SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
To minimize fatigue, comfortably organize your work area. Position your tablet, input tools, and keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. Position your monitor so you can view it with a minimum of eyestrain. For best results, position the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
• Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles.
• Use a gentle grip when working with your tools.
• Alternate tasks and tools throughout the day.
• Maintain a good posture at all times. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that cause discomfort.
• Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
For right-handed use, position the tablet so the drawing (active) area is located to the right of the
ExpressKeys. For left-handed use, position the tablet with the drawing area to the left of the ExpressKeys.
See configuring the tablet orientation for details.
Note: Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or prevent, in whole or in part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions. Individual results may vary. Always obtain competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation.

USING THE GRIP PEN
There are four basic techniques for using the pressure-sensitive 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.
Drawing with pressure sensitivity
Eye-hand coordination exercise
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the Grip Pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press the switch while drawing or navigating with the pen. Tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Position for drawing and navigating
Place the pen stand within easy reach of your tablet. The stand allows for vertical or horizontal placement of the pen.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser.
Leaving an Intuos4 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer from going to sleep.
Position for erasing
12
POINTING
The Intuos4 pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen.
Move the screen cursor by lifting the pen and placing the pen tip in a new location on the tablet active area. The cursor instantly jumps to the new location.
See
understanding the tablet active area
.
13
To select an icon or folder, use your pen to position the screen cursor over the object.
Press down to select.
Hints:
• If you find that using a pen is somewhat
difficult, try the eye-hand coordination exercise .
• Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
You can position the screen cursor two different ways: like a pen ( P
) or like a mouse (
).
• In P
EN
mode, the tablet active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen; wherever you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to a corresponding point on the display screen.
This is the default setting for the pen.
• In M
OUSE
mode, the default setting for the Intuos4 Mouse, you move the cursor with a “pick up and slide” action similar to using a traditional mouse.
When using the pen, the pen tip needs to be within 10 mm (0.39 inch) of the tablet surface. The pen tip does not need to touch the tablet in order to move the screen cursor or use the side switch.
All Intuos4 tools, including the Intuos4 Mouse, work only over the active area of the tablet.
10 mm (0.39 inch)
13
CLICKING
Click to highlight or select something on the screen. Double-click to open it.
Clicking. Tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to register a click.
(There is no audible pen tip “click” sound.)
Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip. The folder should highlight when you press.
14
Hint: You can configure Windows to select when the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click.
To turn on this feature, first open a folder.

Double-clicking. Quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip.
This is like clicking twice with a mouse button. Try double-clicking on a folder icon to open it.
Hint: Press the upper side switch to double-click. This is easier than tapping twice with the pen tip.
DRAGGING
To drag, first point to an object. Then press the pen tip to the tablet and slide it across the tablet surface. The selected object will move across the monitor or display screen.
To select text within a document, move the screen cursor to the beginning of a text line, then drag the pen across the tablet to highlight the text.
14
15
USING THE SIDE SWITCH
The DuoSwitch on the Intuos4 Grip Pen has two programmable
that can be selected by rocking the switch in either direction.
Note: You can use the DuoSwitch whenever the pen tip is within 10 mm (0.39 inch) of the tablet active area – you do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use the switch.
The default switch positions are:
Upper: D
OUBLE
C
LICK
Lower: R
IGHT

Double-clicking. Press the upper side switch to double-click.
This is easier than tapping twice with the pen tip.
Right-clicking. Press the lower pen switch to bring up application-specific or icon-specific menus.

