WORKING WITH INTUOS3

This section introduces you to the Intuos3 professional pen tablet. Intuos3 consists of a tablet that serves as your work area and the Intuos3 input tools you use on the tablet. The quickest way to learn about Intuos3 is to become familiar with its appearance and features. If you are new to using a pen tablet, read the following sections to learn about your Intuos3 tools and how to use them with the tablet. Note: Intuos3 tools will only work on an Intuos3 tablet. They will not work on an Intuos or Intuos2 series tablet. Likewise, older Intuos or Intuos2 input tools will not work on your Intuos3 tablet.

Intuos3 input tools

Various input tools are available for your tablet. All Intuos3 tools are cordless, battery-free, and ergonomically designed. Each tool also features a unique Tool ID, which enables you to work with multiple tools and to customize each tool differently. The Intuos3 Grip Pen is a pressure-sensitive freehand tool for image editing and creating natural-looking pen and brush strokes. If you prefer to use a mouse for general navigation, pointing, and clicking, just set aside your Intuos3 pen and place the Intuos3 mouse on the tablet the mouse is cordless and symmetrically designed so you can use it just as easily in your left or right hand.

Dragging

Dragging is used to select and move objects on the screen. To drag, rst 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 screen. To select text, move the screen cursor to the beginning of a text line, then drag the pen across the tablet until the text is highlighted.
First, try moving an icon on the screen. Then, within a document, select some text by pressing and dragging the pen tip across the text.

Using the side switch

The Intuos3 Grip Pen is equipped with a DuoSwitch. This switch has two programmable functions that can be selected by rocking the switch in either direction. You can use the DuoSwitch whenever the pen tip is within 6 mm (0.25 inch) of the tablets active area. You do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use the switch.
The upper switch position is set to DOUBLE CLICK, and the lower switch is set to RIGHT CLICK by default.
Hint: Press the upper side switch to double-click. This is easier than tapping twice with the pen tip. Use a right-click to bring up application-specic or icon-specic menus. Note: The DuoSwitch on the Grip Pen can be removed if you do not need the switch functionality. See other parts and accessories for information on ordering an alternate pen grip for use with the side switch removed.
To assign new switch functions, see customizing tool buttons.
Drawing with pressure-sensitivity
The Intuos3 pen responds to the nuance and inection of 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. For example, in some drawing programs sliders are used to vary brush characteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be controlled much better by the pens pressure-sensitivity you can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with the pressure you exert upon the pen.
To draw with pressure-sensitivity, rst select a pressuresensitive tool from your applications 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. Press gently for thin lines or softer color. To adjust the tip feel, see adjusting tip feel and doubleclick. Visit our web site for a list of graphics applications that support pressure. See product information.

Working with multiple tools
The Wacom Tablet control panel is designed to help you customize and keep track of your Intuos3 tool settings. The tool you use to open the control panel is automatically selected, and the appropriate tabs for that tool are displayed.
Each Intuos3 tool has a Tool ID that makes it unique. Any custom settings apply only to the specic tool for which they were made. Identical Intuos3 tools will appear as numbered devices. The selected tool is highlighted.
The TOOL list displays an icon for the tablet FUNCTIONS and for each Intuos3 tool that has been used on the tablet. If application-specic settings have not been added, the ALL icon is displayed and the tool settings apply to all applications.
Tab settings apply only to the selected tool and application.

Tip: You can give each tool a different name by double-clicking on the tools icon and entering a new name. For example, Drawing Pen or Paint Brush. You cannot rename the FUNCTIONS icon.
To add a tool to the control panels TOOL list, simply use the tool on your Intuos3 tablet. When a new tool is placed on the tablet for the rst time, 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 TOOL list and you can customize the tool by changing the tab settings. When you select a tool that you have added to the TOOL 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 TOOL list, click on the TOOL lists [ ] button. In the dialog box that appears, click DELETE to conrm your selection.

Note: The FUNCTIONS icon cannot be removed from the TOOL list.
You may wish to customize a tool for use with a particular application. For example, you may want a rm pen tip pressure setting in one application and a soft pressure setting in another. The APPLICATION list enables you to add an individual application to the list and then customize your tool settings for that application. When no application-specic settings have been created and a tool is selected from the TOOL list, the APPLICATION list displays the ALL icon containing tool settings that apply to all of your applications. In the example below, no application-specic settings have been added for the Intuos3 mouse so the ALL icon is displayed and the mouse will have the same settings in all applications.

The computer does not go to sleep. When using the tablet the screen cursor is very erratic or jumps around. The Intuos3 pen does not work on the tablet Touch Strip.
When you are not using your Intuos3 input tool(s), remove them from the tablet surface or the tablet will continue to send data, keeping the computer awake. On rare occasions the tablet may receive interfering radio frequencies from a computer monitor or nearby AM radio station. If you notice interference from a monitor, try moving the tablet at least 6 inches away from the monitor, or change the monitor refresh rate or monitor resolution. Remember that the pen is active in a narrow band along the Touch Strip edge closest to the tablets active area.

Windows-specic problems

After changing right- and left- handed settings in the computers mouse control panel, the pen tip no longer functions properly and Intuos3 mouse tool button functions are reversed. This action will reverse the right and left button settings on your Wacom tools. Restart Windows for your Wacom tool settings to be correctly recognized.

Caring for your tablet and tools
Keep your Intuos3 tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your tools and cause scratching and wear to the tablets high-gloss 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 Intuos3 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.

APPENDIX CONTENTS INDEX

Replacing the pen tip
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short or develops a at point, you can replace it with another nib. Simply clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed plier, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the pen. Then slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen rmly push the nib until it stops.
Important: When the Intuos3 pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it at on your desk. When the optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it at on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen or Airbrush tip, do not store the tools in a container where they will rest on their tip or eraser.

Intuos3 Grip Pen (ZP-501E). Sensitive to pressure and tilt, the Grip Pen is an all-purpose tool for use in 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. Intuos3 mouse (ZC-100). The cordless, battery-free, ve 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 ngerwheel that can be used for up and down scrolling, or it can be programmed for a variety of other actions. Intuos3 Airbrush (ZP-400E). A true digital airbrush, the pressure-sensitive Intuos3 Airbrush incorporates a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, tilt sensitivity, and a ngerwheel that provides an additional degree of control over the application of digital paint. Intuos3 Ink Pen (ZP-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 Ink 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 Ink Pen, it comes with a blank nib in the pen. Use the nib puller (silver ring) to gently remove the blank nib from the pen. Then insert one of the silver-colored cartridges that come with the Ink Pen. The cartridge tip has a waxy coating that you will need to rub off before you can begin inking. Intuos3 Art Pen (ZP-600). This specialty pen provides 360 degrees of barrel rotation and, like the Intuos3 Grip Pen, it is pressure and tilt sensitive. Combining these features with a unique chisel-shaped nib makes the Intuos3 Art Pen the most realistic tool for emulating brushes, markers, and calligraphic pens. Intuos3 Classic Pen (ZP-300E). This pen has the same feature set as the Intuos3 Grip Pen, but with a slimmer prole that does not include a rubberized grip.

Intuos3 lens cursor (ZC-210). Available for use with 12x12 / A4 Oversize and 12x19 / A3 Wide tablet models, 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.
