  • Use a soft TIP FEEL for a wider range of pressure values with most pressure-sensitive applications. In some applications, a soft pressure setting can make the pen overreact – any small press on the pen is magnified on the screen. If you experience this, try a firmer TIP FEEL setting.
  • To make double-clicking easier, expand the tap area that accepts a double-click (the double-click distance). A large double-click distance may cause a delay at the beginning of brush strokes in some graphics applications. If you notice such effects, try setting a smaller double-click distance and using the side switch to double-click.

What does the Tip Double Click Distance slider do?

Adjusts the size of the double-click area. A larger setting makes double-clicking easier. Drag the slider to OFF if you do not want double-click assist.

The options within the FEEL DETAILS dialog box enable you to change the tip or eraser pressure sensitivity and click threshold settings independently. (In the PEN and ERASER tabs, these settings are adjusted simultaneously with the TIP FEEL or ERASER FEEL slider.)

Are there any important things to remember about the Tip Feel or Eraser Feel sliders?

The TIP FEEL or ERASER FEEL sliders override the detail pressure settings. If you customize the detail settings, then drag the slider, your detail settings will be removed.

What does the Click Threshold slider do?

Drag the slider to adjust the click threshold level. This setting determines the amount of force required to generate a tip click.

How can I test the results of my changes in the Feel Details dialog?

Using your pen tip or eraser, make several strokes within the box to test the results of your changes.

What does the Sensitivity slider do?

Drag the slider to select a pressure sensitivity setting. If you have a soft touch and want to achieve full pressure without having to apply full force to your pen, choose a softer setting.

What does the Profile display?

The PROFILE graphically displays the selected pressure SENSITIVITY curve and CLICK THRESHOLD settings. A curve that increases quickly makes the pen feel more sensitive.

Why does Wacom periodically update the software driver for the tablet portion of the interactive pen display?

Wacom periodically updates the software driver for the tablet portion of the interactive pen display to maintain compatibility with new products. If you are having a compatibility problem between your interactive pen display and a new hardware or software product, it may be helpful to download a new Wacom software driver (when available) from the Internet.

Keep the pen and the LCD screen surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to the pen and cause excessive wear to the display screen surface. Regular cleaning will help prolong the life of your LCD screen surface and pen. Keep the pen display and pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best. The pen display and pen are not made to come apart. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.

Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the pen display or pen. Be especially careful of getting the display, or pen buttons and tip wet as they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them. To clean the pen display casing or the pen, use a soft, damp cloth; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, or other solvents to clean the unit casing or pen.

To clean the display screen, use an anti-static cloth or a slightly damp cloth. When cleaning, apply only a light amount of pressure to the display screen and do not make the surface wet. Do not use detergent to clean the display screen; this may damage the pen display screen. Please note that damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. If your pen display has a coated surface a worn nib may cause damage. To avoid this, periodic tip replacement is recommended. When the nib gets too short or develops a sharp edge, replace it with one of the extra nibs that came with the pen.

Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen storage compartment or lay it flat on your desk. Take care not to damage the pen nib when inserting or removing the pen from the storage compartment. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the tool in a container where it will rest on its tip.

How do I replace the pen tip?

  1. Clasp the old nib with a Wacom nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.
  2. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops. The new nib will slide into the correct position.

Warning Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them. Replace the pen nib when it gets too short, or less than 1 mm (0.04 inch).

How do you use an alternate mount or stand?
