For your best experience using The Slate:
Installing and calibrating The Ring:
✅ Slide The Ring onto your drawing implement about 3 or 4 cm from the tip.
✅ Adjust its positioning so that The Ring is completely perpendicular to your drawing implement.
✅ Calibrate The Ring each time you change implements:
Press and hold one of the two buttons of The Slate: the front LED turns pink.
Place your drawing tool on the active area of The Slate and release the button once the tip touches The Slate.
👉 Top tips:
Be sure to use only one drawing tool at a time to avoid disrupting The Slate's operation.
You can check at any time if the functionality is being impaired by using Repaper Studio's performance indicator.
✅ To check if The Ring is properly positioned and calibrated, we recommend the following steps:
Once you have positioned a sheet of drawing paper on The Slate as explained above, place The Ring on your drawing implement and calibrate it.
Open Repaper Studio and select the Repaper & Screen mode.
With The Ring on your drawing implement, place the latter perpendicular to The Slate, with the tip in contact with the sheet of paper.
Turn your drawing implement right round. As you are doing this, be sure to keep the drawing implement perpendicular to the sheet of paper and in contact with it at a single point (no lines).
If you see a point appear on the screen, The Ring is properly positioned and calibrated. If you see a small circle appear, The Ring is incorrectly positioned: adjust it and repeat the process until you get a point.
