Changing Display Orientation. An interesting and useful feature of the
Tablet PC is the ability to change the screen orientation from landscape to
portrait by pressing a button. Also, you can rotate the screen in 90-degree
increments. The Tablet PC flexibility in changing the screen orientation
allows you to set the view to suit your purpose. You may be using an
application where it is more advantageous to have a portrait (vertical) view
of the screen. You may be filling out a form that is longer than the standard
screen view. At other times you may want to view a wider than normal page;
in this instance you would use landscape view. The Tablet PC provides
several ways to change the display orientation quickly:
The quickest way to rotate the screen is to press the Rotate button. Be
aware that changing the screen orientation may require you to recalibrate
the pen; refer to “Calibrating and Using Your Digital Pen” on page 22. Use
the pull-down menu to see the other orientation settings. You can also
change the sequence for rotating from one orientation to another.
Mirroring or Extending Your Display. The Tablet PC has a Dual Head
Video Controller that lets you run a presentation from your Tablet PC on an
external monitor or data projector while taking notes in ink. You can also
move applications onto a second monitor to create additional work space.
How To Connect the Tablet PC and a Monitor or Projector Example.
1. Plug the VGA monitor cable into the VGA port on the Tablet PC or
Motion FlexDock for the LE Series.
2. Connect the external monitor or data projector to a power outlet and
turn it on. The software recognizes the external monitor or data pro-
jector and searches for a driver.
3. If necessary, install the driver from the CD supplied by the monitor’s
manufacturer.
4. Set up the mirrored desktop or external display, using the steps in
the following sections.
