The side switch does not
work.
Be sure you press the side switch when the pen tip is within 6 mm (0.25
inch) of the tablet’s active area – do this without pressing down on the pen
tip.
From the Wacom Tablet control panel, verify that the side switch is set to the
function you are expecting to occur for the application and tool that you are
using. Verify also that the S
IDE
S
WITCH
E
XPERT
M
ODE
option is deselected.
(This option is accessed by clicking on the control panel O
PTIONS
... button.)
Make sure the tablet status LED changes from blue to green when you
press the side switch. If it does not, you may have defective hardware (see
testing your tools).
The screen cursor jumps
back.
Do not place an Intuos3 tool on the tablet when it is not in use, or when you
are using another pointing device. Leaving your tool on the tablet may
interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other input devices.
Cannot move the cursor
where you want to on the
screen, or the line you are
drawing does not line up
with the location of the
pointer in paint
applications.
Open the Wacom Tablet control panel and go to the M
APPING
tab. Verify that
P
EN
mode is selected and that the S
CREEN
A
REA
is set to F
ULL
for the
selected tool and application. If this does not help, click on the D
EFAULT
button to reestablish tablet to screen mapping. If you are still having
difficulty, remove the tablet preferences (see next tip).
You suspect the tablet
preferences may be
corrupted, or want to make
certain that all settings are
at their factory defaults.
