USING THE ULTRAPEN

Think of the tablet’s active area as a mapped representation of your computer screen. Wherever you place the UltraPen on the tablet’s active area, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. For example, when you position your pen tip in the upper right corner of the tablet, the cursor appears in the upper right corner of your screen. This is called “absolute positioning,” and makes tracing possible—something you cannot do with a mouse. You can place an image under the tablet overlay and trace over it with the pen to quickly and easily create graphics on-line.

There are four basic techniques for using the UltraPen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. With a bit of practice, using the pen will become second nature to you.

HOLDING THE PEN

Hold the UltraP en like y ou would a pencil. Make sure the side switch is in a conv enient location where y ou can press it with your thumb or foreﬁnger, but not accidently press it while drawing. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable for drawing.

Position for drawing

Position for erasing

When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand. Leaving the pen on the tablet may affect the screen cursor when you are working with a mouse.

POINTING

The UltraP en controls a pointer (or cursor) on your screen. Screen cursors have different shapes , such as an arrow or I-beam, depending on the type of application you are running.

Move the screen cursor by lifting the UltraPen and placing it at a new location on the tablet. The cursor instantly jumps to the new location (absolute where you must ﬁrst ﬁnd the cursor and then try to move it with a “pick-up and roll” action (relativ

To click, tap the tablet once with the tip of the UltraPen, or touch the pen to the tablet with

Double-clicking.

To double-click, quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip. This is like clicking twice with a mouse button. Be sure to hold the UltraPen so that you press downward on the pen tip.

Hint: You may ﬁnd it easier to set the side switch to double-click automatically when pressed.

You typically click to highlight or select something on the screen, and double-click to open it.

DRAGGING

Dragging means moving a selected (highlighted) object on the screen. Point to the object, then press the UltraPen to the tablet and drag the pen along the tablet’s active area. The selected object will move across the screen. To select text with this method, move the screen cursor to the beginning of some text then press and drag the UltraPen across the tablet until the text is highlighted.
