Operating the Tablet
The Monoprice 110594 tablet is designed for intuitive use with various graphic design and art applications.
- Active Drawing Area: Use the stylus pen directly on the 10 x 6.25-inch active surface for input. The tablet translates pen movements and pressure into digital input on your screen.
- Pressure Sensitivity: The 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity allow for varying line thickness and opacity based on how hard you press the stylus. Adjust sensitivity settings in the tablet's driver software for personalized control.
- Express Keys: The tablet features eight user-assignable Express Keys located on the left side of the drawing area. These keys can be programmed to perform specific keystroke combinations, launch applications, open web pages, send email, or emulate mouse functions.
- Hot Cells: Sixteen user-assignable Hot Cells are positioned along the upper edge of the drawing surface. Like Express Keys, these can be customized for various shortcuts and functions to streamline your workflow.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the tablet surface and stylus pen. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Stylus Nibs: The stylus pen uses replaceable nibs. If the nib becomes worn, replace it with a new one. Spare nibs are typically stored within the pen stand.
- Storage: When not in use, store the tablet and stylus in a safe place to prevent damage.
