OPTIMIZING THE EXPRESSKEYS DISPLAY

The pen tablet ExpressKeys display uses Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Although the display has been designed to provide reliable performance for many years, you may eventually notice a decrease in luminosity for pixels that are lit over extended periods of time. To minimize the appearance of different pixel brightnesses due to this effect, adjust the EXPRESSKEY DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS option to the lowest comfortable light level. See advanced options for details.

Note: The power saving feature of the pen tablet will automatically dim the ExpressKeys display if there has been no user input for 1 minute, and it will turn off the ExpressKeys display if the pen tablet has been idle for 2.5 minutes.

USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROL

Some software applications may be designed to directly control the pen tablet ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function(s). When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring may perform a different function than what is currently set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.

•When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKeys display will automatically update to show either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys may be overridden, depending on the application.

•When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application overrides only one, two, or three of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set to SKIP.

•An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring only when that application is active and in the foreground. When you close that application (or select a new application pane to work in), your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.

•To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an ExpressKey to SHOW SETTINGS and press the key at any time.

Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to opt- out or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom tablet with the application. See the documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to customize or disable this feature.

If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation does not describe how to disable this behavior, you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings which will override the behavior of the integrated application.

Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to APPLICATION DEFINED will allow the integrated application to control the function.
