
be prompted to calibrate the touch sensor if the software detects that it is necessary.
To calibrate touch input
1. Open the WriteTouch Tablet Settings window (page 23).
2. Tap the Digitizer Options tab.
3. Tap the Reset button.
To calibrate the tablet pen, see “Calibrate the digitizer” on page 6.
