ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Devices ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The objects that are in the Devices folder depend upon the type of device or
devices you installed. These device objects can include:  Pen, Touch, and
Display. You might not have all three objects (for example, the Touch object
only exists if you installed a touch-sensitive screen). If you installed an
opaque tablet, it does not have a display; therefore, the Display object would
not exist.

Pen object
          Use the Pen object to customize the timing or the actions that occur
          when you double-tap, pause, or use the buttons on your pen.

Touch object
          Use the Touch object to customize the timing, location, or the
          actions that occur when you double-tap, pause, or touch with your
          finger.

Display object
          Use the Display object to customize the fluorescent lighting timeout
          or the actions that occur when you use the bezel buttons on your
          display device.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Pen ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Pen object to customize the timing and the actions that occur with your
pen.  You can:

o Adjust the amount of time that can elapse between two taps of the pen before
  the system recognizes the double-tap action.
o Adjust the amount of time that your pen must pause before you can move or
  select an object without the system attempting to recognize the stroke as a
  gesture.
o Assign commands to barrel buttons to perform specific commands (if your pen
  has barrel buttons)


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Customizing Timing Actions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Move the top slider arm to adjust the amount of time that can elapse between
two taps of the pointing device. The interval determines whether two taps are
interpreted as a double-tap or two single taps. To test the setting, tap twice
in the Double-tap here area. When the system interprets a double-tap, the test
area switches between a white box a black box.

Move the bottom slider arm to adjust the amount of time that your pointing
device must pause (touch and remain motionless) before you can select text or a
range of objects without the system attempting to recognize the stroke as a
gesture.

To test the new setting, pause momentarily on the text in the Test area. Wait
for a beep, and then select the text to test the pause time.

By default, the pause time is enabled.  To disable the pause time, tap on the
Pause time enabled check box to remove the check mark in the check box.

For a detailed explanation of each field, double-tap on one of the following:

o Double-tap rate

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Double-Tap Rate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Move this slider arm to adjust the amount of time that can elapse between two
taps. The interval determines whether two taps are interpreted as a double-tap
or two single taps. Try the new setting by tapping twice in the Double-tap here
area. When the system interprets a double-tap, the test area switches between a
white box and a black box.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Pause Time before Move or Select ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Move this slider arm to adjust the pause time (how long your pointing device
must touch and remain motionless) before the system switches to mouse mode.

Try the new settings by pausing momentarily on the text in the Test area. Wait
for a beep, and then select the text to test the pause time.

If you are not satisfied with the pause time, adjust the Pause time before
select setting.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Barrel Commands ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Enter gesture mode
          Whenever you use the pen with the barrel button held, the system
          switches to gesture mode, which allows you to draw a gesture.  This
          is helpful if you want to draw a gesture on a program where pause
          time is disabled. Another example of where this is helpful is in the
          drawing areas of the Sketch Pad and Telepen programs.

Mouse button 2 mode
          Press this button while you are using the pen to do those actions you
          would usually do with mouse button 2 pressed, such as moving and
          copying objects.

          When this button is held, any action you do with the pen will act as
          if mouse button 2 is pressed.  Hold this button while you use the pen
          to keep the system in mouse button 2 mode.

Mouse button 3 mode
          Press this button while you are using the pen to do those actions you
          would usually do with mouse button 3 pressed.

          When this button is held, any action you do with the pen will act as
          if mouse button 3 is pressed.  Hold this button while you use the pen
          to keep the system in mouse button 3 mode.

Mouse button 1 and 2 mode
          Press this button while you are using the pen to do those actions you
          would usually do with mouse buttons 1 and 2 pressed.

          When this button is held, any action you do with the pen will act as
          if mouse buttons 1 and 2 are pressed.  Hold this button while you use
          the pen to keep the system in mouse button 1 and 2 mode.

No button assignment
          No action is assigned to the barrel button.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Bezel Commands ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Enter gesture mode
          Whenever you press this bezel button, your next pen operation is
          interpreted as a gesture.  If you press and hold this bezel button,
          your subsequent pen operations are interpreted as gestures.

          Note: For gesture mode and the mouse button x modes, the initial
          press of the bezel button places the system in the mode.  If you
          press the bezel button a second time before doing a pen operaton, the
          mode is cancelled.

Mouse button 2 mode
          Whenever you press this bezel button, your next pen operation acts
          like a mouse operation with mouse button 2 pressed. If you press and
          hold this bezel button, your subsequent pen operations act mouse
          operations with mouse button 2 pressed.

Mouse button 3 mode
          Whenever you press this bezel button, your next pen operation acts
          like a mouse operation with mouse button 3 pressed. If you press and
          hold this bezel button, your subsequent pen operations act like mouse
          operations with mouse button 3 pressed.

Mouse button 1 and 2 mode
          Whenever you press this bezel button, your next pen operation acts
          like a mouse operation with mouse buttons 1 and 2 pressed. If you
          press and hold this bezel button, your subsequent pen operations act
          like mouse operations with mouse buttons 1 and 2 pressed.

No button assignment
          No action is assigned to the bezel button.

Press Alt+Esc
          Whenever you press this bezel button, the system acts as if the Alt
          and Esc keys were pressed.

          and Esc keys were pressed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Touch ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the Touch object to customize the timing, location, or actions that occur
when you use your finger as an input device.  You can:

o Adjust the amount of time that can elapse between two taps of your finger
  before the system recognizes the double-tap action
o Adjust the amount of time that your finger must pause before you can move or
  select an object without the system attempting to recognize the stroke as a
  gesture.
o Adjust the touch offset, which is the distance between the location you touch
  and the location of the object you want to select.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Adjusting Touch Offset ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Offset page allows you to adjust the touch offset, which means the distance
between where you touch and what you want to select.  As an example, you might
want to touch just below something you want to select so that your selection
remains in view.  To adjust the offset:

 1. Touch the Touch offset check box.  When you touch, the mouse pointer
    appears on the check box indicating the selection.
 2. Remove your finger.  A message is displayed indicating that a new touch
    offset was set.
 3. Test the offset adjustment by selecting one of the color check boxes in the
    Test here area.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Calibration Program ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

When you touch with a pen, the mouse pointer should move to the location you
touched.  If your pen is not properly aligned with the pointer, you might be
able to better align the pen using the Calibration program.  The Calibration
program, which is available only on those devices that support calibration,
supplies alignment adjustments for the position of the digitizer in relation to
the display panel.

To see if your display supports this feature:

 1. Display the pop-up menu for the Display object.
 2. Tap on the arrow to the right of Open.  If the Calibrate choice is
    available, you can tap on Calibrate to start the calibration program.

Once the program is displayed, tap on the Help push button if you need
assistance with the program, or refer to the documentation that came with your
device.
