Each tool also has a same tablet and to customize each tool differently. Note: The tool(s) included with your tablet will vary depending on which tablet model and configuration you purchased.
  • Page 17 Do you prefer to use a mouse for general navigation, pointing, and clicking? Just set aside your Intuos2 Pen and place the Intuos2 Mouse on the tablet. There is no need to go back to your old mouse, because your Intuos2 Mouse is an ideal tool for performing any task you may have done previously with a standard mouse.

  • Page 19: Setting Up Your Work Area

    SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA Organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position your Intuos2 tablet, input tools, and keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. Your monitor should be positioned so you can view it comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain. For some tablet models, you can adjust the tablet incline and attach the pen stand to better fit your work style.

  • Page 20: Working With The Tablet

    WORKING WITH THE TABLET Your tablet comes with a pen stand, a customizable menu strip, and a transparent overlay. ADJUSTING THE PEN STAND Position the pen stand near the tablet. The stand is free-standing. Place it within easy reach of your tablet. Contents Index 4x5/A6 tablet shown.

  • Page 21: Adjusting Tablet Incline

    ADJUSTING TABLET INCLINE Intuos2 6x8/A5 and 9x12/A4-regular tablets come with a rubber bar that can be used to raise the tablet’s incline angle. If you frequently use the tablet on your lap, you may not want to apply the incline bar. For desktop use, you may find an inclined tablet position more comfortable.

  • Page 22: Using The Tablet Menu Strip

    USING THE TABLET MENU STRIP All Intuos2 tablets have a menu strip with programmable buttons that allow you to quickly perform common tasks. For 4x5/A6 tablets, the menu strip is printed on the overlay sheet. For 6x8/A5 and larger tablets, the menu strip is removable, and can be written on with a pencil. The number of available buttons depends on your tablet model.

  • Page 25: Using The Pen

    USING THE PEN Intuos2 Pens are cordless, batteryless, and pressure sensitive. There are four basic techniques for using the Intuos2 Pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. With a bit of practice, using the pen will become second nature to you. If you are unfamiliar with using a pen, try the exercises on the following pages.

  • Page 26: Pointing

    POINTING The Intuos2 Pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursor two different ways, like a pen (Pen Mode) or like a mouse (Mouse Mode). • In Pen Mode, the tablet’s active area is like a mapped representation of your computer screen where every point on the tablet’s active area corresponds to exactly one point on the display screen;...

  • Page 27: Clicking

    CLICKING Clicking. To click, tap the tablet once with the tip of the Intuos2 Pen, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to register a click. (With the pen tip, there is no audible “click” sound.) Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip.

  • Page 28: Using The Side Switch

    USING THE SIDE SWITCH The standard Intuos2 Pen is equipped with a DuoSwitch. This switch has two programmable functions that can be selected by rocking the switch in either direction. You can use the DuoSwitch whenever the pen tip is in Proximity of the tablet.

  • Page 29: Dragging

    DRAGGING Dragging is used to select and move objects on the screen. To drag, first point to an object. Then press the Intuos2 Pen to the tablet and slide it across the tablet. The selected object will move across the screen.

  • Page 30: Proximity

    PROXIMITY The pen is activated as soon as it enters proximity, about 6 mm (0.24 inch), above the tablet’s active area. This allows you to position the screen cursor or use the side switch without touching the pen tip to the tablet.

  • Page 31: Drawing With Pressure

    DRAWING WITH PRESSURE The Intuos2 Pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes. Many graphics applications have drawing tools that respond to the pressure you place on the pen. For example, in some drawing programs sliders are used to vary brush characteristics (width, color, and opacity).

  • Page 32: Drawing With Tilt

    As an example, with the Wacom PenTools Virtual Airbrush Photoshop plug-in, tilting the pen results in an elongated pattern.

  • Page 33: Erasing

    ERASING The eraser on the Intuos2 Pen works like the eraser on a pencil. In graphics applications that support the pen’s eraser, you can erase intuitively and naturally. When you use the pen’s eraser, the application will automatically switch to the eraser tool. You can also use the eraser in many standard office applications. The eraser will not be pressure sensitive, but you can use it to select and delete text or spreadsheet cells.

  • Page 34: Eye-Hand Coordination Exercise

    EYE-HAND COORDINATION EXERCISE If you use a mouse, you may remember how long it took to get used to positioning the screen cursor. Your Intuos2 Pen, likewise, will take a bit of practice to master the technique of positioning the screen cursor in Mode.

  • Page 35: Using The Airbrush

    USING THE AIRBRUSH The Intuos2 Airbrush is similar to the Intuos2 Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional degree of control. With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example, tilting the Intuos2 Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel can adjust the spray intensity, and pressure on the tip can control the brush size.

  • Page 36: Holding The Airbrush

    Your index finger should operate the wheel independently of the pressure you apply to the tip. To customize the fingerwheel, see Visit Wacom’s web site to learn which applications currently support the airbrush fingerwheel. Product Information. Airbrush Settings.

  • Page 37: Using The 2D Mouse

    USING THE 2D MOUSE The Intuos2 2D Mouse is cordless, batteryless, and works on any Intuos2 tablet. By moving the 2D Mouse across the tablet’s active area, you can position the screen cursor like you do with a regular mouse (M ).

  • Page 38: Using The 4D Mouse

    USING THE 4D MOUSE The Intuos2 4D Mouse is a cordless, batteryless mouse that works on any Intuos2 tablet. By default, you can position the screen cursor like you do with a regular mouse (M in the M tab, you can position and navigate the screen cursor like you do with the Intuos2 APPING PEED Pen.

  • Page 40: Using The Lens Cursor

    USING THE LENS CURSOR The Intuos2 Lens Cursor is an input device that allows you to enter precise coordinate position information into your computer. The Lens Cursor reports the position of the cross-hair to the computer. This makes the Lens Cursor especially useful for tracing and digitizing drawings into graphics and CAD applications. By default, the Lens Cursor is set to M you do with a regular mouse.

  • Page 41: Caring For Your Tools And Tablet

    CARING FOR YOUR TOOLS AND TABLET Keep your Intuos2 tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your Intuos2 tools and cause wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help prolong the life of your tablet surface and Intuos2 tools.

  • Page 42: Replacing The Pen Or Airbrush Tip

    REPLACING THE PEN OR AIRBRUSH TIP The tip (nib) will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short or develops a flat point, you can replace it with the extra nib that came with your tool. 1. Clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen or airbrush.

  • Page 43: Duoswitch Removal And Installation

    DUOSWITCH REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION Some users prefer to remove the DuoSwitch when working with the Intuos2 Grip Pen. For example, you may want to remove the switch in order to focus on a drawing and eliminate any accidental clicks that would occur if you unintentionally pressed on the switch.
  • Page 44 To install the DuoSwitch: 1. Remove the pen tip cone by turning it counterclockwise. Then pull the grip forward over the pen tip. 2. Install the original grip (the one with the DuoSwitch access slot) by aligning the pen case rails with the grooves inside the grip and pushing the grip over the pen tip.
