USING GRAPHIRE2Page 18ContentsIndexPOINTINGThe Graphire2 Pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursortwo different ways, like a pen (Pen Mode) or like a mouse (Mouse Mode).• In Pen Mode, the tablet’s active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen where everypoint on the tablet’s active area corresponds to exactly one point on the display screen; wherever youplace the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. Thisis the default setting for the Graphire2 Pen, and makes tracing possible—something you cannot dowith a mouse.• In Mouse Mode (the default position for the Graphire2 Cordless Mouse), you move the cursor with a“pick up and roll” action similar to using a mouse.Try moving the screen cursor by lifting the Graphire2 Pen and placing it in a new location on the tablet.The cursor instantly jumps to the new location.Learning Hint: If you are used toworking with a mouse and find thatusing a pen is somewhat difficult, trythe Eye-Hand Coordination Exercise.Pointing Hint: Pointing is easier whenyou orient the tablet so the screen cursorfollows the same direction as your handmovements on the tablet.As the pen enters Proximity, the tablet senses the penabove the tablet surface. You do not need to touch thetablet with the pen tip in order to move the screen cursor.
