Internal only Internal and External Extended Desktop Q Menu Button Press the Q menu button manually when Windows is running to open or close the Q Menu. The Q Menu provides quick access to programmable tasks and destinations including:
System controls, such as volume and screen brightness. Key simulations such as Capture Screen, which functions like the print screen key on a standard keyboard. Applications, files, or folders on a drive, a network, or the Internet. To select an item from the Q Menu without using the pen or a keyboard, press the Q menu button to display the Q Menu, rotate the jog dial upward or downward until your selection is highlighted, then press the jog dial inward. For more information about using the Q Menu, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, Q Menu and Desktop Video Profiles chapter. 210 Hardware Guide 331734-001.book Page 11 Monday, July 14, 2003 3:47 PM Pen, Command Controls and Keyboards Tab Button Press the tab button manually to enter the tab command as you would by pressing the tab key on a standard keyboard. The tab button can be used with or without the on-screen keyboard or an optional keyboard. The function of the tab command varies by application. For example, in Microsoft Word the tab command indents and in Microsoft Excel the tab command moves the pointer to an adjoining cell. The tab button can be combined with keystrokes on the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard. For example, press the alt key on either keyboard, then the tab button, to display and select from among all open applications. Windows Security Button Press the Windows Security button with the pen tip or a small object like the end of a paper clip to enter the ctrl+alt+delete command while you are in Windows or the reset command while you are in the Setup utility. The ctrl+alt+delete command cannot be entered using the Ctrl, Alt, and Del keys on the on-screen keyboard. Ctrl+Alt+Delete Command When the tablet PC is in Windows, the Windows Security button clears your work from the screen and displays the Windows Security window in which you can lock, log off, or shut down the tablet PC, initiate Standby or Hibernation, or open Task Manager. The Shut Down option in the ctrl+alt+delete window enables you to safely shut down the tablet PC if the system has become unresponsive. Task Manager displays the status of all open applications and enables you to close an application that has become unresponsive. Hardware Guide 211 331734-001.book Page 12 Monday, July 14, 2003 3:47 PM Pen, Command Controls and Keyboards If the system remains unresponsive after selecting Shut Down in the Windows Security window, slide and hold the power switch for 4 seconds. For additional shut down procedures, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, Power chapter. For information about using the ctrl+alt+delete command in non-Windows applications, refer to the application documentation. Reset Command When the Setup utility is open, the Windows Security button simulates the reset button found on some computers. When the tablet PC is reset, the tablet PC restarts and all unsaved information is lost. The reset function can be used to restore functionality when the system has become unresponsive. For information about the Setup utility, which is a non-Windows utility, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, Setup and Support Utilities chapter. Esc Button Press the esc button manually to open the Setup utility or to use the esc button like the esc key on a standard keyboard. Setup Utility Function While the tablet PC is starting up, the HP logo is displayed and the cursor flashes in the upper right hand corner of the screen. During this time, press the esc button to open the Setup utility. For information about the Setup utility, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, Setup and Support Utilities chapter. Esc Key Function When the tablet PC is on, press the esc button to enter the esc command as you would by pressing the esc key on a standard keyboard. The esc button can be used with or without the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard. 212 Hardware Guide 331734-001.book Page 13 Monday, July 14, 2003 3:47 PM Pen, Command Controls and Keyboards The function of the esc command varies among applications. Esc is usually used to exit a mode or routine or to cancel a function. The esc button can be combined with keystrokes on the on-screen keyboard or an external keyboard. For example, press the ctrl key on either keyboard, then the esc button, to display the Windows Start menu. Jog Dial Press or rotate the jog dial manually to enter commands or scroll vertically:
Press inward to simulate the function of the enter key on a standard keyboard. Rotate upward or downward to scroll toward the top or bottom of an image. At the default setting, the jog dial scrolls line by line like the up and down arrow keys on a standard keyboard. The jog dial can be set to scroll page by page like the page up and page down keys on a standard keyboard or three lines at a time like a mouse wheel. Other settings, in addition to scroll functions, are also available. For instructions, see Setting Command Control Preferences, next in this chapter. Hardware Guide 213 331734-001.book Page 14 Monday, July 14, 2003 3:47 PM Pen, Command Controls and Keyboards Setting Command Control Preferences All command controls except the Display Toggle button and the enter function of the jog dial can be customized to launch applications, simulate key combinations, or perform preset system functions. Each programmable command control can be assigned to 4 settings. Each setting applies only to 1 of 4 views:
Portrait-Primary Portrait-Secondary Landscape-Primary Landscape-Secondary Command control preferences are set in the Tablet and Pen Settings window. You must select a view before setting a preference. Each view is illustrated in the Button Location pane of the Tablet and Pen Settings window as you select it. If you are unfamiliar with the four views, you may want to read Selecting a View next in this section, before setting a command control preference. Selecting a View In the Portrait-Primary and Portrait-Secondary views, the image is displayed vertically, in portrait orientation. In the Landscape-
Primary and Landscape-Secondary views, the image is displayed horizontally, in landscape orientation. A portrait view is often optimal when you are using the tablet PC as a handheld. A landscape view is often optimal when you are displaying the image on an optional external monitor or projector. 214 Hardware Guide 331734-001.book Page 15 Monday, July 14, 2003 3:47 PM Pen, Command Controls and Keyboards In the primary views (Portrait-Primary and Landscape-Primary), the image switches clockwise between vertical and horizontal. In the secondary views (Portrait-Secondary and Landscape-
Secondary), the image switches counterclockwise between vertical and horizontal. Left-handed users may find the secondary views more convenient. HP recommends that you not use a secondary view while using the internal wireless. The positions commonly occupied by the tablet PC, external devices, and users while the tablet PC is in a secondary view may obstruct the antennas. When you are facing the tablet PC screen with the tablet PC in portrait orientation, the antennas, not visible from the outside of the tablet PC, are on the right and left sides of the tablet PC, near the upper corners. To switch the system among the Portrait-Primary, Landscape-
Primary, Portrait-Secondary, and Landscape-Secondary views:
1. Press the Q menu button. 2. Select a view from the Q Menu. (The system switches to the view you select.) For more information about using the Q Menu, including instructions for adding or removing items from the Q Menu, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, Q Menu and Desktop Video Profiles chapter.
