Using your tablet
Tablet features and controls
Before using the tablet, it is important to understand its basic
hardware features as well as the software controls.
Hardware features
As with any new tool, it may take time to become accustomed to the
tablet's use. It is not necessary for the stylus to make contact with the
tablet in order to move the pointer or cursor. The tablet recognizes the
stylus from a proximity of about a third of an inch. For more precise
movement, gentle contact with the tablet is recommended.
Stylus buttons
The stylus is equipped with 3 "buttons." The tip of the stylus
represents one of these buttons. The stylus tip emulates the left
mouse button. To click, gently tap the stylus when the pointer is in the
desired position. To double-click, gently tap the stylus tip twice in
succession. Pressing down too hard when double-clicking often
results in a single-click, so be sure to make distinct movements with
the stylus. The lower button on the side of the stylus emulates the
right mouse button.
Using both the tablet and mouse
The tablet and its driver can be installed without removing or disabling
an existing mouse. The ImagePad is designed with the capability of
using both at the same time, offering you greater flexibility. Simply
ensure that the mouse and tablet exist on different COM ports to use
them concurrently.
Tablet care and maintenance
By keeping the tablet free of dirt and grime, it will provide years of
dependable use. Be sure to use the tablet in a clean working
environment, and simply wipe it clean if it becomes dusty.
