INTRODUCTION
Thank you
very
much
for
having
purchased
this
PX-
TB7
tablet
manufactured by
PIONEER.
The PX-TB7
tablet
has
been
developed by
PIONEER
using the
latest
advances
In
technology
as a simple
Irv
put device
for
PIONEER'S
personal
computer
Ithe
PX-71
and
for
MSX
personal
computers
In
general.
It
features
superb
operational
ease as
a digitizer
and
handwritten
Input device.
Before proceeding
to
operate your
tablet,
take the
lime
to read
through
all
the
instructions
in
tNs
manual.
This
will
enable
you
to
use the functions
of
your
tablet
to
maximum
effect.
Place these
instructions
in
a safe place

Should you need
to
consult
them, you

APPLICATIONS
What
the tablet
can do
for
you
This
tablet
is
a simple input
device.
By means
of
a
per-
sonal
computer,
it
allows
you
to print
out using a
printer,
or display
using
a
monitor
or
TV
screen,
characters,
letters
and
pictures exactly
as they
were
written or
drawn by hand on
the
tablet,
without
com-
plicated
operations
and
procedures.
Drawing
graphics
and
patterns using a
keyboard
demands
a
great deal of
both time and
effort
since the coordinates of the
pic-
ture
elements
making up
the graphics
or
patterns
must
be
calculated or
measured.
The
tablet,
on
the
other
hand,
frees
you from
this
tedium:
all
you have
to
do
to
draw
a
picture
or pattern
is
input
a simple
program.
The PX-TB7
has
been designed
to display top-
notch
operational ease,
and
it
has the following
features.
•
AS
size plain
paper can be
used,
AS
size
paper
(146 x
210
mml.
which
is
easily
ob-
tainaUe
at a
stationery
store,
can be used
as
it
is.
If
it
is
not easy
to
obtain
AS
size
paper, simply cut
A4
size
paper
in
half.
Each
half
will
then
have
dimensions
identical
to
those of
AS
size
paper.
•
A
clamp
is
provided
to
secure the paper.
The
paper can be
held
firmly
with the
clamp
provid-
ed.
There
is
less
chance
that
the
paper
will
move
while
a
picture or pattern
is
being
drawn.
•
The
"touch pen" has
a
switch function.
The
pen
is
provided with a switch
which
functions
in
exactly the
same way
as the switch
on
the
tablet
Itself.
This
means
that,
while
moving
the pen,
you
can
easily
operate the switch with
the
same
hand.
This
also
comes
in
handy
when
using the overlay
sheet with
the
accessory
ROM
cartridge.
