Your tablet includes the NVIDIA DirectStylus™. This stylus enables precise control
of handwriting, drawing, and touchscreen games that require pinpoint accuracy.
The stylus has a chisel tip, similar to the tip of a highlighter pen. For fine lines, touch
with the pointed tip. For thick lines, touch with the full width of the chisel.
NOTE Some apps do not support variable line thickness. In those apps, the stylus
produces the same line thickness, regardless of which part of the tip you use.
When the tablet is in stylus-only mode, the touchscreen only responds to input from
the stylus. Touches from your finger or palm are ignored.

NOTE Your NVIDIA device automatically disables stylus-only mode when you

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 good palm rejection technology. With palm rejection, 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.

right-handed mode, tap again to clear the check box.
