SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position your tablet, pen, and
keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. Your monitor should be positioned
so you can view it comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain. For best results, orient the tablet so the screen
cursor follows the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
Note regarding RSI: Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or
prevent, in whole or in part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions.
Individual results may vary. Always obtain competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate
treatment for your specific situation.
See working with the tablet for more information.
Here are some other points to keep in
mind:
• Take short breaks between tasks to
stretch and relax your muscles.
• Use a gentle grip when working with
your pen.
• Alternate tasks and tools throughout
the day.
• Maintain a good posture at all times.
Minimize awkward postures and
repetitive movements that cause
discomfort.
• Change your position if you feel any
discomfort due to your work position.

USING THE CORDLESS PEN
There are four basic techniques for using the pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. If you
are unfamiliar with using the pen, try the exercises on the following pages.
Holding the pen
About the active area
Pointing
Clicking
Dragging
Using the pen buttons
Writing and Inking with pressure sensitivity
Eye-hand coordination exercise
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the Bamboo One pen like you would hold a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the pen buttons are in a
convenient location where you can toggle them with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidently press
them while drawing or navigating with the pen. You can tilt the pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen rest or lay it flat on your desk.
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen tip, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its
tip. Leaving the Bamboo One pen on the tablet active area may interfere with screen cursor
positioning when using other pointing devices. Also, leaving the pen on the tablet active area when
not in use can prevent your computer from going to sleep.
Position for writing, drawing, and navigating.
Use the integrated pen rest to
store the pen between tasks.
This also makes the pen
available for quick, easy
access when you are working.
The rest allows horizontal
placement of the pen.

ABOUT THE ACTIVE AREA
The active area is the area of the tablet that senses pen movement. The screen area is the corresponding
area on the screen.
The tablet active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen (a one-to-one relationship), and
uses the entire screen. Wherever you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the
corresponding point on the screen. This is the default setting for the pen.
Screen area
The pointer in the screen area
indicates pen position, and the
pointer follows the movements
of the pen.

POINTING
The Bamboo One pen positions the pointer (or cursor) on your screen. You can position the screen cursor
two different ways, like a pen (Pen Mode) or like a mouse (Mouse Mode).
•In P
EN MODE, the tablet active area is a mapped representation of your computer screen; wherever
you place the pen on the tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen.
This is the default setting for the pen.
•In M
OUSE MODE, you move the cursor with a “pick up and slide” motion similar to using a traditional
mouse.
Try moving the screen cursor by lifting the pen and
placing the pen tip in a new location on the tablet.
The cursor instantly jumps to the new location.
When positioning the screen cursor and operating a pen button, the
pen tip needs to be within 5 mm (0.20 inch) of the tablet surface.
You do not need to touch the tablet with the pen tip in order to move
the screen cursor or use a pen button.
5 mm (0.20 inch)
Hints:
• If you find that using a pen is somewhat difficult, try the eye-hand coordination exercise.
• Pointing is easier when you orient the tablet so the screen cursor follows the same direction as your hand
movements on the tablet.

CLICKING
You typically click to highlight or select something on the screen, and double-click to open it.
Clicking. Tap the pen tip once on the tablet, or press the pen tip on the tablet with enough force to
register a click. (If CLICK SOUND is selected in the Bamboo control panel and your computer speakers are
on, then you will hear a “click” sound when the pen tip is pressed hard enough to generate a button click.)
Try clicking on a folder icon by moving the screen cursor over the icon and pressing down on the pen tip.
The folder should highlight when you press.
Double-clicking. Quickly tap the tablet twice in the same place with the pen tip. This is like clicking twice
with a mouse button. Try double-clicking on a folder icon to open it.
DRAGGING
To drag, first point to an object. Then press the pen tip to the tablet and slide it across the tablet surface.
The selected object will move across the screen. To select text, move the screen cursor to the beginning of
a text line, then drag the pen across the tablet until the text is highlighted.
Hint: You can configure Windows to select when
the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with
a single click. To turn on this feature, first open a
folder.
For Windows 7 and Vista, from the ORGANIZE pull-
down menu choose FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS....
From the GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN
AN ITEM (POINT TO SELECT).
For other Windows versions, from the TOOLS pull-
down menu choose FOLDER OPTIONS.... From the
GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM
(POINT TO SELECT).
Hint: Set a pen button to DOUBLE CLICK. This is
easier than tapping twice with the pen tip.
First, try moving an icon on the screen.
Then, within a document, select some text by
pressing and dragging the pen tip across the text.

