INTRODUCTION

1.3 Quick-Start Tutorial

Note: Some series of graphics tablets have no pen slot and do not

support touch keys and strip. For example as follow:

2

INTRODUCTION

Holding the pen

Hold the pen as usual.

z The pen will take effect when it comes within 7mm above the

tablet.

z

While using the pen, be sure that your thumb or index finger can
easily control the button on the pen, which acts as the right-click
key of a mouse.

Positioning

Moving the pen in the active area of the tablet will control the cursor’s
position on the computer screen.

3

INTRODUCTION

The pen and tablet use the Absolute Coordination method. This
means the active area of the tablet represents the entire computer
screen. Moving the pen on the tablet creates a corresponding
movement of the cursor on the screen.

Single Click

One slight touch of the pen on the tablet has the same effect as a
single left-click of the mouse.

Double Click

Two immediate clicks on the tablet have the same effect as a double
left-click of the mouse.

4

INTRODUCTION

Double Click Technique

When the cursor is positioned, press the tablet twice immediately with
the pen tip, making sure that you do not move the pen tip. The
response for the double click can be slow for beginners. You can
solve this problem by adjusting the double click speed from the
normal setting of the tablet.

Dragging

Select a target by pressing the pen down on it, and do not release the
pen till you have moved the target to the new position you want.

5

INTRODUCTION

Pressure Sensitive Painting

In applicable software, you can use the pressure sensitivity of the pen
to control the painting brushwork for different effects such as direction,
stroke width, color and thickness.

The software that supports pressure sensitivity includes Adobe
Photoshop, Painter, Flash, Ulead PhotoImpact, Art Dabbler etc.

Touch key and Touch Strip

Touch keys are programmable for modifier keys, keyboard shortcuts,
mouse clicks, open/run applications, and pop-up menus. The default
is Rubber, Alt, Shift and Space.
The touch strip is used for quick scrolling, zooming, controlling brush
size, and other functionality by user configuration.
