TESTING A PEN
1. While observing the P OINTING D EVICE I NFO column, bring your Intuos4 tool within 10 mm (0.39 inch) of
the tablet active area. A value for P ROXIMITY , the D EVICE N AME , D EVICE T YPE , and a D EVICE S/N (serial
number) should be displayed. If you have more than one tablet connected to your system, be sure you
have selected the T
ABLET for which you are testing your tools from the T ABLET I NFO column.
2. Move your tool along the tablet surface. The X and Y D ATA values should change to reflect the tool
position.
3. Test your Intuos4 pen switches. A tablet status LED should brighten each time you click with the tool
tip, press the side switch, or press the tool’s eraser to the tablet.
• Click on the tablet surface with the tool tip – the S WITCHES state and P RESSURE value should change.
(P RESSURE should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately 100%
when full pressure is applied.)
• Press the side switch without pressing the tip to the tablet – the S WITCHES state should change.
(For the Intuos4 pen, do this for both positions of the side switch.)
• Press the tool’s eraser to the tablet – the S WITCHES state and P RESSURE value should change.
(Pressure should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately 100%
when full pressure is applied.)
• For the Airbrush, move the fingerwheel forward – the W HEEL value should decrease to a value of
approximately 0 when the fingerwheel is all the way forward. Move the fingerwheel backward – the
W
HEEL value should increase to approximately 1000 when the fingerwheel is all the way back.
4. Test tilt for the x-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the right; the X T ILT value should
change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool to the left of vertical; the X T ILT value should
change from approximately 0 to -60.
5. Test tilt for the y-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the bottom of the tablet; the Y
T ILT value should change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool toward the top of the tablet;
the Y T ILT value should change from approximately 0 to -60.
6. If you are testing an Art Pen, test pen rotation by holding the pen vertically and twisting it around its
axis. The displayed R OTATION value should change.
7. When you are done, click on the C LOSE button to exit the dialog box.
