NISIS Graphic Tablets Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
QUESTIONS
ANSWERS
When using the NISIS G4 Graphic Tablet with the
bundled software it comes with, the Pressure
sensitivity works fine, but it does not appear to work
when using it with Paintshop Pro v6.02. What am I
doing wrong?
The most likely problem is that the "Tools Options" in
the Paintshop Pro application, have not been set up
correctly. If you select the "Tools Options" window,
you need to "tick" the appropriate boxes next to :-
"Pressure Sensitive Tablet - Vary opacity, Vary color,
and/or Vary width".
My word processor is Microsoft's Word 2000. When
trying to load the Pensoft Application, Word97
Annotator, I get an error message saying "Can not find
Word97 in your computer, Word Annotator would not
work". Do you have a version that works with Word
2000 ?
Actually, despite the error message, if you continue
with the installation, you will find that this application
works perfectly well with Word 2000. We will try to fix
this misleading error message in the next release of the
software.
I am finding it difficult to understand how to connect
my G2/G4 Graphics Tablet to my PC. Do you have
any diagrams to help me, please ?
Yes. The latest G2 and G4 Installation Guides have
several diagrams that will help you with your
installation. You can read and download the manuals by
clicking on the "Manuals" button under the main index
on the NISIS web site.
Please explain what I can do with the Function keys at
the top of the Graphics tablet.
At the moment, if the particular application
programming you are using has enabled the Function
key "F1" to perform a particular function, such as
launch a Help file, then by pressing the pen onto the F1
area on the tablet, you can launch the applications Help
file.
None of the other Function keys are enabled on the
current version of the tablet drivers, but later versions of
tablet drivers may enable these function keys.
Please visit the NISIS web site regularly, to check for
later drivers.
What is the significance of the clear lift-up film
covering the active area of the Graphic Tablets?
You can place an image or photograph under this clear
film, and then use the pen to trace around the object you
wish to draw.
Where can I find more details on how to use the
Pensoft applications?
Visit the FAQs section on the NISIS Web site.
How do I install a new pen nib?
If your nylon pen nib wears out, you can replace it with
one of the two new pen nibs that came with the Graphic
Tablet by gripping the old pen nib with a pair of pliers
or other gripping tool, and gently pull the nib out of the
pen. You install the new pen nib by pushing it into the
pen.
