Using the cordless pen

Your Graphire4 pen is cordless, battery-free, and pressure sensitive. There are four basic techniques for using the pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. With a bit of practice, using the pen will become second nature to you. If you are unfamiliar with using the pen, try the exercises on the following pages.

Holding the pen

Pointing

Clicking

Dragging

Using the side switches

Drawing with pressure-sensitivity

Erasing

Eye-hand coordination exercise

Holding the pen

Hold the Graphire4 pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the side switches are in a convenient location where you can toggle the switches with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press them while drawing. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable for drawing.

Position for drawing. Position for erasing.

Your tablet also comes with an integrated pen storage compartment. When you are not using the pen, you can snap the pen into the storage compartment or lay it flat on your desk.

Use the pen stand to store the pen between tasks. This also makes the pen available for quick, easy access when you are working.

Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen storage compartment, the pen stand, or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its tip. Leaving a Graphire4 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices. Also, leaving the pen on the tablet when not in use can prevent your computer from going to sleep.
