Pen
Cordless, battery-free, and pressure sensitive. Use this freehand tool for image editing and creating natural-looking pen strokes. It is also an efficient tool for document annotation and taking notes in applications that support handwriting recognition.
You will find the pen ideally suited to enhance your workflow by enabling the pen and digital ink features found within Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, and Office 2007 or later. Take advantage of digital mark-up for collaborative editing and use digital ink to take notes in applications that support handwriting recognition.
Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen holder or lay it flat on your desk. When equipped, the eraser end of the pen should be inserted first into the loop. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser.
Leaving the pen on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer from going to sleep.
• Insert the eraser end of the pen into the loop.
• Do not wedge the pen buttons inside the loop. Doing so may cause the buttons to be continually depressed and possibly fail.
Important: You can also lay the pen flat on your desk. Leaving the pen on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer from going to sleep.
Do not store the pen in a holder or stand other than the one provided with your tablet or purchased from Wacom. The pen may be damaged if it falls out of an unsuitable stand. The sensitivity of your pen may be affected if stored in a container where it rests on the tip or eraser.

• Maintain a good posture at all times.
• Use a gentle grip when working with the pen.
• Periodically shift your gaze from your computer and focus on other objects in the room. This will help to relax your eyes.
• Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles.
• Alternate tasks and tools throughout the day. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that cause discomfort.
• Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
• If you are using the tablet as a primary pointing device and mouse replacement, try placing it to the side of the keyboard nearest to your dominant hand (for example, to the right of the keyboard if you are right-handed).
• If you are using the tablet primarily as a creative tool, try placing the tablet below the keyboard, centered with respect to your monitor.

SETTING UP YOUR TABLET
To minimize fatigue, comfortably organize your work area. Position your tablet, pen, and keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. Adjust your monitor so you can view it comfortably with minimum eyestrain. For best results, position the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.

Note: This procedure does not affect the default orientation. At the system log on and user switching
screens, the tablet uses the default orientation you chose during the install process. To change the default orientation, you must re-install the tablet driver.

WORKING WITH MULTIPLE MONITORS
If your computer is equipped with more than one monitor, the tablet will map to your monitors based upon how they are configured in the display properties control panel.
• If more than one monitor is in use and you are in extended monitor mode, the tablet maps to all monitors as if they were one large display.
• If your monitors are in mirror mode (both monitors display the same content), the tablet maps to the entire space on each monitor and the screen cursor is displayed on each monitor simultaneously.
See your hardware and operating system documentation for details on configuring your computer and operating system for use with multiple monitors.
You can customize the tablet to map to a single monitor, or to a portion of the monitor area. See setting the
tablet mapping.
CONTROL PANEL BASICS
After mastering the basics of using your tablet, you may want to customize the way your pen input works. The tablet control panel is where you customize your tablet settings.

THE PEN EXPERIENCE WITH THE TABLET
Your tablet is designed to enhance the way you work. Tablet models equipped for pen input enable you to interact with a computer using the pen on the active area of the tablet.
Using the pen on the tablet Customizing pen input Working with Display Toggle
Hold the pen like you would hold a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the pen buttons are in a convenient location where you can toggle them with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidentally press them while drawing or positioning with the pen. Tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen holder or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser. Leaving the pen on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer from going to sleep.
USING THE PEN ON THE TABLET
There are four basic techniques for using the pen: positioning, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. If you are unfamiliar with using the pen, try the exercises on the following pages.
Positioning Clicking Dragging Using the pen buttons Writing and drawing with pressure sensitivity Erasing Eye-hand coordination exercise
11
Contents
Lift the pen and place the pen tip on the tablet active area. The cursor jumps to the new location.
Move the screen cursor by hovering the pen over the tablet surface. Do this without
touching the tablet surface, but while still keeping the pen tip within proximity of the tablet.
To select an icon or folder, use your pen to position the screen cursor over the object. Press down to select.
Tips
:
If you find using a pen to be somewhat difficult, try the eye-hand coordination
exercise.
Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet square to the computer monitor so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
7 mm (0.28 inch) proximity
16 mm (0.63 inch) proximity range
When positioning the screen cursor and operating a pen button, the pen tip needs to be within 7 mm (0.28 inch) of the tablet surface. The pen tip does not need to touch the tablet in order to move the screen cursor or use a pen button.
Index
POSITIONING
Use the pen to position the pointer (or cursor) on your screen.
12
You can set the pen to position the screen cursor two different ways (see setting the tablet mapping
• In pen mode
, wherever you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to a corresponding point on the display screen. The screen pointer indicates pen position, and follows the movement of the pen across the tablet surface. This is the default setting for the pen.
• In mouse mode, move the cursor with a “pick up and slide” motion similar to using a mouse.
).

