Using the Stylus

Your HP iPAQ comes with a stylus that you should use to tap or

write on your screen.

Ä^{CAUTION: To prevent damage to your HP iPAQ screen, never use any}

device other than the stylus that comes with it or an approved

replacement to tap or write on the screen. If you lose or break your

stylus, you can order extras at ww w .hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories .

You can perform three basic actions using the stylus:

Tap—Lightly touch the screen to select or open an item. Lift the

stylus after you tap an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an

item with the mouse on your computer.

Drag—Place the point of the stylus on the screen and drag an

item across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have

completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to dragging with

the left mouse button pressed on your computer.

Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short

time until a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to

right-clicking your computer mouse button. When you tap and

hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that

the menu will soon pop up.

Setting the Date and Time

When you turn on your HP iPAQ for the first time, you are

requested to select your time zone. After setting the time zone,

you still need to set the time and date on your unit. All three

settings are located in the Clock Settings screen and can be set at

the same time.

Note: By default, the time on the HP iPAQ is synchronized with

your computer each time the two devices connect using

ActiveSync.

Using Digital Imaging Features

Choosing the Resolution

You can choose from four resolutions (or sizes) for photos

captured (width by height in pixels) on your HP iPAQ. By using

one of the four resolutions, you can choose the photo quality for

your snapshots. Higher-quality (high resolution) photos look and

print better, especially at greater magnification. However,

higher-quality photos are larger in file size and require more

storage space. Lower-quality photos require less storage space

and less time to load when sending them by e-mail or infrared.

The Photosmart camera displays on the top right side of the

screen the estimated number of images remaining at the current

resolution and compression settings. For an example, refer to the

“Using Compression” section discussed earlier in this chapter.

The four resolutions available are:

■

1280x960 (default)

640x480 pixels

320x240 pixels

160x120 pixels

Changing AE Metering

AE Metering settings allow you to specify which area of the

photo the camera will use to calculate the exposure.

To change the AE Metering types:

1. From the Start menu, tap Programs > HP Photosmart or

from the Launch page, tap Photosmart camera.

2. Tap

> Settings tab > AE Metering > Change button.

3. Select the exposure type you want and tap OK.

Description

Average

The camera uses the entire photo area to

calculate the exposure. Use this setting

when you want everything in the photo to

be used equally to calculate the exposure,

for example, when you are taking pictures

of a mountain scene.

Center-weighted

(default setting)

The camera uses a large area in the center

of the photo area to calculate the exposure.

Use this setting when the subject is in the

center of the frame, so exposure is based

more on the subject than the surroundings.

Turning Camera Sounds On/Off

With the camera sounds setting, you can turn on or off all camera

sounds made by your HP iPAQ.

To change the camera sounds setting:

Changing Video Settings

You can record video with audio using your HP iPAQ’s built-in

camera. You can record in either MotionJPEG format or H.263

format (available only on the rx3700 series). With MJPEG, a

more memory space per minute of video. With the H.263 format,

lower resolutions must be used but longer video clips can be

stored in less memory space.

Note: MotionJPEG video can only be saved to main memory or

iPAQ File Store. You cannot record MotionJPEG video directly to

an SD/MMC card. H.263 video can be saved to main memory,

iPAQ File Store, or to an SD/MMC card. To check the amount of

memory in any of these locations, refer to the topic “How Do I

Manage Available Storage?” in the How Do I Guide...? on your

HP iPAQ.

How To Connect To The Printer

Before selecting the printer, HP Mobile Print needs to know how

it will be connecting to that printer. HP Mobile Print currently

supports Infrared (IR), Bluetooth, Network-based, and

Service-based connections. While the printer may have multiple

ways to connect, only one connection method can be set up at a

time. For example, the HP DeskJet 995c supports both IR and

Bluetooth connections, thus both IR and Bluetooth are valid

selections for connecting to this printer. The user can set up a

connection to print via Bluetooth right now and later set up an IR

connection to the same printer.

Selecting a connection method depends on what connections your

printer supports. To determine if a printer has IR or Bluetooth

capabilities, look for the IR port and Bluetooth radio located on

the outside of the printer. If neither of these are visible, then you

might try connecting to the printer via a network or through a

print service.

The Content Transformation Preferences screen is split into two

from print enabled applications. The bottom list represents the

modules that can transform the content of the selected file type

into something printable. If a print enabled application does not

distinguish which module it uses to print a given file type, the one

highlighted in the bottom list will be used to transform the

content of that file so that it can be printed. Select which module

will be used for a given file type by choosing a file type from the

upper list and then choosing a module from the lower list.

For instance, a bmp file (bitmap) can be printed through a CT

module provided by HP or WestTek. If the application has no

preference, it will print bmp files through the WestTek module

since that is the one currently selected.
