The pen is used to position the cursor (or pointer) on your screen.
Lift the pen and place the pen tip on the tablet active area. The cursor will appear at the new location.

Tips:
If you find that using a pen is somewhat difficult, try the
Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet square to the computer monitor so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
You can set the pen to position the screen cursor two different ways (see tablet to screen mapping).
•In PEN MODE, wherever you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will appear at a corresponding point on the display screen. The screen cursor indicates pen position, and follows the movement of the pen across the tablet surface. This is the default setting for the pen.
When positioning the screen cursor and operating a pen button, the pen tip needs to be within 10 mm (0.39 inch) of the tablet surface. The pen tip does not need to touch the tablet in order to move the screen cursor or use the side switch.
All Intuos4 tools, including the Intuos4 Mouse, work only over the active area of the tablet.
10 mm (0.39 inch)
•In MOUSE MODE, the default setting for the Intuos4 Mouse, you move the cursor with a “pick up and slide” motion similar to using a regular mouse.
