CUSTOMIZE YOUR PEN EXPERIENCE

You can easily customize the pen. Use the pen to open the tablet control panel. You can then customize 
your tablet for the way you like to interact with your tablet and computer when using the pen or eraser 
(when equipped).

Note:  If you have more than one pen (for example, a standard pen and a premium pen), any changes you 

make to the pen settings will apply to both pens. 

Setting the pen button functions

Setting the tip and eraser feel,
