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
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
the switch.
To assign new switch functions, see customizing the side switch.
DRAWING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
The Graphire pen responds to 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.
The digital ink tools in Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007 also respond to the pressure you place on
the pen.
Hints:
• Press the upper side switch to double-click. This is easier than tapping
twice with the pen tip.
• Use a right-click to bring up application-specific or icon-specific menus.
The upper switch position is set to
D
OUBLE C LICK , and the lower switch is
set to R IGHT C LICK by default.
To draw with pressure-sensitivity, first
select a pressure-sensitive tool from
your application’s tool palette. Then
draw 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. To adjust the tip
feel, see adjusting tip feel, eraser feel,
and double-click.
