Using the Stylistic 3500 Pen Tablet

This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and
system functions of the Stylistic 3500 pen tablet. You should familiarize yourself with
this information before you attempt to operate the system.

System States

Before you begin using the Stylistic 3500 pen tablet, review the different system states
(or modes) that the pen tablet can use. Being familiar with these system states will
help you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, resume, suspend, or shut
down the system when you begin a new session or end your current session. System
behavior for each system state is described briefly in the following, with each system
state listed in decreasing order of power usage:
• On state
The system is running and the display screen is on.
• Idle state
Some system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display
screen may be turned off. The system returns to the On state when stylus activity
or other input is detected.
• Suspend-to-RAM mode
System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve
power. Power to memory is on, maintaining data in programs that were running
before system operation was suspended. The system does not respond to the
stylus or other input when in Suspend-to-RAM mode. Refer to the "Resuming
System Operation" section later in this chapter for information on returning the
system to the On state.
• Save-to-Disk mode
System operation is suspended. All system functions are turned off to conserve
power. Active data in programs that were running before suspending system
operation is stored on the hard disk drive. The system does not respond to the
stylus or other input. Refer to the "Resuming System Operation" section later in
this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.
