UNDERSTANDING THE TABLET ACTIVE AREA
Depending on your tablet model, Intuos5 can accept pen input or both pen and touch input.
Pen input
Your Intuos5 pen works only on the active area of the tablet.
Wherever you place the pen on the tablet, the screen pointer will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. The screen pointer indicates pen position, and follows the movement of the pen across the tablet surface.
Learn about using the Grip Pen.
Note: The active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen(s). By default it uses the entire screen or all screens if you have multiple displays. You can customize the mapping relationship for pen input by setting the tablet to screen mapping.
The tablet active area is the area of your Intuos5 tablet that senses pen input or touch.
For tablet models that support both pen input and touch:
Touch is ignored whenever the pen tip or eraser is within the tablet proximity range. Lift the pen and your hand away from the tablet active area to enable touch.
