USING THE GRIP PEN

The cordless, battery-free Grip Pen senses the amount of pressure and tilt you apply to the pen.

There are four basic techniques for using the pen on the active area of the tablet: pointing, clicking, double- clicking, and dragging. If you are unfamiliar with using the pen, try the exercises on the following pages.

Note: For Intuos5 tablets that support both pen input and touch, the pen disengages touch 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.

If you experience unintended touch actions, manually disable touch by pressing an ExpressKey set to TOUCH ON/OFF. When done working with the pen, press the ExpressKey again to enable touch. You can also use the Wacom Tablet control panel to disable touch. See customizing the tablet functions.
