Q: How do I calibrate the Tablet PC pen?

A: The first time you use your Tablet PC, you should calibrate your pen for both portrait and landscape orientations. In just a few seconds, calibration ensures the accuracy of the pen and adjusts the digitizer's performance for different users. Be sure to hold the pen just as you would a normal writing pen when completing the calibration exercise.

If the on-screen pointer does not seem to line up with the tip of the pen, because someone else has used your Tablet PC and adjusted it for his or her own use, recalibrate it to your tapping patterns.

Recalibrate if you write with the opposite hand from the previous user, for example, a right-handed writer to left-handed writer.

Use one of the following options to open the calibration program.

  • Press Hot Key 1, to open the Motion Dashboard. In the Motion Dashboard tap the Calibrate button.
  • In the system tray, double-tap (the tablet and pen settings icon), and then tap the Pen Options tab.

    On the calibration screen, tap the crosshair each time it appears, and then click OK.