16
DRAWING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
The Intuos4 pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes. Many graphics applications have drawing tools that respond to the pressure you place on the pen.
tools in Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007 also respond to the pressure you place on the pen.
To draw with pressure sensitivity, first select a pressure-sensitive tool from your application’s tool palette. Then draw along the surface of the tablet while applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of the pen.
Press hard for thick lines or dense color, and press gently for thin lines or softer color.
To adjust the tip feel, see adjusting tip feel and double-click .
Visit our web site for a list of applications that support pressure. See
DRAWING WITH TILT
The tablet recognizes when you tilt the pen from vertical to inclined positions. In some drawing applications, tilt can be used to control line shape and thickness. This is like working with an airbrush where tilt can be used to make a line thin when the tool is vertical, or wide when the tool is tilted. In other applications, you can adjust tilt to define brush characteristics such as width, color, and opacity.
To test tilt, draw a curve in a graphics application (such as Painter) that supports tilt. Be sure the tilt function in your application is active, then change the tilt of the pen as you draw to vary the shape and thickness of the brush stroke.
As an example, when the brush shape dynamics in Adobe Photoshop have been configured for tilt operation, tilting the pen results in an elongated pattern.
This simulates the effects of an airbrush spray that is angled away from the paint surface.
To adjust the amount of pen tilt required to produce a desired tilt effect in your
application, see customizing tilt sensitivity
.
Visit our web site for a list of applications
that support tilt. See product information
.
16
ERASING
The Intuos4 pen eraser works like the eraser on a pencil.
You can erase intuitively and naturally in graphics applications that support the pen eraser. When you use the pen eraser, the application will automatically switch to the eraser tool.
In applications that support pressure sensitivity, you can select pressuresensitive tools in the application’s tool palette to vary the width and depth of your erasures as you change the amount of pressure you exert upon the pen.
See
adjusting eraser feel for more
information.
For Microsoft Windows Vista and Office
2007, you can use the eraser to erase
notes or sketches made with digital ink ,
and to select and delete text or spreadsheet cells within an application.
17
Visit our web site for a list of applications that support the eraser (see product information
). If the eraser is not supported in an application, you can still use the eraser for navigating, drawing, or annotation.
EYE-HAND COORDINATION EXERCISE
This exercise is designed to retrain your eye-hand coordination for using the pen:
1.
Open any graphics application. Use the line tool to draw a rectangular grid with line spacings of about
20-25 mm (3/4 to 1 inch). You can use your traditional mouse to do this.
2. Choose a free-hand tool in your application and use the pen to draw a dot at each grid intersection.
3. Draw an X at each grid intersection.
4. Now draw a circle around each intersection. Your screen should look like this:
5. Clear your screen and make a simple drawing of your own. The more you use your pen, the easier drawing and navigation will become.

