• Your finger only; no pen input is detected.

• The pen only; no finger input is detected.

• Both your finger and a pen.

• Switch between touch and pen input, in which case you double-tap to switch to touch

input. This is useful to avoid the tablet from responding to unintentional touch input.

To configure touch settings

1. Open Motion Dashboard.

2. Tap Pen & Tablet.

3. Tap Touch Settings.

4. From the Digitizer Options tab, under Input Mode tap the desired mode.
