Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

No Signal / Display Not Turning On:
- Ensure all cables are securely connected to both the tablet and your computer/power source.
- Verify that your computer's display settings are configured to extend or duplicate the display to the Kamvas 22.
- If using a USB-C to USB-C cable, ensure your device supports USB3.1 GEN1 and DP1.2. Try connecting the power adapter to the tablet if the single USB-C cable isn't providing enough power.
Stylus Not Responding / Incorrect Pressure:
- Reinstall the latest drivers from the HUION website.
- Calibrate the stylus in the HUION driver settings.
- Check if the stylus nib is worn out and replace it if necessary.
macOS Compatibility Issues:
- Some macOS versions may have compatibility issues with external USB devices. Ensure your macOS is updated and check the HUION website for specific driver updates or troubleshooting steps for your macOS version.
- Adjust security and privacy settings in macOS to allow the HUION driver to function correctly.
Screen Scratches:
- The anti-glare film is designed to be replaceable. If scratches appear on the film, it can be replaced without damaging the underlying screen. Ensure stylus nibs are smooth and not overly sharp to prevent premature wear.
