4.1 Using the Digital Pen

The Wacom Digital Pen is battery-free and offers 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, allowing for precise control over line thickness and opacity in compatible software.

• Drawing and Writing: Hold the pen like a regular pen or pencil. The tip acts as your mouse cursor.
• Pen Buttons: The pen typically features two programmable buttons. These can be customized via the Wacom Tablet Properties software to perform functions like right-click, scroll, or modifier keys.
• Hovering: Move the pen tip close to the tablet surface without touching it to move the cursor without clicking.

The Wacom Tablet Properties software (installed with the drivers) allows you to personalize your tablet experience:

• Pen Sensitivity: Adjust the pressure response curve to match your drawing style.
• Button Functions: Assign different functions to the pen buttons.
• Mapping: Define the active area of the tablet and how it maps to your screen(s).

5. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Wacom ONE Medium tablet:

• Cleaning the Tablet: Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the tablet surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Pen Nibs: The pen nibs will wear down over time. Replace them when they become too short or sharp to maintain a smooth drawing experience. Replacement nibs are typically available from Wacom's official website or authorized retailers.
• Storage: When not in use, store the tablet and pen in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on the tablet.

If you encounter issues with your Wacom ONE Medium, try the following solutions:

• Tablet Not Recognized:

  • Try connecting the tablet to a different USB port.
  • Verify that the Wacom drivers are correctly installed and up to date. Reinstall them if necessary.
  • Restart your computer.
• Pen Not Working or No Pressure Sensitivity:
  • Check if the pen nib is properly inserted and not excessively worn.
  • Ensure the Wacom Tablet Properties software is running and the pen is recognized.
  • If your pen requires a battery (some models do, though the CTL-672-S pen is typically passive), ensure it is correctly inserted and charged. The product specifications mention '1 A batteries required', which may refer to the pen.
  • Reinstall the Wacom drivers.
• Cursor Jumps or Is Inaccurate:
  • Ensure there are no electronic devices causing interference near the tablet.
