the tablet software, your license and warranty, and more.

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.
