INTUOS2 TOOLS
A variety of Intuos2 tools are available for your tablet. All Intuos2 tools are cordless, batteryless, and
ergonomically designed. Each tool also has a Tool ID, enabling you to work with multiple tools on the
same tablet and to customize each tool differently.
Note:
The tool(s) included with your tablet will vary depending on which tablet model and configuration
you purchased.
The Intuos2 Grip Pen and Airbrush are pressure-sensitive freehand tools for image editing and creating

Do you prefer to use a mouse for general navigation, pointing, and clicking? Just set aside your Intuos2
Pen and place the Intuos2 Mouse on the tablet. There is no need to go back to your old mouse, because
your Intuos2 Mouse is an ideal tool for performing any task you may ha v e done previously with a standard
mouse. If you have an Intuos2 4D Mouse, it can also be used for 3D navigation with four degrees of
control: x and y position, fingerwheel position, and positional rotation.

SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
Organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position your Intuos2 tablet, input tools, and
keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. Your monitor should be positioned
so you can view it comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.
To minimize fatigue:
• Take short breaks between tasks to stretch
and relax your muscles.
• Use a gentle grip when working with your
Intuos2 tools.
• Alternate tasks and tools throughout the
day.
• Minimize awkward postures and repetitive
movements that cause discomfort.
For some tablet models, you can adjust the tablet incline and attach the pen stand to better fit your work
style. Refer to Adjusting
Tablet Incline and Adjusting the Pen Stand for additional information.

ADJUSTING TABLET INCLINE
Intuos2 6x8/A5 and 9x12/A4-regular tablets come with a rubber bar that can be used to raise the tablet’s
incline angle. If you frequently use the tablet on your lap, you may not want to apply the incline bar.
For desktop use, you may find an inclined tablet position more comfortable.
To attach the incline bar:
1. First turn the tablet upside down and locate the incline bar recess.
2. Remove the paper backing from the incline bar to expose the adhesive. Carefully press the bar’s
adhesive side onto the tablet recess area.
3. Return the tablet to its face up position.
The recess is designed for use in landscape orientation.

USING THE TABLET MENU STRIP
All Intuos2 tablets have a menu strip with programmable buttons that allow you to quickly perform
common tasks. For 4x5/A6 tablets, the menu strip is printed on the overlay sheet. For 6x8/A5 and larger
tablets, the menu strip is removable, and can be written on with a pencil. The n umber of a vailable buttons
depends on your tablet model. To use the menu strip , clic k on a button with your Intuos2 tool; the function
assigned to that button will occur.
To remove the menu strip, carefully lift the overlay sheet from the left side and gently slide the
menu strip out. You can use the adhesive side of a sticky notepad sheet to “grab” the menu strip.
When removing and replacing the menu strip, take care not to bend or tear your tablet overlay.
Notes:
• When pointing to a button, the screen cursor changes to display the b utton n umber. Tablet buttons that have
been set to IGNORED will not display the button number.
• Changes to mapping and pressure options apply only to the tool used to select the respective tablet button.

USING THE PEN
Intuos2 Pens are cordless, batteryless, and pressure sensitive. There are four basic techniques for using
the Intuos2 Pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. With a bit of practice, using the pen will
become second nature to you. If you are unfamiliar with using a pen, try the exercises on the following
pages.
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the Intuos2 Pen like you would a normal pen. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient location
where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press the switch while drawing.
You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable for drawing.
Important:
Position for drawing
When the pen is not in use, place it in the Intuos2 pen stand or lay it flat on your desk.
Position for erasing
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its
tip.
Leaving an Intuos2 tool on the tablet ma y interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other
pointing devices.
Contents
Index
USING INTUOS2
Page 25
POINTING
The Intuos2 Pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursor two
different ways, like a pen (Pen Mode) or like a mouse (Mouse Mode).
• In Pen Mode, the tablet’s active area is like a mapped representation of your computer screen where
every point on the tablet’s active area corresponds to e xactly one point on the displa y screen; where v er
you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen.
This is the default setting for the Intuos2 Pen and Airbrush, and makes tracing possible—something
you cannot do with a mouse.
• In Mouse Mode, you move the cursor with a “pick up and roll” action similar to using a mouse. This is
the default setting for the 2D Mouse, 4D Mouse, and Lens Cursor.
Try moving the screen cursor by lifting the Intuos2 Pen and placing it in a new location on the tablet.
The cursor instantly jumps to the new location.
As the pen enters Proximity, the tablet senses
the pen above the tablet surface. You do not
need to touch the tablet with the pen tip in
order to move the screen cursor.
Learning Hint: If you are used to
working with a mouse and find that
using a pen is somewhat difficult, try
the Eye-Hand Coordination Exercise.
Pointing Hint: Pointing is easier when
you orient the tablet so the screen cursor
follows the same direction as your hand
movements on the tablet.

enough force to register a click. (With the pen tip, there is no audible “click” sound.)
Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip.
The icon should highlight when you press.
To click, tap the tablet once with the tip of the Intuos2 Pen, or press the pen tip on 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. You can also double-click by pressing the upper side switch—this
is the preferred method of double-clicking with a pen.
Try both ways of double-clicking on a folder icon to open it. First use your pen tip to do this, then use the
upper side switch.

DRAGGING
Dragging is used to select and move objects on the screen. To drag, first point to an object. Then press
the Intuos2 Pen to the tablet and slide it across the tablet. The selected object will move across the
screen. To select text, move the screen cursor to the beginning of a text line, then drag the Intuos2 Pen
across the tablet until the text is highlighted.
First, try moving an icon on the screen. Then, within a document, select some text by pressing and
dragging the pen tip across the text.

PROXIMITY
The pen is activated as soon as it enters proximity, about 6 mm (0.24 inch), above the tablet’s active area.
This allows you to position the screen cursor or use the side switch without touching the pen tip to the
tablet. You can also trace a drawing or photograph as long as the pen tip remains within proximity height.
Place a picture under the tablet overlay and try tracing it from within one of your graphics applications.
