WORKING WITH THE TABLET
The middle area of the tablet is the working, or active, area for the pen and cordless mouse. Rest your hand
on the tablet and then work with the pen on the active area of the tablet just as if you were using a ball point
pen on a piece of paper. Wherever you place your pen on the tablet active area, the screen cursor will jump
to the corresponding point on the screen. See using the cordless pen and using the cordless mouse for
more information.
Your tablet also features a customizable Touch Ring and ExpressKeys for frequently used functions.
Touch Ring. Slide your finger over
the Touch Ring to zoom or scroll.
By default the Touch Ring is set for
zoom functionality.
•

functions.
ExpressKeys. Press the customizable
ExpressKeys to perform frequently used functions
or keystrokes, or to emulate button clicks or modifier
keys.
ExpressKeys can be used separately or in
combination with your Bamboo Fun pen.
For example, you can set a pair of keys to
commonly used keystrokes, such as [ and ] to
decrease and increase your brush size in
Photoshop. In this manner you can change the
properties of your pen as you work without
removing your hands from the tablet.
By default, the upper keys are set to move
F
ORWARD
(right key) or B
ACK
(left key) within your
Internet browser.
On Windows Vista systems the lower left button
defaults to J
OURNAL
when the Journal application is
available. Otherwise, the button is set to S

D
ESKTOP

For the lower right button, the default condition is