USING THE PEN BUTTONS
The Bamboo One pen has two buttons. Each button has a programmable function that is selected when
you press the button. You can use a pen button whenever the pen tip is within 5 mm (0.20 inch) of the
tablet active area. You do not have to touch the pen tip to the tablet in order to use a button.
To assign new button functions, see customizing the pen buttons.
The upper pen button is set to RIGHT CLICK, and the lower button is
set to PAN/SCROLL by default.
• Use RIGHT CLICK to bring up application-specific or icon-
specific menus.
•P
AN/SCROLL lets you position a document or image in any
direction within the active window by pressing the pen button
and moving the pen tip across the tablet’s active area. As you
move the pen tip, the document or image is repositioned to
follow the direction of pen movement on the tablet. Release the
pen button or lift the pen tip from the tablet surface when you
are done.
In some application windows the document will precisely follow
the screen cursor as you move the pen tip, while in others it will
simply move in the same general direction as the screen cursor. Hint: Set a pen button to DOUBLE
CLICK. This is easier than tapping
twice with the pen tip.

WRITING AND INKING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
The Bamboo One pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and
brush strokes. The digital ink tools in Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and Office 2007 or later, as well as the
drawing tools in many graphics applications, respond to the pressure you place on the pen.
For example, sliders are used in some applications to vary line characteristics (width, color, and opacity).
These characteristics can be controlled much better by the pen’s pressure sensitivity – you can vary line
width, blend colors, and change opacity with the pressure you exert upon the pen.
EYE-HAND COORDINATION EXERCISE
This exercise is designed to retrain your eye-hand coordination for using the pen:
1. Open any graphics application. Use the line tool to sketch a rectangular grid with line spacings of
about 20-25 mm (3/4 to 1 inch). You can use your traditional mouse to do this.
2. Choose a free-hand tool in your application and use the pen to add a dot at each grid intersection.
3. Place an X at each grid intersection.
4. Now sketch a circle around each intersection.
5. Clear your screen and make a simple illustration of your own. The more you use your pen, the easier
drawing and navigation will become.
To write, ink, or sketch with pressure sensitivity,
move the pen along the surface of the tablet while
applying various amounts of pressure downward on
the tip of the pen. Press hard for thick lines or
dense color. Press gently for thin lines or softer
color. Note that some applications require that you
first select a pressure-sensitive tool from the
application’s tool palette.
To adjust the tip feel, see adjusting tip feel and
double-click.
Visit our web site for a list of applications that
support pressure. See product information.

WORKING WITH THE TABLET
The middle area of the tablet is the working, or active, area for the pen. Rest your hand on the tablet and
then work with the pen on the active area of the tablet just as if you were using a ball point pen on a piece
of paper. Wherever you place your pen on the tablet active area, the screen cursor will jump to the
corresponding point on the screen. See using the cordless pen for more information.

ADJUSTING TIP FEEL AND DOUBLE-CLICK
Open the Bamboo control panel. To create broad inking strokes or to click with a light touch, use a soft tip
setting. For maximum control while inking thin lines, use a firm tip setting.
When checked, an
audible “click” sound
will be heard
whenever a pen click
occurs and your
computer speakers
are turned on.
Customizes the
amount of pressure
needed to click,
write, or ink.
Drag the slider to a
softer or firmer
setting.
Adjusts the size of
the double-click area
and the double-click
speed. A larger
setting makes
double-clicking
easier.
Hints:
• Use a soft TIP FEEL for a wider range of pressure values with most pressure-sensitive applications.
• In some applications, a soft pressure setting can make the pen overreact – any small press on the pen is
magnified on the screen. If you experience this, try a firmer TIP FEEL setting.
• To make double-clicking easier, expand the tap area that accepts a double-click (the double-click distance).
A large double-click distance may cause a delay at the beginning of brush strokes in some drawing
applications. This may also cause a delay at the beginning of a drag action or inking stroke. If you notice such
effects, try setting a smaller double-click distance and using a pen button to double-click (see using the pen
buttons).

can be set for a variety of mouse functions; the pull-down menus enable you to choose the function that
will be performed.
Select the function to perform when
pressing the upper or lower pen button.
When you bring the pen tip within 5 mm
(0.20 inch) of the tablet surface without
touching the tablet and press the upper or
lower pen button, the selected function
occurs.
Hint: To make double-clicking easier, set a
pen button to double-click automatically by
selecting DOUBLE CLICK.
You can change the SIDE SWITCH MODE for
the way you like to use the pen when making
right-clicks or other click functions. Click on
the ADVANCED button. In the dialog box that

