Working with the Pen Screen
When the pen screen is active, you can steer the cursor and perform many functions by simply
hovering close to the screen without actually touching it. Other functions are initiated by
pressing the tip to the screen surface to activate the tip switch or by pressing the side button
switch (refer to Table 5 for more information).
Yo ur X7 Active Pen
The pen that comes with your X7 (Figure 10) is stored in a slot on the back panel (see Figure 5)
and has circuitry that interacts with the digitizer assembly built into the pen screen. The digitizer
detects the pen tip close to the screen and activates certain functions like steering the cursor or
performing a right click action if the pen is allowed to hover for a few seconds. Pressing the tip
to the screen activates a tip switch that performs a left-click action.
