USING THE PEN

The pen is cordless, battery-free, and senses the amount of pressure you apply to the tip. Hold the pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. As you work with the DTU-1931, you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable for drawing.

PEN COMPONENTS

Eraser: When equipped and the eraser is brought within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the display, the tablet reports the pen location. Pressure information is reported as you press down on the eraser. By default, the eraser function is set to ERASE.

Some non-eraser pens may be configured with a pen tether connection point.

DuoSwitch (side switch): When equipped, make sure the programmable switch is in a convenient location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger but not accidentally press it while writing or drawing. You can

use the switch whenever the pen tip is within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the display screen surface; you do not need to touch the pen tip to the display surface. Toggle the

switch in either direction to activate the button functions.

By default, the upper switch is set to DOUBLE CLICK and the lower switch is set to RIGHT CLICK.

Pen tip (replaceable nib): The pen is activated as soon as it is brought within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the pen display screen. This allows you to position the screen cursor without touching the pen tip to the display screen.

When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the pen simulates a primary mouse button click. The tip click pressure can be adjusted in the Wacom Tablet control panel.

Notes:

When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen storage compartment, or lay it flat on your desk.

To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its tip.

Some product configurations may come with a pen that has no DuoSwitch or eraser. In that case, you can ignore all explanations within this guide regarding the side switch or eraser.

IMPORTANT: Use only the pen that came with your DTU-1931 pen display. Other pens may not function properly. Also, the DTU-1931 pen tip is specifically designed for use with the DTU-1931 pen display – the tips on other pens could damage the protective coating on the pen display screen.

For information on customizing the pen settings, see Customizing on page 21.
