SPT 1500 Product Reference Guide
Note: There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these
letters, choose the one that’s easiest for you.
As you’ll see later, you use these shapes to create both upper- and lowercase letters.
1. Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.
2. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the
table.
Note: Don’t try to draw the dot shape itself. The heavy dot is there to show the
starting point of the stroke.
3. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
That’s all there is to it! When you lift the stylus from the screen, your SPT 1500 terminal
recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character
you want to write.
Caution
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do
not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your SPT 1500 termi-
nal does not recognize them as text characters.
