Getting set up

This documentation is based around using the Apple Ink method of using the graphics tablet.

First step: Make sure handwriting is turned on in system preferences.

We recommend showing Ink in the menu bar, and showing the ink window. We will assume in the rest of these instructions that you have at least the ink icon in the menu bar and handwriting recognition turned on, and that you have not reprogrammed the meaning of the buttons on the stylus.

There are two "modes" of using the tablet, with "Write anywhere" turned on (this is the same as the checkbox in the System Preferences labeled "Allow me to Ink in any application"), and with it turned off.

For the sake of simplicity of this document, we will refer to the state where "Write Anywhere" is turned on (or "Allow me to Ink in any application" is checked in System preferences) as "Write Anywhere Mode", and the mode where "Write Anywhere" is turned off as  "Standard Mode".

To switch between Write Anywhere Mode and Standard Mode, you can:

1.	Change the setting in the ink menu , or

2.	Click on the or icon in the Ink Window, or
