The line you are drawing
does not line up with the
location of the screen
cursor in paint applications.

To function properly, some applications require that the pen is set to
P

EN

mode. Make sure the pen has not been toggled to M

mode.

If the pen is set to P

EN

mode and the problem still exists, then you

may have a corrupted preferences file. Follow the instructions in the
next tip to create a new preferences file.

You suspect the pen tablet
preferences may be

certain that all settings are
at their factory defaults.

The screen cursor moves
erratically or jumps around
on the display screen when
another tablet is connected
to your computer.

The tablet portion of Cintiq emits electromagnetic waves at a certain
frequency. If another tablet is too closely placed to Cintiq it may
interfere with screen cursor positioning. If this occurs, move the
tablet further away from Cintiq.
