POINTING
The Graphire pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursor two different ways, like a pen (PEN MODE) or like a mouse (MOUSE MODE).
•In PEN MODE, the tablet active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen; wherever you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. This is the default setting for the pen.
•In MOUSE MODE, the default setting for the cordless mouse, you move the cursor with a “pick up and slide” motion similar to using a traditional mouse.
Try moving the screen cursor by lifting the pen and placing the pen tip in a new location on the tablet. The cursor instantly jumps to the new location.
5 mm (0.20 inch)
When positioning the screen cursor and operating the side switch, the pen tip needs to be within 5 mm (0.20 inch) of the tablet surface. You do not need to touch the tablet with the pen tip in order to move the screen cursor or use the side switch.
The cordless mouse works similarly to the pen, and works only over the active area of the tablet.
Hints:
•If you find that using a pen is somewhat difficult, try the
•Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
