I've never seen the jaggies on any machine other than a Newton
2000 or 2100. For a start, you should realign the pen. If you
have a misalignment afterwards, repeat the procedure, but tap with
a slight misalignment towards the same side. For example, if
the taps appear above the actual pen position, tap slightly above
the X when aligning.

If this doesn't fix things, you might want to take the Newton
apart and clean the area of the display below the edges of the
bezel.

Of course, trying a hard reset first wouldn't hurt.