TROUBLESHOOTING
Most of the time your tablet will work flawlessly. But if you are having trouble, Wacom recommends you do
the following:
1. If the pen tablet driver failed to load properly, first perform the recommended action in any error
message that may appear on your screen. If that does not solve the problem, refer to the
troubleshooting procedures in this chapter.
2. Look in the troubleshooting tables. Your problem may be described there and you can try the solution
offered.
3. Open the pen tablet Read Me file for late-breaking information.
4. Test your tablet and pen. See testing your tablet and pen.
5. If you are having a compatibility conflict between Bamboo One and a new hardware or software
product, check if a newer pen tablet software driver is available. See obtaining driver downloads for
information on downloading an updated software driver. Wacom periodically updates the software
driver to maintain compatibility with new products.
6. Check the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on the Wacom web site for your region.

TESTING YOUR TABLET AND PEN
1. Turn on your computer and wait until the system has fully loaded.
2. Check the tablet. The tablet’s orange status LED will light whenever the tablet is properly connected
and your computer has registered it as a USB device. If the LED is on, continue with step 3.
If not:
• Make sure the tablet USB cable is securely connected to an active USB port on your computer.
• If you are connecting the tablet to a USB hub (or hub device such as a keyboard with USB ports), be
sure the USB hub is properly connected to your computer and is active.
• Check the cable for damage.
• Connect the tablet to a different USB port or try connecting to the USB port on another computer.
• If the status LED does not illuminate after your computer is on and has finished booting up, your
USB port may be disabled. Verify that you have connected the tablet to an active USB port.
3. Check the pen by first opening the Bamboo control panel. Click on the DEFAULT button to return the
pen to its default settings. Next:
• Touch the pen tip to the tablet active area. The status LED on the tablet should change from orange
to green each time the tip makes contact with the tablet surface.
• Without applying pressure to the pen tip, hold the pen tip within approximately 5 mm (0.20 inch) of
the tablet surface and press each pen button in turn. The status LED should again change from
orange to green each time a pen button is pressed
• While still within proximity, but without touching the tablet surface, move your pen across the active
area of the tablet. The screen cursor should move in the corresponding direction on your monitor or
display screen.
4. If any of these tests fail you may have defective hardware. See technical support options.
5. After testing, use the Bamboo control panel to reconfigure your tablet and pen for any custom settings
you may originally have been using.

PEN AND DIGITAL INK CAPABILITIES IN WINDOWS
Microsoft Windows 7 and Vista provide extensive support for pen* input. When using Bamboo One with a
computer running Windows 7 or Vista, your experience is enhanced by powerful note taking, handwriting
recognition, fast navigation, and other digital inking options designed to give you quick, intuitive results
with the pen.
•Note taking
. Use your Bamboo One pen to jot notes and capture quick sketches in Microsoft Journal.
Journal simulates a physical notebook, but with the advantages of digital note taking. You can choose
from a variety of pen, marker, and highlighter tools. Journal also includes a powerful search engine that
can even locate your handwritten content.
• Handwriting recognition. Because Windows 7 and Vista include powerful handwriting recognition
capabilities, you can use your Bamboo One pen to quickly enter handwritten information anywhere the
computer accepts typed input. You can convert your handwritten content to typed text at any time.
•Gestures
. Use your Bamboo One pen to make simple gestural movements on the tablet to trigger
customizable actions for navigation, editing, and other functions. To customize your gestures, select
the Flicks tab in the PEN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.
• Digital Ink in Microsoft Office 2007. Use your Bamboo One pen to full advantage with the enhanced
digital mark-up and inking tools available in Microsoft Office 2007 or later applications running on
Windows 7 or Vista. Found on the REVIEW tab within applicable applications, these tools provide a
consistent set of inking options. For quick access, you can add specific inking tools to the Quick
Access Toolbar located at the top of each application.
To make the most of the pen in Microsoft Windows, be sure to study the documentation that came with
your system, including the Windows training tools and Tablet PC tutorial. You can access the Tablet PC
Pen Training from the START menu by choosing ALL PROGRAMS, TABLET PC, and TABLET PC PEN TRAINING.
Note: The following workarounds in the Wacom tablet driver improve drawing performance in Windows 7
and Vista:
The Pen Flicks and ‘press-and-hold-to-right-click’ features are disabled in graphics applications
using the Wintab API.
There is no pressure sensitivity in Journal and other Ink features when both the Flicks and ‘press-
and-hold-to-right-click’ features are disabled in the PEN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.
* Pen features supported in all versions of Windows 7 and Vista except Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic, and
Windows Vista Home Basic.

