Stylistic LT P-600 – Chapter Two

Using the Stylistic LT P-600

Using Your Stylistic LT P-600

This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and system functions of the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet. You should familiarize yourself with this information before you attempt to operate the system.

System States 1

Before you begin using the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet, review the different system states (or modes) that the pen tablet can use. Being familiar with these system states will help you to determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, resume, suspend, or shut down the system when you begin a new session or end your current session. System behavior for each system state is described briefly in the following, with each system state listed in decreasing order of power usage:

• On state

The system is running and the display screen is on.

• Idle state

Some system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display screen may be turned off. The system returns to the On state when pen activity or other input is detected.

• Suspend-to-RAM mode

System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve power. Power to memory is on, maintaining data in programs that were running before system operation was suspended. The system does not respond to the pen or other input when in Suspend-to-RAM mode. Refer to the “Resuming System Operation” section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.

• Save-to-Disk mode

System operation is suspended. All system functions are turned off to conserve power. Active data in programs that were running before suspending system operation is stored on the hard disk drive. The system does not respond to the pen or other input. Refer to the “Resuming System Operation” section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.

• Off state

All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not respond to the pen or other input. The system boots at the next system power-on.

Note: The system consumes the same amount of power whether it is in Save-to-Disk mode or the Off

state.

Your system may be configured to enter some of these states automatically after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.

When you use the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet, you can change the current system state in a number of ways, depending on which state the system is in. To determine the current system state, observe the Power icon in the Status display. Table 2-1, “Changing System States,” on page 14 gives the different system states represented by the Power icon and describes how you can change the system state from the current state.

To enter the Off state, resume system by pressing the Suspend/Resume button, then shut down your system.

To enter the On state, start your system, or resume system operation by pressing the Suspend/Resume button.

To Change State

†

Powering Up the Pen Tablet 1

Follow the procedure below to start the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet. Before you begin, confirm that the system is in the Off state. To do so, observe the Status display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status display, the system is in the Off state or in Save-to-Disk mode and it is safe to perform this procedure. If the Power icon is visible (either blinking or on continuously), do not perform this procedure. See “System States” earlier in this chapter for details on operational modes represented by the Power icon.

1. Ensure that the battery pack in your pen tablet is sufficiently charged, or connect an external power source such as the AC adapter or auto adapter to your pen tablet. See “Status Display” in Chapter 1 to determine the percentage of charge represented by the Battery Gauge icon in the Status display.

2. Press the Suspend/Resume button to start the system.

After performing system initialization, the system starts the operating system installed on the hard disk drive. Once the operating system is running, you can use the system.

Using the Stylistic LT P-600

Shutting Down the System 1

Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your system:

Note: Always use the following procedure unless your system has frozen up and will not allow

normal shutdown. If you need to shut down after your system freezes up, click the recessed Shut Off button located on the back of the system. Do not use the Shut Off button as your normal means of powering down the system; when the Shut Off button is used, all active data is lost.

1. If system operation has been suspended, resume system operation. (See Table 2-1 and “Resuming System Operation” later in this chapter for details.)

2. Save your work and close all running programs.

3. Choose Shut Down from the Windows Start menu and carry out the Shut Down command. The system is now in the Off state.

Suspending Syste m Oper ation 1

The Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet allows you to suspend the system operation without closing programs or exiting the operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system shutdown is not practical or when the battery needs to be changed.

To suspend system operation:

1. Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry out the Standby command from your operating system or power management program. (If your system is configured to suspend operation using Save-to-Disk mode, which is explained later in this procedure, a message is displayed while data

is saved to your hard disk.)

CAUTION

If you are replacing the battery pack, wait until system is off or system operation is suspended and the power icon is flashing before you remove the battery pack. Failure to do so could result in loss of your unsaved data.

The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to-RAM) or is not displayed (Save-to-Disk) when system operation is suspended, depending on how your system is configured. At this point, programs that were running are stopped, active data is saved, and the system enters one of two different low-power states, or suspend modes, as explained in the following paragraphs.

2. Observe the Power icon in the Status display to determine which suspend mode your system is using.

• Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM mode

In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power to RAM while most other system components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the Status display indicates the battery charge level.

Stylistic LT P-600 Pen Tablet - Chapter Two

• Power icon is not displayed: Save-to-Disk mode

In this mode, active data is stored on the hard disk drive and power usage is reduced to the same level used in the Off state. When the system is in Save-to-Disk mode, the Battery Gauge icon is not visible in the Status display. In this mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is lost.

If you have successfully performed this procedure, system operation is now suspended. Refer to “Resuming System Operation” later in this chapter to resume system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system operation:

CAUTIONS

• If the battery goes dead while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, data loss could occur. If the system will be in Suspend-toRAM mode for an extended period of time, be sure to have a fully charged battery installed.

