to most common questions.

WORKING WITH GRAPHIRE3
The Graphire3 pen and mouse set consists of two basic elements:a tablet that serves as your work area, and the
Graphire3 Input Tools you use with the tablet.
The quickest way to learn about your Graphire3 pen and mouse set is to become familiar with its appearance and
features. If you are new to using a pen tablet and tablet input tools, read the following sections; they describe your
Graphire3 tools and explain how to use them with the tablet.
Note: The Cordless Mouse that came with your Graphire3 tablet will not work on any other tablet model (including
tablets from the Graphire or Graphire2 series).

GRAPHIRE3 INPUT TOOLS
Your Graphire3 input tools are cordless, batteryless, and ergonomically designed.
• The Graphire3 pen is a pressure-sensitive freehand tool for image editing and creating natural-looking pen and
brush strokes.
• The Graphire3 Cordless Mouse is an ideal tool for navigation, with three customizable buttons that you can
program for different functions. The integrated fingerwheel is both a programmable middle button and a rolling
wheel. In most applications, rolling the wheel will cause the active window to scroll.
