TESTING A PEN
1. While observing the POINTING DEVICE INFO column, bring your Intuos3 tool within 6 mm (0.25 inch) of the
tablet’s active area. A value for P
ROXIMITY, the DEVICE NAME, DEVICE TYPE, and a DEVICE S/N (serial
number) should be displayed. If you have more than one tablet connected to your system, be sure to
select the tablet for which you are testing your tools in the T
ABLET INFO column.
2. Move your tool along the tablet surface. The X and Y DATA values should change to reflect the tool
position.
3. Test your Intuos3 pen switches. The tablet’s status LED should change color from blue to green each
time you click with the tool tip, press the side switch, or press the tool’s eraser to the tablet.
• Click on the tablet surface with the tool tip – the S
WITCHES state and PRESSURE value should change.
(P
RESSURE should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately 100%
when full pressure is applied.)
• Next, press the side switch without pressing the tip to the tablet – the S
WITCHES state should change.
(For the Intuos3 pen, do this for both positions of the DuoSwitch.)
• Press the tool’s eraser to the tablet – the S
WITCHES state and PRESSURE value will change.
(P
RESSURE should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately 100%
when full pressure is applied.)
• For the Airbrush, move the fingerwheel forward – the W
HEEL value should decrease to a value of
approximately 0 when the fingerwheel is all the way forward. Move the fingerwheel backward – the
W
HEEL value should increase to approximately 1000 when the fingerwheel is all the way back.
4. Test tilt for the x-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the right; the X TILT value should
change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool to the left of vertical; the X T
ILT value should
change from approximately 0 to -60.
5. Test tilt for the y-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the bottom of the tablet; the Y
T
ILT value should change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool toward the top of the tablet;
the Y T
ILT value should change from approximately 0 to -60.
6. If you are testing an Art Pen, test pen rotation by holding the pen vertically and twisting it around its axis.
The displayed R
OTATION value should change.
7. When you are done, click on the CLOSE button to exit the dialog box.
