Using Your Stylistic LT P-600
This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and system functions
of the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet. You should familiarize yourself with this information before you
attempt to operate the system.

System States

Before you begin using the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet, review the different system states (or
modes) that the pen tablet can use. Being familiar with these system states will help you to 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 pen 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 pen 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 pen or other input. Refer to the "Resuming System
Operation" section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.
• Off state
All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not respond to the pen or
other input. The system boots at the next system power-on.
Note: The system consumes the same amount of power whether it is in Save-to-Disk mode or the Off
state.
Your system may be configured to enter some of these states automatically after a period of inactivity
to conserve battery power.
When you use the Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet, you can change the current system state in a number
of ways, depending on which state the system is in. To determine the current system state, observe
the Power icon in the Status display. Table 2-1, "Changing System States," on page 14 gives the
different system states represented by the Power icon and describes how you can change the system
state from the current state.
