WORKING WITH THE TABLET
Think of the tablet’s active area as a mapped representation of your computer screen. Wherever you place your
pen 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. As you work with Graphire3, you can rest your hand on the tablet surface, just as if it were a drawing board
or piece of paper.
Your tablet comes with a transparent photo frame cover used to
protect your favorite photos or artwork. See Changing the
Tablet Underlay and Creating a New Tablet Underlay for details
on this feature.
Your tablet also comes with an integrated pen storage
compartment. When you are not using the Graphire3 pen, you
can reach behind the tablet and press the pen into the storage
compartment or lay it flat on your desk. Leaving a Graphire3
tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning
when using other pointing devices.
If your product came with a pen stand, you can use it to store
the pen between tasks. This also makes the pen available for
quick, easy access when you are working.
