THE PEN EXPERIENCE WITH BAMBOO
Bamboo is designed to enhance the way you work. Bamboo tablet models equipped for pen input enable you to interact with a computer using the pen on the active area of the tablet.
Note: For Bamboo tablets that support both pen and touch input, the pen disengages touch input whenever the pen tip or eraser (when equipped) is within the tablet proximity range. Lift the pen and your hand away from the tablet active area to enable touch input. If you experience unintended touch input from your hand, manually disable touch by pressing an Expresskey set to TOUCH TOGGLE. When done working with the pen, press the ExpressKey again to enable touch. See customizing tablet and ExpressKey functions. You can also use the Bamboo control panel to disable touch input.

Hold the pen like you would hold a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the pen buttons are in a convenient location where you can toggle them with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press them while drawing or positioning with the pen. Tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
When you are not using the pen, store it in the pen holder. The eraser end of the pen should be inserted first into the loop.

Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen holder or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser (when equipped). Leaving the pen on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer from going to sleep.
