SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA

Organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position your Intuos 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 Intuos tools.

• Alternate tasks 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

Intuos 6x8 and 9x12 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 Intuos tablets have a menu strip with programmable buttons that allo w you to quickly perform common tasks. F or 4x5 tab lets, the menu strip is printed on the ov erlay sheet. For 6x8 and larger tablets, the menu strip is removable, and can be written on with a pencil. The number of available buttons depends on your tablet model.

To use the menu strip, click on a button with your Intuos 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 button number. This enables you to select menu buttons with the 4D Mouse.

• Changes to mapping and pressure options apply only to the tool used to select the respective tablet button.
