USING THE GRIP PEN

There are four basic techniques for using the pressure-sensitive pen on the active area of the tablet: pointing,

HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the Grip Pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient
location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press the switch while
drawing or navigating with the pen. Tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Position for drawing and navigating
Place the pen stand within easy reach of your tablet. The stand allows for
vertical or horizontal placement of the pen.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or
lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not
store the pen in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser.
Leaving an Intuos4 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor
positioning when using other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer
from going to sleep.
