TESTING YOUR PEN
If the pen does not work as you expect, it is a good idea to first check the assigned functions or
reset the pen to its default conditions. A quick way to reset a pen to its default settings is to remove
it from the T
OOL
list by clicking on the list’s [ – ] button. After the pen has been removed, place it
back onto the display screen surface and the pen will be re-added to the T
OOL
list with its default
settings.
Open the Wacom Tablet control panel and click on the A
BOUT
button. In the dialog box that
appears, click on the D
IAGNOSE
... button to open the D
IAGNOSTICS
dialog box. The D
IAGNOSTICS
dialog box displays dynamic information about the pen display tablet and pen. This information is
used when testing the pen display tablet and your pen.
If more than one pen display unit is connected to your system, be sure to select the unit for which
you are testing in the T
ABLET
I
NFO
column.
Note: When testing your pen buttons, if a button is set to R
ADIAL
M
ENU
or O
PEN
/R
UN
..., that function will
occur when the button is pressed. In this case you may want to change that button’s function before
testing.
1.
While observing the P
OINTING
D

column, bring your pen within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the
display screen. A value for P

should be displayed.

Move your tool along the tablet surface. The X and Y D

tool position.

Test your pen switches. The DTU-1931 status LED should light blue each time you click with
the pen tip, press the side switch, or press the pen’s eraser to the display screen.
•
Press on the display screen surface with the pen tip – the S

value should change. (P
RESSURE
should change from approximately 0% with no pressure
applied to approximately 100% when full pressure is applied.)
•
Next, press the side switch (when equipped) without pressing the tip to the tablet – the
S
WITCHES
state should change. Do this for both positions of the DuoSwitch.
•
Press the pen eraser (when equipped) to the display screen – the S
