CONTROL PANEL DETAILS

ADJUSTING DOUBLE-CLICK

Double-clicking with the pen tip can be made easier by expanding the tap area that accepts a double-
click (the double-click distance), or by using the pen’s side switch to automatically double-click when
pressed. A large double-click distance may cause a delay at the beginning of your brushstrokes in
some drawing applications. If you notice such effects, try setting a smaller double-click distance and
using the side switch to double-click.

Hint: Press the upper switch to double-click. This is easier than tapping twice with the pen tip.

CUSTOMIZING THE SIDE SWITCH BUTTON FUNCTIONS

You can set the pen’s DuoSwitch to simulate a variety of functions. Just select an option from the pull-
down menu for either the upper or lower side switch. Your changes take effect immediately. When you
bring the pen tip within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the pen display tablet surface without touching the tablet and
press the side switch, the selected function occurs. The following list describes the available options.

C

. Default setting for the pen tip. Simulates a primary mouse button click.

D

pressing a pen switch set for P

AN

/S

CROLL

and then sliding the pen tip across the DTF-521 display

screen.

When you select P

AN

/S

CROLL

, you are prompted

to set a scrolling speed that will be used in
applications that do not support grabber hand
(pixel-level) panning within a document or image.

A slower setting reduces the scroll rate and is
useful for close-up and detail work where you
need precise control of the image.