Tip: Configure Windows to select when hovering the pen over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click.
To turn on this feature, first open a folder. Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista
: From the ORGANIZE pull-down menu choose FOLDER AND SEARCH
O
PTIONS.... From the GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM (POINT TO SELECT).
Windows XP
: From the TOOLS pull-down menu choose FOLDER OPTIONS.... From the GENERAL tab select
S
INGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM (POINT TO SELECT).
Clicking
. Tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to register a click. Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip. The folder should highlight when you press.
If C
LICK SOUND is selected in the tablet control panel and
your computer speakers are on, then you will hear a “click” sound when the pen tip is pressed hard enough to generate a button click. Adjust your speaker volume as necessary.
Double-clicking
. Quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip. This is like clicking twice with a mouse button. Try double-clicking on a folder icon to open it.
Tip:
Set a pen button to DOUBLE CLICK. This is
easier than tapping twice with the pen tip, and is the preferred method of double­clicking with a pen.
First point to an object. Then press the pen tip to the tablet and slide it across the tablet surface. The selected object will move across the display screen.
To select text within a document, move the screen cursor to the beginning of a text line. Then drag the pen across the tablet to highlight the text.

Contents
The default button positions are:
Tip
: Set a pen button to DOUBLE CLICK. This is easier than tapping
twice with the pen tip.
Upper: R
IGHT CLICK
Lower: PAN/SCROLL
PAN/SCROLL lets you position a document or image in any direction within the active window simply by pressing the pen button and moving the pen tip across the tablet. As you move the pen tip, the document or image is repositioned to follow the direction of pen movement on the tablet. Release the pen button or lift the pen tip from the tablet surface when done.
In some application windows the document will precisely follow the screen cursor as you move the pen tip. In others it will simply move in the same general direction as the screen cursor.
Use R
IGHT CLICK to bring up application-specific
or icon-specific menus.

USING THE PEN BUTTONS
The pen comes equipped with two buttons. Each button has a programmable function that is selected when you press the button. You can use a pen button whenever the pen tip is within 7 mm (0.28 inch) of the tablet active area. You do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use a button.
To assign new button functions, see setting the pen button functions
.
14
Contents
To write, ink, or draw with pressure sensitivity, move the pen along the surface of the tablet while applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of the pen.
• Press hard for thick lines or dense
color.
• Press gently for thin lines or softer
color.
Note that some applications require you first select a pressure-sensitive tool from the application tool palette.
To adjust the tip feel, see setting the tip
and eraser feel, and double-click distance.
Visit the Wacom website to learn about applications that support pressure. See product information
.

15
WRITING AND DRAWING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
The pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes within applications that support this feature. The digital ink and Office 2007 or later, as well as the drawing tools in many graphics applications, respond to the pressure you place on the pen. For example, sliders are used in some applications to vary line characteristics such as width, color, and opacity. These characteristics can be controlled much better by the pen’s pressure sensitivity. You can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with the pressure you exert upon the pen.
tools in Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista,
15
Contents
Use the pen eraser in Windows 8, Windows 7, and Vista to erase notes or sketches made with Pen and
digital ink capabilities in Windows, and to select and
delete text or spreadsheet cells within an application. In supporting text applications use the eraser to select text, then lift the eraser from the tablet to delete the text.
You can erase intuitively and naturally in graphics applications that support the pen eraser. When you use the pen eraser, the application will automatically switch to the eraser tool.
In applications that support pressure sensitivity, you can select pressure-sensitive tools in the application tool palette to vary the width and depth of your erasures as you change the amount of pressure exerted upon the pen.
See setting the tip and eraser feel, and double-click
distance.
Index
ERASING
The pen eraser (when equipped) works like the eraser on a pencil.
16
Visit the Wacom website to learn about applications that support the eraser. If the eraser is not supported in an application, you can still use the eraser for positioning, drawing, or annotation.
