the tablet active area. A value for

P

, D

EVICE

T

YPE

, and a D

number) should be displayed. If you have more than one tablet connected to your system, be sure you
have selected the T

ABLET

for which you are testing your tools from the T

ABLET

I

NFO

column.

2. Move your tool along the tablet surface. The X and Y D

ATA

values should change to reflect the tool

position.

3. Test your Intuos4 pen switches. A tablet status LED should brighten each time you click with the tool

tip, press the side switch, or press the tool’s eraser to the tablet.

•

Click on the tablet surface with the tool tip – the S

WITCHES

state and P

RESSURE

value should change.

(P

RESSURE

should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately 100%

when full pressure is applied.)

•

Press the side switch without pressing the tip to the tablet – the S

WITCHES

state should change.

(For the Intuos4 pen, do this for both positions of the side switch.)

•

Press the tool’s eraser to the tablet – the S

WITCHES

state and P

RESSURE

value should change.

(Pressure should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately 100%
when full pressure is applied.)

•

For the Airbrush, move the fingerwheel forward – the W

HEEL

value should decrease to a value of

approximately 0 when the fingerwheel is all the way forward. Move the fingerwheel backward – the
W

HEEL

value should increase to approximately 1000 when the fingerwheel is all the way back.

4. Test tilt for the x-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the right; the X T

ILT

value should

change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool to the left of vertical; the X T

ILT

value should

change from approximately 0 to -60.

5. Test tilt for the y-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the bottom of the tablet; the Y

T

ILT

value should change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool toward the top of the tablet;

the Y T

ILT

value should change from approximately 0 to -60.

6. If you are testing an Art Pen, test pen rotation by holding the pen vertically and twisting it around its

axis. The displayed R

OTATION

value should change.

7. When you are done, click on the C

button to exit the dialog box.