WORKING WITH MULTIPLE TOOLS
The Wacom Tablet control panel is designed to help you customize and keep track of your Intuos4 tool settings. The tool you use to open the control panel is automatically selected, and the appropriate tabs for that tool are displayed.
Each Intuos4 tool has a Tool ID that makes it unique. Any custom settings apply only to the specific tool for which they were made. Identical Intuos4 tools appear as numbered devices. The selected tool is highlighted.
The T
OOL
list displays an icon for the tablet
F
UNCTIONS
and for each
Intuos4 tool that has been used on the tablet.
If application-specific settings have not been added, the A
LL
icon is displayed and the tool settings apply to all applications.
Tab settings apply only to the selected tool and application.
Removes the selected tool.
The button is inactive when there is only one item in the list.
The F
UNCTIONS icon cannot be deleted.
Tip: You can rename any tool by double-clicking on the tool’s icon and entering a new name. You cannot rename the F
UNCTIONS
icon.
To add a tool to the control panel’s T
OOL
list, simply use the tool on your Intuos4 tablet.
• When a new tool is first placed on the tablet it will function with the appropriate default settings for that tool, and not the custom settings of other tools – even if they are identical devices. If the Wacom Tablet control panel is open, the tool is automatically added to the T
OOL
list and you can customize the tool by changing the tab settings.
• When you select a tool that you have added to the T
OOL
list, the appropriate tab settings for that tool are displayed. Any changes you make to the tab settings will then apply to that tool. Your changes take effect immediately.
To remove a selected tool from the T
OOL
list, click on the T
OOL
list’s [ – ] button. In the dialog box that appears, click D
ELETE
to confirm your selection. The selected tool is removed from the list, along with any custom settings you may have created for it. (A removed tool can be added back to the T
OOL
list by placing it back onto the tablet.)
50
51
APPLICATION-SPECIFIC SETTINGS
You can customize your Intuos4 tools for use with a particular application. For example, you may prefer a firm pen tip pressure setting in one application and a soft pressure setting in another. The A
PPLICATION
list enables you to add an individual application to the list and then customize your tool settings for that application.
• When no application-specific settings have been created and a tool is selected from the T
OOL
list, the
A
PPLICATION
list displays the A
LL
icon which contains tool settings that apply to all of your applications.
In the example below, no application-specific settings have been added for the M
OUSE
– the A
LL
icon is displayed and the M
OUSE
will have the same settings in all applications.
• When application-specific settings are added to the A
PPLICATION
list, the A
LL
icon changes to A
LL
O
THER
, and an application icon is displayed for the newly added application(s).
In the above example, application-specific settings have been added for the G
RIP
P
EN
. If you select the
A
LL
O
THER
icon and make changes to the tab settings, your changes will apply to the G
RIP
P
EN
in all applications except those which you have added to the A
PPLICATION
list. If you select an application icon and make changes to the tab settings, your changes will apply to the G
RIP
P
EN
only while you are using that application.
When you create application-specific settings, you are creating a separate group of settings for the selected tool and application. See the following sections for more details:
Creating an application-specific setting
Changing application-specific settings
Removing application-specific settings
Hint: To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an

TROUBLESHOOTING
Most of the time your tablet will work flawlessly. But if you are having trouble, Wacom recommends you do the following:
1.
If the Wacom tablet driver failed to load properly, first perform the recommended action in any error message that may appear on your screen. If that does not solve the problem, review the troubleshooting procedures in this chapter.
2. Look in the
troubleshooting tables . Your problem may be described there and you can try the solution
offered.
3. Open the Wacom tablet Read Me file for any information updates.
4. Test your tablet and input tools. See testing your tablet
5. If you are having a compatibility conflict between Intuos4 and a new hardware or software
product, see obtaining driver downloads
for information on downloading an updated software driver.
Wacom periodically updates the software driver to maintain compatibility with new products.
6. Check the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on the Wacom web site for your region.
7.
If you have tried the suggestions in this manual and still cannot resolve the problem, then contact Wacom for Technical Support. See
technical support options and the Read Me file for information on where to
obtain support for your region.
54
55
TESTING YOUR TABLET
1.
Turn on your computer and wait until the system has fully loaded.
2. Check the tablet connection. A tablet status LED will light whenever the tablet is properly connected and your computer has registered it as a USB device. If an LED is on, continue with step 3.
If an LED does not glow when the computer is on and the system has fully loaded, then:
• Make sure the tablet USB cable is securely connected to the tablet and to an active USB port on your computer. Intuos4 requires that you connect to a primary USB port (located directly on your computer) or to a powered USB hub.
• If you are connecting the tablet to a powered USB hub, be sure the USB hub is properly connected to your computer and is active.
• Connect the tablet to a different powered USB port or try connecting to the powered USB port on another computer.
• If a tablet LED does not illuminate after your computer is on and has finished booting up, your USB port may be disabled. Verify that you have connected the tablet to an active USB port.
Note: For best results when troubleshooting no power to the tablet (a status LED does not light), plug the tablet directly into the system USB port located on your computer. Temporarily eliminate any external hubs in use until you determine that the system recognizes the tablet and that it is functional. When the tablet is working properly, it is usually okay to then move the tablet to a powered USB hub.
3. Check the Grip Pen.
• Move your pen across the tablet active area; the screen cursor should move in the corresponding direction on your monitor or display screen.
• Press the pen tip against the surface of the tablet. A status LED should brighten.
• Next, without applying pressure to the pen tip, hold the pen tip within approximately 10 mm
(0.39 inch) of the tablet surface and press the side switch. The LED should again brighten.
• Turn the pen over and press the eraser against the surface of the tablet; the LED should brighten.
•
for detailed information.
4. Check the Touch Ring. See testing your tools
.
5. Check the ExpressKeys. See testing your tools
.
6. Check the Intuos4 Mouse and any other tool(s). See testing your tools .
7.
If these tests fail, you may have a defective input tool or tablet. See

