PEN TABLET TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter problems with the tablet portion of the interactive pen display, see the following tables. 
Your problem may be described here, and you can try the solution offered. For additional information, visit 
Wacom’s web site at http://www.wacom.com/support.

GENERAL PROBLEMS 

The computer does not have 
an available USB port.

If a USB port is not available on your computer you will need to add a 
USB hub or USB card. However, Wacom recommends using USB ports 
on your computer instead of a USB hub whenever possible.

The pen works only in mouse 
mode, and does not draw or 
write with pressure sensitivity.

The driver software for the tablet portion of the pen display was not 
installed or did not load properly.

Make sure the driver software is installed and functioning.

Install the driver software in accordance with the instructions found in 
the 

installation

 section of this manual.

The pen does not draw or 
write with pressure sensitivity.

Some applications require that you turn on the pressure capabilities 
within the application or selected tool before the pen will respond as a 
pressure-sensitive tool.

Verify that your application supports pressure sensitivity.

Clicking is difficult.
