The
X-Pad's
Surface
Area
You should
know
that there
are two areas
on
the
Writing
Surface
of the
Pad.
They are
the:
• Display
Area.
This
area takes up
most
of the Writing
Surface of
the
Pad. Anytime
you move
the
Pen
into this
area,
a display
will appear
on
the Screen.
•
Menu
Area.
This
area makes
up the "margins"
of the
Pad,
Anytime
the
Pen
moves
into
this area, the
Screen
doesn't
display
anything
but something
does happen.
Well
go
into
this
in more
detail later in
this
section.
