Pen Operations - Wacom DTF-720 Installation Manual And User's Manual

Pen operations

The basic methods of working with the pen are as follows:
Pointing and selecting: Move the pen above the DTF-720 display screen to position the screen
cursor. The pen tip needs to be within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the pen display tablet surface; you do not
need to touch the tablet surface to move the screen cursor. The cursor jumps to the location where you
place the pen (absolute positioning). Press the pen tip on the display screen to make a selection.
Note: You will need to calibrate the pen display tablet to correctly align the screen cursor with
the pen tip. (See Calibrating the DTF-720 on page 20.) If the screen cursor does not jump to a
position close to the pen tip when you place the pen on the display screen, then the pen tablet
driver may not be installed or is not loading. Install the pen tablet driver software if necessary.
Otherwise, refer to Troubleshooting , beginning on page 29.
Clicking: Tap the display screen once with the pen tip, or touch the pen to the display screen with
enough pressure to register a click.
Tip: You can make navigating with the pen easier by configuring Windows to select when the
pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this feature:
Windows XP, XP x64, 2000, or Me. Open a folder, select the T

Double-clicking: Press the upper side switch, or quickly tap the display screen twice in the same place
with the pen tip. Double-clicking is easier when the pen is perpendicular to the tablet screen. To fine-
tune the double-click area, see Adjusting double-click on page 21.
Dragging: Select an object, then slide the pen tip across the display screen to move the object.
Using the side switch: The 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 within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the tablet surface; you do not need to touch the pen tip
to the tablet in order to use the switch. The upper switch is set to D
set to R C by default.

Drawing with pressure-sensitivity: The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand
movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes within applications that
support this feature. To draw with pressure, select a pressure-sensitive tool from your application's tool
palette. As you draw on the screen surface, use various amounts of downward pressure on the tip of
the pen. Press lightly for thin lines or softer color. Press harder for thick lines or dense color.
