Chapter 2 Using your C5t/F5t Using touch 22
Customizing touch input mode
You can determine how touch input is configured by setting the input mode. You can use:
• 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.