• The system is supported by a bridge battery for approximately five minutes while the main battery is being replaced. Be sure to replace the main battery quickly or use the AC Adapter when replacing the battery.

• You can remove the battery pack while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM or Save-to-Disk modes in order to install a charged battery pack. To prevent losing unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the battery pack.

• Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period of inactivity.

• Your system may be configured to enter Save-to-Disk mode automatically after a period of time

in Suspend-to-RAM mode.

• The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RAM mode. Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged.

Note: If you will not be using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the system rather

than using Suspend-to-RAM mode.

• If the battery pack charge drops to a Low-Battery Warning level while the system is running, the system will beep periodically. If this occurs, suspend system operation, shut down the system, or attach an external power source, such as the AC adapter, to the pen tablet.

• If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is running, the system is forced into a pre-selected mode (Suspend-to-RAM or Save-to-Disk). If this occurs, you must either install a charged battery pack, or connect an appropriate external power source such as the AC adapter before you can resume system operation. (If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays in Suspend-to-RAM mode until power is restored or totally dissipated.)

• Suspending system operation interrupts data communications; therefore, some programs may block the system from suspending to prevent an interruption.

• The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume button may be disabled to prevent accidental

Using the Stylistic LT P-600

interruption. If this is the case, pressing the Suspend/Resume button will not suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, suspend mode can only be achieved using the system software). Contact your local help desk or reseller if your system configuration is not suitable.

• If your system is equipped with a PC Card that allows you to connect to a wired or wireless network, you may be logged off the network after a period of inactivity while system operation is suspended. Contact your network administrator or local help desk for details on log-off parameters for your network.

Resuming System Operation 1

To resume system operation, (from either Suspend-to-RAM or Save-to-Disk modes), press the Suspend/Resume button.

• From Suspend-to-RAM mode Status lights indicate that the system state is changing. It may take up to a minute before the system returns to the On state and system operation resumes. Note that the display turns on shortly before the pen becomes active due to the power-up sequences observed by the system.

• From Save-to-Disk mode Active data is read from the hard disk drive, and the system returns to the On state after a short period of time.

Note that power to several system components must be restored before system operation resumes. Allow sufficient time for system operation to resume before attempting to use the system. If your system uses Save-to-Disk mode, it will take longer to resume operation as compared to using Suspend-to-RAM mode. Time is needed to read data from the hard disk drive.

• Use the system as you normally would once system operation resumes.

All programs resume at the point where execution stopped when system operation was suspended.

Using Hotpads 1

The Hotpad area consists of several pen-active “keys” on the right side of the system display that you can use to change several settings. The hotpads allow you to:

• Adjust the display and speaker settings

• Invoke right mouse button

• Invoke hovering capability

• Use as a numeric pad

• Use as a NumLock key

To use a hotpad key, tap directly on it with the pen. You can also press and hold the pen tip against the Volume and Brightness hotpad keys to automatically repeat the hotpad function. The location of each hotpad key is shown in Table 2-1, “Stylistic Hotpad Arrays,” on page 18.

Stylistic LT P-600 Pen Tablet - Chapter Two

Using the Pen 1

You can use the Stylistic LT P-600 pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navigate through programs on the pen tablet. The pen can be used like a two button mouse when used in conjunction with the right-mouse button hotpad. Programs which support handwriting recognition allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen and then translate your printed text into keyboard-style input.

CAUTIONS

• Ensure that a screen protector is installed on the pen tablet screen before you use the pen. The warranty does not cover a screen that is scratched as a result of not using a screen protector.

• Use only the pen stylus provided with your pen tablet. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the Stylistic LT P-600.

To toggle between using the pen for inking and using it as a mouse, click on the small pen icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.

Here are some hints on using the pen like a two-button mouse on a desktop system:

• To select an object, tap the mouse tip on the object once. This functions like a mouse button click

with the left mouse button.

• To “double-click” an object, tap twice on the object quickly.

• To ge n er ate a “right mouse button single-click”, tap on the hotpad icon once and then tap once

on the display. To generate a “right mouse button double click”, tap on the hotpad icon once and then double tap on the display.

• To mo ve, o r “drag”, an object on the screen, place the pen tip directly over the object, then as you

hold the pen tip against the screen, move the pen.

Calibrating the pen 1

Calibration of the pen adjusts the cursor position on the screen relative to the position of the pen tip. You calibrate the pen to adjust the distance error between where the pen actually touches the screen and where the system “thinks” the pen is touching. If the event you wish to invoke is not displayed under the pen tip when you use the pen, you should calibrate the pen.

Pen calibration may be required due to the following situations:

• The pen is being used for the first time.

• The previous user of the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet writes with the opposite hand or at a

different pen angle.

• The system has been in use for some time and the pen has not been recalibrated.

• The original system image has been restored.
