USING THE GRAPHIRE PENYour Graphire Pen is cordless, batteryless, and pressure sensitive. There are four basic techniques forusing the Graphire Pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. With a bit of practice, using thepen will become second nature to you. If you are unfamiliar with using a pen, try the exercises on the
following pages.HOLDING THE PENHold the Graphire Pen like you would a normal pen. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient locationwhere you can toggle it with your thumb or index finger, but not accidently press the switch while drawing.You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable for drawing.
Important: When the Graphire Pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk.To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on itstip.
Leaving a Graphire tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using otherpointing devices.

USING GRAPHIRE Page 26
Contents
Index
The Graphire Pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursor twodifferent ways, like a pen (Pen Mode) or like a mouse (Mouse Mode).
In Pen Mode, the tablets active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen where every
point on the tablets active area corresponds to exactly one point on the display screen; wherever youplace the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen.This is the default setting for the Graphire Pen, and makes tracing possiblesomething you cannot dowith a mouse.
In Mouse Mode (the default position for the Graphire Cordless Mouse), you move the cursor with apick up and roll action similar to using a mouse.
Try moving the screen cursor by lifting the Graphire Pen and placing it in a new location on the tablet.The cursor instantly jumps to the new location.
Learning Hint:If you are used toworking with a mouse and find thatusing a pen is somewhat difficult, trythe Eye-Hand Coordination Exercise.
Pointing Hint:Pointing is easier whenyou orient the tablet so the screen cursorfollows the same direction as your handmovements on the tablet.
As the pen enters Proximity, the tabletsenses the pen above the tablet surface.You do not need to touch the tablet with thepen tip in order to move the screen cursor.

Clicking. To click, tap the tablet once with the tip of the Graphire Pen, or press the pen tip on the tabletwith enough force to register a click. (With the pen tip, there is no audible click sound.)
Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip.
The icon should highlight when you press.
Double Clicking. To double-click, quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip. This islike clicking twice with a mouse button. You can also double-click by pressing the upper side switchthisis the preferred method of double-clicking with a pen.
Try both ways of double-clicking on a folder icon to open it. First use your pen tip to do this, then use the
upper side switch.

Index
The Graphire Pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to createnatural-looking pen and brush strokes. Many graphics applications have drawing tools that respond to thepressure you place on the pen. For example, in some drawing programs sliders are used to vary brushcharacteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be controlled much better by theGraphire Pens pressure-sensitivity. You can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with thepressure you exert upon the pen.
To draw with pressure-sensitivity, select a pressure-sensitive tool from your applications tool palette.Draw along the surface of the tablet while applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip ofthe Graphire 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.

The eraser on the Graphire Pen works like the eraser on a pencil. In graphics applications that supportthe pens eraser, you can erase intuitively and naturally. When you use the pens eraser, the applicationwill automatically switch to the eraser tool. You can also use the eraser in many standard officeapplications. The eraser will not be pressure sensitive, but you can use it to select and delete text orspreadsheet cells.
Try your eraser by opening Windows Notepad and typing a few words. Use the eraser to select the text.
When you lift the eraser, the text will be erased. For further information on using your eraser, seeAdjusting Eraser Feel.
Visit our web site for a list of graphics applications that support the eraser (see Product Information). If theeraser is not supported in an application, you can still use the eraser for navigating and drawing.

If you use a mouse, you may remember how long it took to get used to positioning the screen cursor.Your Graphire Pen, likewise, will take a bit of practice to master the technique of positioning the screencursor in Pen Mode. This may seem difficult at first, but it is more natural and faster than in Mouse Mode.
This exercise is designed to retrain your eye-hand coordination for using the Graphire Pen:
1. Open any graphics application. Use the line tool to draw a rectangular grid with line spacings of about20-25 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 Graphire Pen to draw a dot at each gridintersection.
3. Draw an X at each grid intersection.4. Now draw a circle around each intersection. Your screen should look like this:
5. Clear your screen and make a simple drawing of your own. The more you use your Graphire Pen, theeasier drawing and navigation will become.

By default, the rolling fingerwheel provides a line scrollingcapability in applications that are compatible with the Microsoft IntelliMouse wheel.
The left buttons is set to LEFTCLICKby default.
The right button is set toRIGHTCLICKby default.
To learn how to program buttons, see Customizing the Graphire Cordless Mouse.

Keep your Graphire tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your Graphire toolsand cause wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help prolong the life ofyour tablet surface and Graphire tools. You can also use a very mild soap diluted with water. Do notusevolatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, because they may damage the plastic case.
Keep your tablet and tools in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature isbest. Also, your Graphire tools and tablet are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case can breakthe pen. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.
Important: When the Graphire Pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk.To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on
the tip.

The tip (nib) will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short or develops a flat point, you canreplace it with another nib.
1. Clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the
pen.2. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
