VII Introduction to driver
If the device is successfully connected to the computer, the device’s picture will be displayed on
the driver interface. If the connection fails, restart your computer or driver. Multiple devices can
be connected at the same time, and up to three devices are supported. After switching one of
the devices, user-defined settings can be made for the current device, and the settings only work
for the currently selected device.
Save settings:
Please click the "OK" button on the left side of the driver interface to save the settings after
changing the configuration; otherwise, the changed settings will work only for the current use.
i Work area
a. Screen
If multiple monitors are used in duplicate mode, the device’s work area will be mapped to all
monitors. When the stylus moves in the device’s work area, the cursor on all monitors will move
at the same time. If multiple monitors are used in extended mode, on the driver interface, select
which monitor the device’s work area is mapped to.

9
The screen’s display area can be set in the following three ways:
1. Set full screen: Set the display area of the selected monitor to the maximum.
2. Set screen area: Manually set the screen’s display area with the mouse.
3. Customize: Manually enter coordinates in the corresponding input boxes below X, Y, W and
H to customize the size of the screen’s display area, or use the mouse to drag on the screen icon
of the driver interface to adjust the screen’s display area.
Identify:
Identify all connected monitors, and numeric identifiers will be displayed in the lower-left corner
of each monitor.
b. Pen Tablet/Pen Display
Define the relationship between pen movement on the device and cursor movement on the
display.
The device’s work area can be set in the following four ways:
1. Full area: Maximize the device’s work area.
2. Proportion: Scales the device’s work area to the entire display area of the selected monitor.
3. Set area: Use the stylus to click the "upper left corner" position and the "lower right corner"
position on the device to select its work area.

10
4. Customize: Manually enter coordinates in the corresponding input boxes below X, Y, W and
H to customize the size of the device’s work area, or use the stylus to drag on the device icon
on the driver interface to set the size of the device’s work area.
Rotation setting:
You may set the device to 0°, 90°, 180° & 270°. After finishing the setting, you also need to
rotate the device in the corresponding direction.
Rotating 180° means to change to the left-handed mode.
ii Application
Customize all keys’ functions and adjust pressure for different applications on the current device.
When switching between different applications, the driver will be identified automatically. Once
all applications selected, the function works for all applications. Click a single application, and
the function will only works for the currently selected application.

interface.
2. Select application to be added from the running applications or click the "browse" button to
add from the installed applications.
3. Click "OK" and the selected application will be added to the application bar.

11
iii Pen settings
When the stylus is within the sensing area, it will automatically identify different types of styluses
and add them to the driver. Each different type of stylus can be configured differently.
Click the drop-down menu to "Customize" the stylus’s button functions. Select "Mouse control"
or "Keyboard" in "Customize" to customize key combinations.
Mouse control:
Set mouse and keyboard key combinations. With the "Shift" and "Left Click" selected, the
shortcut actions can be enabled in application that supports such key combinations.
Keyboard:
Configure keyboard shortcuts, for example, set to "Alt + A" in the 3D MAX application to use
the alignment tool.
Multiple groups of shortcut keys can be set. After setting, press the key and all the shortcut key
functions set will run once.

12
Other:
Precision mode is to limit the device’s work area to a certain area. This function may allow you
to create more detailed drawings.
Pressure settings:
The pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the "output" and "pressure" curve or moving the
slider on the progress bar.
Current pressure can test your current stylus pressure.
Mouse mode:
The absolute mode is used by default, check this to use the relative mode (move the slider to
adjust the speed at which the cursor moves with you on the device).
Absolute coordinate (pen): Map the device’s work area to the screen’s display area, and each
point on the device fully maps to a specific point on the monitors. When the stylus is placed on
the device, the cursor jumps to the corresponding point on the monitors.
Relative coordinate (mouse): When you lift up the stylus, the cursor stays at the position you
left, and the operation mode is like a mouse.

Microsoft Office, Microsoft Whiteboard and other applications, please do not turn off this
function.
