Interactive pen display
TESTING YOUR PEN
If the pen does not work as you expect, it is a good idea to first check the assigned functions or reset the
pen to its default conditions. A quick way to reset a pen to its default settings is to remove it from the T
OOL
list by clicking on the list’s [ – ] button. After the pen has been removed, place it back onto the display
screen surface and the pen will be re-added to the T
OOL
list with its default settings.
Open the Wacom Control Panel and click on the A
BOUT
button. In the dialog box that appears, click on the
D
IAGNOSE
... button to open the D
IAGNOSTICS
dialog box. The D
IAGNOSTICS
dialog box displays dynamic
information about the interactive pen display and pen. This information is used when testing the pen
display and your pen.
If more than one pen display unit is connected to your system, be sure to select the unit for which you are
testing in the T

I
NFO
column.
Note: If the pen switch is set to R
