5Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the 
stroke shape.
When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIÉ 
handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the 
character at the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin 
another stroke for the next character you want to write.
Note
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If 
you do not draw Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your 
CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as characters.
Notes on entering Graffiti® writing
 Recognition accuracy improves when you draw your strokes 
that nearly fill in the Graffiti writing area.
 Draw your strokes at natural speed. Drawing too slowly may  generate recognition errors.
 Do not draw your strokes on a slant. Vertical strokes should be  parallel to the vertical lines of the Graffiti writing area.
