• For Windows XP, from the TOOLS pull-down menu choose FOLDER
OPTIONS.... From the GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN
ITEM (POINT TO SELECT).
Double-clicking
Press the upper side switch, or quickly tap the display screen twice in the same place
with the pen tip. Double-clicking is easier when the pen is perpendicular to the tablet
screen. See the electronic Software User’s Manual for information on fine-tuning the
double-click area.
Dragging
Select an object, then slide the pen tip across the display screen to move the object.
Using the pen tool buttons
The pen may be equipped with tool buttons. The programmable functions can be
selected by rocking the switch in either direction. You can use the buttons whenever
the pen tip is within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the display screen surface; you do not need to
touch the pen tip to the display surface in order to use the button. By default, the
upper button is set to DOUBLE CLICK, and the lower button is set to RIGHT CLICK.
Drawing and writing with pressure sensitivity
The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you
to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes within applications that support this
feature. To draw and write with pressure, select a pressure-sensitive tool from your
application’s tool palette. As you work on the screen surface, use various amounts of
downward pressure on the tip of the pen. Press lightly for thin lines or softer color.
Press harder for thick lines or dense color.
Erasing
In supporting applications, the pen’s eraser works like the eraser on a pencil. In text
applications, use the eraser to select text, then lift the eraser from the tablet to delete
the text.
Using the Pen Tool Buttons
Use the pen tool buttons to control how the interactive pen display responds to your
screen presses. You can use the pen tool buttons to left-click, right-click, write digital
ink (in black, blue or red) or erase when you press the screen.
Clicking and
Mouse Modes
When you press the Select pen tool button, each screen press is interpreted as a
left-click until you press a different pen tool button.
Press the Select button and then press the tip of the tethered pen to the interactive
screen. To double-click, press twice with the pen. To drag an object, press and hold
the object with the tip of the pen, and drag it to its new location.
