USING GRAPHIRE This section introduces you to the Graphire pen and mouse set. If you are new to using a graphics tablet and tablet input tools, read the following sections. They describe your Graphire tools and explain how to use them with the tablet. APPEARANCE AND FEATURES SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA WORKING WITH THE TABLET...
APPEARANCE AND FEATURES The Graphire pen and mouse set consists of two basic elements: a graphics tablet that serves as your work area, and the Graphire Tools you use with the tablet.

SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA Organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position your Graphire 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. To minimize fatigue: •...
WORKING WITH THE TABLET Your tablet comes with a detachable pen stand and a transparent overlay. For free-standing use, place the pen To attach the pen stand, place the stand above the tablet cable. stand within easy reach of your tablet. Push the stand toward the tablet’s pen stand cutout until the stand fits snugly.
USING THE GRAPHIRE PEN Your Graphire Pen is cordless, batteryless, and pressure sensitive. There are four basic techniques for using the Graphire 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.
POINTING The Graphire 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 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;...
CLICKING Clicking. To click, tap the tablet once with the tip of the Graphire 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.
USING THE SIDE SWITCH The Graphire 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 Proximity of the tablet.
DRAGGING Dragging is used to select and move objects on the screen. To drag, first point to an object. Then press the Graphire Pen to the tablet and slide it across the tablet. The selected object will move across the screen.
PROXIMITY The pen is activated as soon as it enters proximity 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. You can also trace a drawing or photograph as long as the pen tip remains within proximity height.
DRAWING WITH PRESSURE The Graphire 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).
ERASING The eraser on the Graphire 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.
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 Graphire Pen, likewise, will take a bit of practice to master the technique of positioning the screen cursor in Mode.
USING THE GRAPHIRE CORDLESS MOUSE The Graphire Cordless Mouse is batteryless and works on your Graphire tablet. By moving the Cordless Mouse across the tablet’s active area, you can position the screen cursor like you do with a regular mouse. The buttons are programmable, and the integrated fingerwheel is both a programmable middle button and a rolling wheel for scrolling.
USING THE CORDLESS MOUSE FINGERWHEEL To use the fingerwheel, place your hand on the Graphire Cordless Mouse with your index finger on the wheel. • Button function. To use the button function, press down on the wheel to perform a button click. •...
CARING FOR YOUR TOOLS AND TABLET Keep your Graphire tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your Graphire 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 Graphire tools.
REPLACING THE PEN 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 another nib. See Parts and Accessories. 1. Clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.
After you master the basics of using your Graphire pen and mouse set, you may want to customize the way Graphire works. This chapter describes how to use the Wacom control panel to adjust your Graphire tool and tablet settings.
Open the control panel with the Graphire tool you wish to customize. 1. Using your Graphire tool, open the Apple menu and choose C ONTROL ANELS 2. Double-click on the tablet icon. To open the Wacom control panel, double-click here with the tool you wish to customize. CUSTOMIZING Contents...

HAVING TROUBLE? Most of the time your tablet will work flawlessly. But if you are having trouble, Wacom recommends you do the following: 1. Refer to the troubleshooting procedures described in this chapter. 2. Look in the troubleshooting tables. Your problem may be described there and you can try the solution offered.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the Wacom Tablet driver failed to load properly, first perform the recommended action in the error message on your screen. If that does not solve the problem, perform the following tests for your tablet or tool(s) to determine whether the source of the problem is the tablet hardware or a software conflict.
2. Check the pen. Move your Graphire Pen across the active area of the tablet; the screen cursor should move in the corresponding direction on your monitor. Press the pen tip against the tablet surface. The status LED on the tablet should turn from orange to green. Now, without applying pressure to the pen tip, press the side switch.
6. Now turn off one or two of the items that appear to be the problem. 7. Repeat this process as necessary until you find the offending INIT. If the conflicting item is not required, leave it disabled. Otherwise, check if an updated version is available or contact Wacom Technical Support.
