In addition to emulating mouse clicks, the pen can be used for the following tasks:

To display the pointer location, hold the pen tip immediately over any location on the tablet PC
screen without touching the screen with the pen tip.

To display the menu options related to an item on the screen, tap the screen with the pen tip.

To erase with the pen, hold the pen with the eraser side down and move the eraser over the

Pressure sensitivity

This feature is available only if the Tablet PC Input Panel software is enabled.