CARING FOR YOUR TABLET AND TOOLS
Keep your Intuos4 tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your tools and cause excessive wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help to prolong the life of your tablet surface and tools; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, because they may damage the plastic case.
Keep your tablet and tools in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best. Also, your tools and tablet are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case can break the pen.
Taking apart the product will void your warranty.
Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the tablet or input tools. Be especially careful of getting the tablet or tool buttons (including the pen tip and eraser) wet – they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.
68
69
REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. Replace the nib when it gets too short – less than 1 mm (0.04 inch) – or develops a flat point.
1.
Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib extraction tool and replacement nibs.
Nib extractor
Replacement nibs
• 5 standard nibs, black
• 1 flex nib, white and black
• 1 stroke nib, white
• 3 hard felt nibs, gray
2. Clasp the old nib with the nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.
Pen nib
1 mm (0.04 inch) or less.
3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with the
Intuos4 pen or Airbrush. They are installed in the same manner as a standard pen nib.
Warning: Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
To order replacement parts, see available parts and accessories
.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. When the optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest on their tip or eraser.

OPTIMIZING THE EXPRESSKEYS DISPLAY
The pen tablet ExpressKeys display uses Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Although the display has been designed to provide reliable performance for many years, you may eventually notice a decrease in luminosity for pixels that are lit over extended periods of time. To minimize the appearance of different pixel brightnesses due to this effect, adjust the E
XPRESS
K
EY
D
ISPLAY
B
RIGHTNESS
option to the lowest comfortable light level. See
for details.
Note: The power saving feature of the pen tablet will automatically dim the ExpressKeys display if there has been no user input for 3 minutes, and it will turn off the display if the pen tablet has been idle for 6 minutes.
USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROL
Some software applications may be designed to directly control the pen tablet ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function(s). When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or
Touch Ring may perform a different function than what is currently set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.
• When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKeys display will automatically update to show either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys may be overridden, depending on the application.
• When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application overrides only one, two, or three of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set to S
KIP
.
• An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring only when that application is active and in the foreground. When you close that application (or select a new application pane to work in), your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.
• To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an
ExpressKey to S
HOW
S
ETTINGS
and press the key at any time.
Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to opt-out or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom pen tablet with the application. See the documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to customize or disable this feature.
If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation does not describe how to disable this behavior, you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings which will override the behavior of the integrated application.
See application-specific settings for information on creating application-specific settings.
Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an
ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to A
PPLICATION
D
EFINED
will allow the integrated application to control the function.
73
74
USING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PEN
The optional Intuos4 Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional degree of control.
With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example, tilting the Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel adjusts the spray intensity, and pressure on the tip controls the brush size.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location for you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to paint and draw with pressure sensitivity.

The Art Pen supports 360 degrees of rotation around the pen axis. As you draw within an application that supports rotation sensitivity, simply twist the Art Pen to create lines that narrow or broaden.
For example, while painting you can vary the rotation of a non-circular brush to change the stroke thickness.
Depending on the brush shape characteristics you have selected in your application, you can simulate calligraphy pens, broad felt tip markers, and any other non-circular brushes or tools.
Replaceable nib
Important: When the Airbrush or Art Pen is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an
Intuos4 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices.

