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 interactive pen display and pen. This information is used when testing the
pen display 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
