I. General Information
OVERVIEW
Welcome to the ARTISUL Family! Discover how simple and innovative it is to control your computer using
our Pen and LCD Pen Display in place of your mouse or track pad.
The Monet Pen functions very similar to an art pen, being able to draw a line very thin or thick, light or
dark. This is also known as pressure sensitivity. You can write, sign, annotate documents, draw, sketch,or
paint as easily as you would on normal paper. Simulate the functions of a pencil, mark pen, brush, or
watercolor pen by using graphics apps and software such as Adobe® Photoshop™, Corel® Painter™,
Clip Studio Paint™, Paint Tool SAI, Toon Boom, and more!
ARTISUL FUNCTIONS
After installing the device driver, your ARTISUL Pen Display has the following functions:
•Direct Pointing – You can move the cursor to any location by hovering the Pen tip over your
ARTISUL display.
•Three-button Mouse Commands - Your ARTISUL Pen Display provides all the functions of a three-
button mouse by using its pen tip and two buttons.
•QuickDial –You can scroll through documents and Web pages by pressing the middle button of the
QuickDial over your ARTISUL display.
•Pressure sensitivity – This feature allows you to emulate various brushes and pencils by pressing
the Pen down on the ARTISUL display.
CAUTION: The U Pen and Monet Pen have sensitive electronic components inside, which can be damaged
when dropped or mishandled. Store the U Pen or Monet Pen in a safe and secure place when not in use.

Monitor Mapping
How to Change to Extended Display
Extended Display means you work with a larger Windows desktop area spanning your computer monitor
and your Artisul LCD Display. Applications can be moved from one display to the other, and will allow you
to work in different screen resolutions.

2. In Multiple Displays dropdown, change to [Extend these displays].
3. If your computer is equipped with more than one monitor, your ARTISUL pen display will map to
the monitors based on how they are configured in the DISPLAY PROPERTIES control panel.
4. After you have correctly configured your computer for multiple monitors, you can then adjust your
ARTISUL pen display mapping by opening the ARTISUL panel and changing the appropriate
options. This enables you to toggle the current ARTISUL mapping and screen cursor between the
system desktop or primary display and your other monitors.
Note: 11. Under the “Duplicate” display mode of the “Multiple Display” function, the display resolution of
your monitor must be set to the same resolution as your ARTISUL. Otherwise, your pen cursor will be
misplaced on the screen. For ARTISUL D13, please make sure the other monitor resolution is set to 1920 x
1080.
