If you have customized the side switch on your pen to toggle between

 

 

pen mode and mouse mode, make sure that your pen display is

 

operating in pen mode.

When using the pen display on a multiple monitor system, you cannot use the pen to control the other monitor(s).

Set a pen button to DISPLAY TOGGLE, and then press that button to cycle between pen control for the pen display and your other displays.

You can also use your pen to control the other monitors in mouse mode. To use mouse mode, first set a pen side switch function to MODE TOGGLE.... Then use the switch to toggle between pen mode and

mouse mode.

The line you are sketching does not line up with the location of the screen cursor.

To function properly, some applications require that the pen is set to pen mode. Make sure the pen has not been toggled to mouse mode.

If the pen is set to pen mode and the problem still exists, then you may have a corrupted preferences file. Follow the instructions in the Windows or Macintosh troubleshooting sections to create a new preferences file.
