OPTIMIZING THE EXPRESSKEYS DISPLAY
The pen tablet ExpressKeys display uses Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Although the display has
been designed to provide reliable performance for many years, you may eventually notice a decrease in
luminosity for pixels that are lit over extended periods of time. To minimize the appearance of different pixel
brightnesses due to this effect, adjust the E

option to the lowest comfortable
light level. See
for details.
Note:
The power saving feature of the pen tablet will automatically dim the ExpressKeys display if there has
been no user input for 5 minutes, and it will turn off the display if the pen tablet has been idle for 10 minutes.
USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROL
Some software applications may be designed to directly control the pen tablet ExpressKeys or Touch Ring
function(s). When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or
Touch Ring may perform a different function than what is currently set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.
•
When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKeys display will automatically update
to show either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys may be
overridden, depending on the application.
•
When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application
overrides only one, two, or three of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set
to S

.
•
An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring only when that application is active
and in the foreground. When you close that application (or select a new application pane to work in),
your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.
•
To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an
ExpressKey to S

and press the key at any time.
Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to opt-out
or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom pen tablet with the application. See the
documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to customize
or disable this feature.
If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation does not describe how to disable this behavior,
you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings which will override the
behavior of the integrated application.

Important:
If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an
