USING THE GRIP PEN
The cordless, battery-free Grip Pen senses the amount of pressure and tilt you apply to the pen.
There are four basic techniques for using the pen on the active area of the tablet: pointing, clicking, double-
clicking, and dragging. If you are unfamiliar with using the pen, try the exercises on the following pages.
Note: For Intuos5 tablets that support both pen input and touch, the pen disengages touch whenever the
pen tip or eraser is within the tablet proximity range. Lift the pen and your hand away from the tablet
active area to enable touch.
If you experience unintended touch actions, manually disable touch by pressing an ExpressKey set
