Make sure the pen buttons are in a convenient location where you can toggle them with your thumb or forenger, but not accidently press them while drawing or navigating with the pen. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable. Use the integrated pen rest to store the pen between tasks. This also makes the pen available for quick, easy access when you are working. The rest allows horizontal placement of the pen. Position for writing, drawing, and navigating. Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen rest or lay it at on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its tip. Leaving the Bamboo One pen on the tablet active area may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices. Also, leaving the pen on the tablet active area when not in use can prevent your computer from going to sleep. Contents Index 10 Contents Index 11 ABOUT THE ACTIVE AREA The active area is the area of the tablet that senses pen movement. The screen area is the corresponding area on the screen. The tablet active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen (a one-to-one relationship), and uses the entire screen. Wherever you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. This is the default setting for the pen. Pointer. Screen area. The pointer in the screen area indicates pen position, and the pointer follows the movements of the pen. Active area.

). Try moving the screen cursor by lifting the pen and placing the pen tip in a new location on the tablet. The cursor instantly jumps to the new location. When positioning the screen cursor and operating a pen button, the pen tip needs to be within 5 mm (0.20 inch) of the tablet surface. You do not need to touch the tablet with the pen tip in order to move the screen cursor or use a pen button. 5 mm (0.20 inch) Hints:

If you nd that using a pen is somewhat difcult, try the eye-hand coordination exercise. Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet. Contents Index 12 Contents Index 13 CLICKING You typically click to highlight or select something on the screen, and double-click to open it. Clicking. Tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to register a click. (If C is selected in the Pen Tablet control panel and your computer speakers are on, then you will hear a click sound when the pen tip is pressed hard enough to generate a button click.) Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip. The folder should highlight when you press. OUND LICK S Hint: You can congure Windows to select when the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this feature, rst open a folder. For Windows Vista, from the ORGANIZE pull-down menu choose FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS.... From the GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM (POINT TO SELECT). For other Windows versions, from the TOOLS pull-

down menu choose FOLDER OPTIONS.... From the GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM

(POINT TO SELECT). Double-clicking. with a mouse button. Try double-clicking on a folder icon to open it. Quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip. This is like clicking twice Hint: Set a pen button to DOUBLE CLICK. This is easier than tapping twice with the pen tip. DRAGGING To drag, rst point to an object. Then press the pen tip to the tablet and slide it across the tablet surface. The selected object will move across the screen. To select text, move the screen cursor to the beginning of a text line, then drag the pen across the tablet until the text is highlighted. First, try moving an icon on the screen. Then, within a document, select some text by pressing and dragging the pen tip across the text. Contents Index 13 Contents Index 14 USING THE PEN BUTTONS The Bamboo One pen has two buttons. Each button has a programmable function that is selected when you press the button. You can use a pen button whenever the pen tip is within 5 mm (0.20 inch) of the tablet active area. You do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use a button. The upper pen button is set to RIGHT CLICK, and the lower button is set to PAN/SCROLL by default. Use RIGHT CLICK to bring up application-specic or icon-

specic menus. PAN/SCROLL lets you position a document or image in any direction within the active window by pressing the pen button and moving the pen tip across the tablets active area. As you move the pen tip, the document or image is repositioned to follow the direction of pen movement on the tablet. Release the pen button or lift the pen tip from the tablet surface when you are done. In some application windows the document will precisely follow the screen cursor as you move the pen tip, while in others it will simply move in the same general direction as the screen cursor. Hint: Set a pen button to DOUBLE CLICK. This is easier than tapping twice with the pen tip. Example of right click on computer display. Example of pan/scroll movement on computer display. To assign new button functions, see customizing the pen buttons. Contents Index 14 Contents Index 15 WRITING AND INKING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY The Bamboo One pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes. The digital ink tools in Microsoft Windows Vista and Ofce 2007, as well as the drawing tools in many graphics applications, respond to the pressure you place on the pen. For example, sliders are used in some applications to vary line characteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be controlled much better by the pens pressure sensitivity you can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with the pressure you exert upon the pen. To write, ink, or sketch with pressure sensitivity, move the pen along the surface of the tablet while applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of the pen. Press hard for thick lines or dense color. Press gently for thin lines or softer color. Note that some applications require that you rst select a pressure-sensitive tool from the applications tool palette. To adjust the tip feel, see adjusting tip feel and double-click. Visit our web site for a list of applications that support pressure. See product information. EYE-HAND COORDINATION EXERCISE This exercise is designed to retrain your eye-hand coordination for using the pen:

1. Open any graphics application. Use the line tool to sketch a rectangular grid with line spacings of about 20-25 mm (3/4 to 1 inch). You can use your traditional mouse to do this. 2. Choose a free-hand tool in your application and use the pen to add a dot at each grid intersection. 3. Place an X at each grid intersection. 4. Now sketch a circle around each intersection. Your screen should look like this:

5. Clear your screen and make a simple illustration of your own. The more you use your pen, the easier drawing and navigation will become. Contents Index 15 Contents Index 16 WORKING WITH THE TABLET The middle area of the tablet is the working, or active, area for the pen. Rest your hand on the tablet and then work with the pen on the active area of the tablet just as if you were using a ball point pen on a piece of paper. Wherever you place your pen on the tablet active area, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. See using the cordless pen for more information.

The ratio between the vertical and horizontal dimension of the tablet or display. Click force. The amount of force you must apply to the tip of your pen for a click to occur. Digital Ink. A broad category that typically describes handwritten content which has been created using pen-based input on a computer. This handwritten content takes the form of sketches, ink mark-up, or handwriting. The handwriting can optionally be converted to typewritten text or simply left alone for use in its original format. Depending on your system and application settings, the handwritten text you make with digital ink can be converted on-the-y or at another time. Double-click distance. The maximum distance (in screen pixels) that the cursor can move between clicks and still be accepted as a double-click. Increasing the double-click distance makes double-clicking easier, but may cause a delay in brush strokes in some graphics applications. Journal. A Microsoft Windows application that electronically simulates a physical journal pad, but with the advantages of digital note-taking. For example, you can create quick sketches and jot handwritten notes that can be converted to text and sent on to colleagues for digital mark-up. Journal includes a variety of pen, marker, and highlighter tools. Additionally, your handwritten content is searchable within Journal. Mapping. The relationship between your Bamboo One pen position on the tablet and the cursor position on the display screen. Modier.

The Input Panel dynamically converts your handwriting to text. The information you create can then be inserted into other documents, spreadsheets, or illustrations.
