BASIC PEN OPERATIONS

Positioning: To position the screen cursor, move the pen slightly above the Cintiq
display screen without touching the screen surface. Press the pen tip on the
display screen to make a selection.

Note: You must calibrate the pen display to correctly align the screen cursor with
the pen tip. (See “Calibrating Cintiq” on page 29.) If the screen cursor does not
jump to a position close to the pen tip when you place the pen on the display
screen, then the pen display software driver may not be installed or is not loading.
Install the driver software if necessary. Otherwise, see “Troubleshooting” on
page 37
.

Clicking: Tap the display screen once with the pen tip, or touch the pen to the
display screen with enough pressure to register a click.

Tip: You can make navigating with the pen easier by configuring Windows to select

when the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn
on this feature, first open a folder.

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.
