THE TOUCH EXPERIENCE WITH BAMBOO
Bamboo is designed to enhance the way you work. Touch input enables you to interact with a computer
using only your fingertips on the Bamboo tablet.
First learn the basic actions to navigate and perform typical mouse operations. Then learn the gestural
movements to control other functions such as scrolling, zooming, and rotating.
Touch input is activated whenever you touch the tablet
.
•
When using multi-finger input methods, you can generally position your fingers as far apart as is
comfortable. Your fingers must remain within the active area. However, placing your fingers too closely
together may be interpreted by the tablet as input from a single finger, or the tablet may confuse which
finger initiated or performed an action or gesture.
•
As you learn the different input methods, experiment with what works best for you. Take care to prevent
accidental touch input. For example, if your small finger or the palm of your hand touches the active
area of the tablet while you are navigating or performing a touch action, then your input may be
interrupted or you may trigger an unanticipated right-click.
Note: For tablet models that support both pen and touch input, the pen disengages touch input whenever
the pen tip or eraser is within the tablet
. Lift the pen and your hand away from the
tablet active area to enable touch input.
