WORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLE

DISPLAY TOGGLE is available only on multiple monitor systems. The feature allows you to use your pen on the interactive pen display to navigate the screen cursor to any display on your system. After setting a pen side switch to the DISPLAY TOGGLE function, you can then press that button to toggle the screen cursor between the pen display and your other displays. For example, your product can be used as a pen display where the screen cursor is positioned at the pen tip location, or toggled for use as a standard Wacom tablet where the screen cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or additional displays.

When you open the Wacom Tablet control panel and the pen display is the selected tablet, the DISPLAY

TOGGLE tab will be available if the system has two or more displays. The DISPLAY TOGGLE tab enables you to define how the mapping will be applied to each toggled display.

•When PEN DISPLAY TO DESKTOP

is selected and you press a pen button that has been assigned the DISPLAY TOGGLE function, the screen cursor will toggle from your pen display to the entire system desktop. Pressing the button a second time returns the screen cursor to the pen display.

•When PEN DISPLAY TO OTHER

DISPLAYS is selected and you press the pen button, the screen cursor is toggled from your pen display to another active pen display or monitor. If additional displays are attached to the system, the screen cursor will toggle to each display in turn until it returns to the pen display from where the initial toggle began.

Important: If you are using application-specific settings with DISPLAY TOGGLE, make sure each customized application in the APPLICATION list (including ALL OTHER) has a pen button that is assigned to DISPLAY TOGGLE.

ACTIVE AREA options enable you to determine the size of the area where the pen is functional on the pen display. When you make a selection, the red indicator updates to illustrate your choice.

•FORCE PROPORTIONS adjusts the size of the tablet’s active area to maintain correct vertical and horizontal proportions between the pen display and the entire desktop or newly mapped-to display. Depending on your settings, some portions of the tablet active area may no longer be usable when this option is selected.

•When deselected, the correct scale or proportions are not maintained – for example, sketching a circle on the pen display may create an ellipse on a mapped-to display screen.

•USE INSET AREA limits the tablet’s active area to a sizing of 6 x 8 inches. If FORCE PROPORTIONS is also selected, this sizing may be less.

When deselected, as much as possible of the entire tablet active area will be used for tablet-to-display mapping.
