PEN PROBLEMS
When working in some
applications, the ExpressKeys
or Touch Ring perform a
different function than what is
set in the Wacom Tablet
control panel.
Some applications can override and control the ExpressKey and Touch
Ring functions. See Using integrated applications
.
If using application-specific settings, be sure you have updated the
settings for the application you are working with.
The pen does not position the
screen cursor, or otherwise
work properly.
If the tablet driver does not load properly, pen input will not be
available.
You will be able to use the pen tip to move the screen cursor and
click, but there will be no other pen functionality.
For tablet models that combine pen input and touch, basic touch
movement will continue to be recognized but other actions and
gestures will not.
Install the driver software for the tablet.
The pen does not draw or ink
with pressure sensitivity.
Some applications require that you turn on the pressure capabilities
within the application or the selected tool before the pen will respond
as a pressure-sensitive tool.
Verify also that your application supports pressure sensitivity.
Clicking is difficult. Try using a lighter T
IP FEEL. See Adjusting tip feel and double-click.
Double-clicking is difficult. Be sure you are quickly tapping the tablet twice in the same place on
the tablet active area. Wacom recommends using the side switch to
double-click.
