How to Use Stylus-Only Mode
Before you can use stylus-only mode, you must enable access in the settings. For more information, see How to Enable
Access to Stylus-Only Mode.
1. Remove the stylus from its holder.
2. In the Navigation bar, tap the Stylus-Only Mode icon .
3. To return to Touch Mode, tap the Stylus-Only Mode icon again.
NOTE Your NVIDIA device automatically disables stylus-only mode when you return the stylus to its holder.
The device also disables stylus-only mode when you press the power button quickly to put the device to
sleep. This allows you to continue using the touchscreen even if you left the device in stylus mode but
do not have the stylus with you.
How to Optimize Palm Rejection for Your Writing Style
Your tablet includes palm-rejection technology. This technology ensures that the touch screen responds only to the stylus
while you are writing, even if you rest your hand on the screen while you write. When the stylus is not touching the screen,
the touchscreen responds normally to your finger.
If your palm is sometimes misidentified when you reposition your hand on the screen, then you can change the
DirectStylus pen-to-touch delay to optimize palm rejection for your writing style. Pen-to-touch delay temporarily
suppresses non-stylus touches during and after stylus input. The default delay of 0.5 seconds works well for most users.
If you do a lot of stylus interactions with your palm on the screen, select a longer delay. If you do not put your palm on the
screen and you switch quickly between stylus and finger inputs, select a shorter delay.
1. Go to Settings > DirectStylus.
2. Tap Set timer to activate finger touch after pen use.
To remove any delay, tap Disable touch only during pen use.
To add a delay, tap one of the delay options.
How to Adjust the Stylus for Left-Handed Use
Left-handed users tend to place their palm on the left side of the screen. In left-handed mode, the palm rejection algorithm
rejects stray touch inputs from the left side of the screen.
1. Go to Settings > DirectStylus.
2. Under Handedness, tap Left-handed to select the check box. To return to right-
handed mode, tap again to clear the check box.
How to Show or Hide the Draw Cursor
The draw cursor shows when the stylus touches the screen and provides precision visual feedback.
1. Go to Settings > DirectStylus.
