WORKING WITH THE TABLET
Your tablet comes with a detachable pen stand and a transparent overlay.
For free-standing use, place the pen
stand within easy reach of your tablet.
To trace or digitize an image, lift the tablet
overlay and slide the image beneath it.
To attach the pen stand, place the stand above the tablet cable.
Push the stand toward the tablet’s pen stand cutout until the stand fits
snugly. To detach the pen stand, slide it back away from the tablet.

USING THE GRAPHIRE PEN
Your Graphire Pen is cordless, batteryless, and pressure sensitive. There are four basic techniques for
using the Graphire Pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. With a bit of practice, using the
pen will become second nature to you. If you are unfamiliar with using a pen, try the exercises on the
following pages.
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the Graphire Pen like you would a normal pen. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient location
where 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 its
tip.
Leaving a Graphire tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other
pointing devices.

USING GRAPHIRE
Page 26
Contents
Index
POINTING
The Graphire Pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursor two
different ways, like a pen (Pen Mode) or like a mouse (Mouse Mode).
In Pen Mode, the tablet’s active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen where every
point on the tablet’s active area corresponds to exactly one point on the display 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 Graphire Pen, and makes tracing possible—something you cannot do
with a mouse.
In Mouse Mode (the default position for the Graphire Cordless Mouse), you move the cursor with a
“pick 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 to
working with a mouse and find that
using a pen is somewhat difficult, try
the Eye-Hand Coordination Exercise.
Pointing Hint: Pointing is easier when
you orient the tablet so the screen cursor
follows the same direction as your hand
movements on the tablet.
As the pen enters Proximity, the tablet
senses the pen above the tablet surface.
You do not need to touch the tablet with the
pen tip in order to move the screen cursor.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 27
Contents
Index
CLICKING
Clicking.
To click, tap the tablet once with the tip of the Graphire Pen, or press the pen tip on the tablet
with 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 is
like clicking twice with a mouse button. You can also double-click by pressing the upper side switch—this
is 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.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 28
Contents
Index
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 in
Pro
ximity of the tablet. You do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use the switch.
To assign new switch functions, refer to Customizing
Tool Buttons.
Double-Click Hint: Press the upper side
switch to double-click. This is easier than
tapping twice with the pen tip.
Windows Hint: Use right-click to bring up
application-specific or icon-specific menus.
The upper switch position is set
to left double-click by default.
The lower switch position is set for
a right-click by default.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 29
Contents
Index
DRAGGING
Dragging is used to select and move objects on the screen. To drag, first point to an object. Then press
the Graphire Pen to the tablet and slide it across the tablet. 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 Graphire 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.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 30
Contents
Index
PROXIMITY
The pen is activated as soon as it enters proximity above the tablet’s active area. This allows you to
position the screen cursor or use the side switch without touching the pen tip to the tablet. You can also
trace a drawing or photograph as long as the pen tip remains within proximity height.
Place a picture under the tablet overlay and try tracing it from within one of your graphics applications.
For the Graphire Pen, proximity is
about 5 mm (0.2 inch), average.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 31
Contents
Index
DRAWING WITH PRESSURE
The Graphire Pen responds to the nuance and inflection of 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. For example, in some drawing programs sliders are used to vary brush
characteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be controlled much better by the
Graphire Pen’s pressure-sensitivity. You can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with the
pressure you exert upon the pen.
To draw with pressure-sensitivity, select a pressure-sensitive tool from your application’s tool palette.
Draw along the surface of the tablet while applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of
the 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.
Visit our web site for a list of graphics applications that support pressure. See Product Inf
ormation.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 32
Contents
Index
ERASING
The eraser on the Graphire Pen works like the eraser on a pencil. In graphics applications that support
the pen’s eraser, you can erase intuitively and naturally. When you use the pen’s eraser, the application
will automatically switch to the eraser tool. You can also use the eraser in many standard office
applications. The eraser will not be pressure sensitive, but you can use it to select and delete text or
spreadsheet 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, see
Adjusting Er
aser Feel.
Visit our web site for a list of graphics applications that support the eraser (see Product Information). If the
eraser is not supported in an application, you can still use the eraser for navigating and drawing.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 33

Index
EYE-HAND COORDINATION EXERCISE
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 screen
cursor in P
en 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 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 Graphire Pen to draw a dot at each grid
intersection.
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, the
easier drawing and navigation will become.

USING THE GRAPHIRE CORDLESS MOUSE
The Graphire Cordless Mouse is batteryless and works on your Graphire tablet. By moving the Cordless
Mouse across the tablet’s active area, you can position the screen cursor like you do with a regular
mouse. The buttons are programmable, and the integrated fingerwheel is both a programmable middle
button and a rolling wheel for scrolling. By default, the rolling fingerwheel provides a line scrolling
capability in applications that are compatible with the Microsoft IntelliMouse wheel.
The left buttons is set to LEFT CLICK by default.
The right button is set to
RIGHT CLICK by default.
To learn how to program buttons, see Customizing the Graphire Cordless Mouse.
Integrated middle button and fingerwheel. By default,
the button function is set to MIDDLE CLICK and the
fingerwheel is set to SCROLL 3 lines per wheel notch.
Important:
When using
other pointing devices,
place the Graphire
Cordless Mouse on your
desk. Leaving a Graphire
tool on the tablet may
interfere with screen
cursor positioning when
using other pointing
devices.
Hint: For MS Office 97 and 2000
applications that support a wheel

CARING FOR YOUR TOOLS AND TABLET
Keep your Graphire tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your Graphire tools
and cause wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help prolong the life of
your tablet surface and Graphire tools. You can also use a very mild soap diluted with water. Do
not
use
volatile 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 is
best. Also, your Graphire tools and tablet are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case can break
the 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.
USING GRAPHIRE
Page 37
Contents
Index
REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The tip (nib) will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short or develops a flat point, you can
replace 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.
To order replacement parts, refer to P
arts and Accessories.
