Tip:
To see the screen cursor slightly offset from the actual position of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on
a spot showing that offset from the crosshairs. For example, to have the screen cursor appear 2.5
mm (1/10th of an inch) above and to the left of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot 2.5 mm (1/
10th of an inch) below and to the right of the crosshairs.
