Sample Report Descriptors (pen-sample-report-descriptors)

This topic presents a sample report descriptor and some sample descriptor excerpts for a Windows pen device.

Note

Although vendor specific usages may be used at any level of the report, they must be used in a way that could be implemented equally across all reporting methods, namely ,serial, parallel, and hybrid. Not adhering to this guidance may not result in an HLK failure but could result in serious compatibility issues.