CONFIGURING TABLET MENUS AND SCREEN POINTING AREAS IN AUTOCAD
A screen pointing area is a rectangular region on the tablet surface where the tablet acts like a system mouse. When the pointer is within a screen pointing area, the tablet can access windows, menus, and other applications outside AutoCAD’s drawing area. You can configure both a fixed and floating screen pointing area.
Before you configure the tablet, its entire surface is the fixed screen pointing area. AutoCAD recommends changing the size of the fixed screen pointing area so that a small screen area on your tablet maps to the entire monitor screen. AutoCAD also recommends selecting the default tablet menus, columns, and rows they provide.
After you configure the tablet menus, AutoCAD prompts you for the fixed and floating screen pointing areas.
This allows you to designate a tablet area as a Windows system pointer.
The fixed screen pointing area is disabled when you digitize points into AutoCAD with T
ABLET
M
ODE
O
N
.
This is due to the fixed correspondence between the tablet and AutoCAD’s drawing area. To access menus from the tablet, you must use the floating screen pointing area. This allows you to access a menu from anywhere on the tablet surface, and to toggle it off when finished. You can define a tool button to toggle the floating screen area on and off.
Important: The floating screen pointing area takes precedence over menu areas, T

, open the T
OOLS
menu (O
PTIONS
menu for Release 13).
2. Choose the T

options, then:
• Digitize point #1 on the paper drawing. Then enter the xy coordinate from the paper drawing at the digitized point.
• Digitize point #2 on the paper drawing. Then enter the xy coordinate from the paper drawing at the digitized point.
• Digitize more points if necessary. More than four points may take more time than expected for
AutoCAD to compute the best-fitting projective transformation.
3. Press E

AVAILABLE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Intuos4 Grip Pen (KP-501E). Sensitive to pressure and tilt, the Grip Pen is an all-purpose tool for drawing, erasing, and mouse operations. The easy-to-use DuoSwitch gives you two programmable switch functions. The pressure-sensitive pen has an ergonomic, waisted and rubberized grip area, optimum weight and balance, and superior tip sensitivity, making it the most natural freehand tool.
Intuos4 Mouse (KC-100). Cordless and battery free, the five button mouse is an ideal tool for performing any task you may have done previously with a standard mouse. It includes an integrated middle button and rolling fingerwheel that can be used for up and down scrolling, or the button can be programmed for a variety of other actions.
Intuos4 Airbrush (KP-400E). A true digital airbrush, the pressure-sensitive
incorporates a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, tilt sensitivity, and a fingerwheel that provides an additional degree of control over the application of digital paint.
Intuos4 Inking Pen (KP-130). This pressure- and tilt-sensitive drawing pen was created to provide immediate feedback at your pen tip on the drawing as well as on your computer screen. The pressure-sensitive Inking Pen comes with inking cartridges and two polyacetal tips for inkless drawing. It has a pressure-sensitive tip, but no eraser and no side switches.
Note: When you purchase an Inking Pen, it comes with a polyacetal nib in the pen. Use the nib extractor (silver ring) to gently remove the polyacetal nib from the pen. Then insert one of the silver-colored cartridges that come with the Inking Pen. The cartridge tip has a waxy coating that you will need to rub off before you can begin inking.
Intuos4 Art Pen (KP-701E). This specialty pen provides 360 degrees of barrel rotation and, like the Intuos4 Grip Pen, is pressure and tilt sensitive. Combining these features with a unique chisel-shaped nib makes the Intuos4 Art Pen the most realistic tool for emulating brushes, markers, and calligraphic pens.
Intuos4 Classic Pen (KP-300E). This pen has the same feature set as the Intuos4 Grip Pen, but with a slimmer profile that does not include a rubberized grip.
Intuos4 Lens Cursor (ZC-210). Compatible with Intuos4 L and XL tablet models only, the lens cursor is a precise coordinate position input tool. It is ideal for digitizing drawings, for
CAD processes, or for vector design applications where the precise input of coordinate information is critical. The moveable lens can be swung from left to right for comfortable positioning while you work.
