II.IV. Work area

1. Screen:

A diagram shows the driver interface for screen settings. If multiple monitors are used in duplicate mode (i.e., all monitors display the same picture), the work area of the device will be mapped to all monitors. When the pen moves in the work area, the cursor on all monitors will move at the same time. If multiple monitors are used in extended mode, select which monitor the device's work area is mapped to in the driver interface.

The driver provides three modes to set the display area of the screen:

• (1). Set full screen: Set the screen area of the selected monitor to the maximum.
• (2). Set screen area: Use the mouse to manually set the display area of the screen. Click the first position (top left) of the display area of the screen with the mouse, and then click the second position (bottom right).
• (3). Customize: Manually enter coordinates in the corresponding input boxes below X, Y, W, and H to customize the size of the display area of the screen, or use the mouse to drag on the screen icon of the driver interface to adjust the display area of the screen.

Calibrate: Calibrate the offset between the stylus and the cursor.

Show display number: Identify all connected monitors, and numeric identifiers will be displayed in the lower left corner of each monitor.

2. Pen Tablet/Pen Display:

A diagram shows the driver interface for pen tablet/display settings. This allows setting the active area of the device to be mapped as the display area of the screen. The driver provides four modes for selection:

• (1). Full tablet area: Maximize the active area of the device.
• (2). Tablet proportion: Scales the active area of the device to the entire display area of the selected monitor.
• (3). Set active area: Use the stylus to click the "upper left corner" position and the "lower right corner" position on the device to select its work area.
• (4). Customize: Manually enter coordinates in the corresponding input boxes below X, Y, W, and H to determine the size of the active area of the device, or use the stylus to drag on the device icon on the driver interface to set the size of the active area.

Rotation setting: You may set the device to 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°. After finishing the setting, you also need to rotate the device in the corresponding direction.

Display setting: Set the "color temperature", "Brightness", and "contrast" of the drawing monitor. A diagram shows color temperature adjustment options (5000K, 6500K, 7500K, 9300K, USER) and sliders for Red, Green, Blue, Brightness, and Contrast ratio.

3. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the interface, and the application just selected will be added to the application bar.

II.VI. Pen settings

Pen keys: Click the drop-down menu to "Customize" the pen button function. A diagram shows a dropdown for right-click and a customize button.

Notes: When the pen is within the range of the device's active area, singly click the key to switch the pen or eraser mode. After switching the mode, the current mode will be displayed at the bottom of your screen. Selecting "Use mouse control" and "input from keyboard" in the "customize" function allows you to customize functions of the combination key.

Mouse control: Set Shortcut keys. With the "Keyboard Shift" and "Left Click" selected, shortcut actions are enabled in software that supports such combination keys. A diagram shows various mouse control and shortcut key options.

Keyboard: You may configure keyboard shortcuts here, for example, set it as Alt+A in 3D MAX software, and an alignment tool can be used. A diagram shows a keyboard shortcut configuration area. You may set multiple sets of keyboard shortcut here. When you press the button on the pen, all the shortcuts functions you set will run again. The functions displayed in the red box will be different upon different devices. Other options include Disable, Show driver panel, Switch monitor, Precision mode, Pen/Eraser, Switch roller function, Switch touch function, and Switch touch mode.

Precision mode: Precision mode is to limit the active area of the device to a certain area. This function may allow you to create more detailed drawings.

Pressure adjustment: The sensitivity of pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the "output" and "pen pressure" curve or moving the slider on the progress bar. Current pressure can test your current pen pressure. A diagram illustrates pressure settings.

Mouse mode: The mouse uses the absolute mode by default. Check this to use the relative mode. After selecting it, you can adjust the speed of the cursor. Absolute coordinate (pen mode): Map the active area to the display area. Relative coordinate (mouse mode): The operation method of this mode is the same as that of a normal mouse. A diagram shows a slider for mouse mode speed.

Windows Ink: Some drawing software can support Windows Ink pen pressure, and you can select or cancel "Windows Ink" to open or close this function which is opened by default.