CARING FOR YOUR TABLET AND PEN
Keep your Bamboo One pen and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your pen and
cause excessive wear to the tablet surface. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help to prolong
the life of your tablet surface and pen; you can also dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with
water. Do not use volatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, as they may damage the plastic case.
Keep your tablet and pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is
best. Also, your pen and tablet are not made to come apart. Twisting the pen case can break the pen.
Taking apart the product will void your warranty.
Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the tablet or pen. Be especially careful of getting the
pen buttons and tip wet – they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquid enters them.
REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Replace the pen nib when it gets too short – less than 1 mm
(.04 inch) – or develops a flat point.
Clasp the old nib with a tweezer, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument and pull it straight out of the
pen. Then slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen – firmly push the nib until it stops.
Warning: Prevent children from swallowing the pen tip or pen buttons. The pen tip (nib) or pen
buttons may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
To order replacement parts, see ordering parts and accessories.
Pen nib
Available as optional spare part.
See ordering parts and accessories.
1 mm (.04 inch) or less)
Important: When the Bamboo One pen is not in use, place it on the
pen rest or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your
pen, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on the tip.

television reception.
FCC NOTICE
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
You can determine whether the equipment is causing interference by disconnecting it from your computer. If the
interference stops, it was probably caused by the equipment.
If the equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, you may be able to correct the interference
by using one or more of the following measures:
• Rotate the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment and computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio.
If necessary, consult your Wacom dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Wacom could void the FCC Certification and negate your
authority to operate the product.

LICENCE WARRANTY CONDITIONS
(EUROPE, AFRICA AND MIDDLE EAST)
SOFTWARE LICENCE AGREEMENT
Important customer information
The scope of delivery of this product covers copyright-protected computer programs ("software"), which are the
inalienable intellectual property of WACOM Europe GmbH ("WACOM"). This software is an integral component of the
product and is also held on the associated data carrier. The software of WACOM and the associated rights of use are
not included with the purchase of this product from your retailer. WACOM grants you-the user-the right to use the
software exclusively in accordance with the conditions stipulated in this licence agreement. By purchasing this
product, you agree to the following licence conditions.
Conditions for using the software
WACOM issues the user with a personal, non-exclusive licence to use the software solely in connection with this
product and for the correct operation of the product. This licence may only be assigned to a third party in connection
with this product.
Use of this software includes the creation of permanent or temporary copies of the software by means of loading,
displaying, exporting, transferring or saving, for the purposes of exporting the commands and the data they contain or
for observing, researching or testing the software functions.
The customer may not license the software to a third party, lease, lend or in any other way provide access to the
software. The customer may not copy, change, transfer or edit the software without prior written agreement from
WACOM. The only exceptions to this are necessary procedures for creating a back-up copy and the scenarios
outlined in section 2.
The customer may not carry out any "reverse engineering", decompile or depacketise the software, or try by any other
means to discover the source code of the software. This restriction shall continue to apply after the termination of this
agreement. If the software contains interfaces to other programs that are not supported by WACOM, WACOM shall
provide the customer with the necessary information on request, as long as the customer can prove his right to use
the software and agrees to bear the copying and postage costs.
WACOM AND ITS SUPPLIERS CANNOT OFFER ANY GUARANTEE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE
OR FOR THE RESULTS PRODUCED THERE FROM. WACOM AND ITS SUPPLIERS OFFER NO GUARANTEES OR
ASSURANCES (EITHER EXPRESSLY OR IMPLICITLY, INCLUDING THOSE THAT MAY BE DERIVED FROM A
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP OR FROM TRADE PRACTICE, OR FROM LEGAL PROVISIONS OR CUSTOMARY LAW)
WITH REGARD TO THE MARKETABILITY, FREEDOM FROM DEFECTS OF TITLE OR USEFULNESS OF THE
SOFTWARE.
WACOM AND ITS SUPPLIERS ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS OF ANY KIND, NOR
FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SECONDARY, ACCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PENAL DAMAGES, PARTICULAR
OR MISCELLANEOUS DAMAGES OR FOR DEMANDS OR INDEMNITY CLAIMS FOR REDUCED PROFITS OR
LOSSES. THIS SHALL ALSO APPLY IN THE CASE OF A REPRESENTATIVE OF WACOM BEING PREVIOUSLY
AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS, OR DEMANDS FROM THIRD
PARTIES.

50
The existing limitations on liability shall not apply in the case of the assumption of explicit guarantees, or in case of
fraudulent behaviour on the part of WACOM, nor for damages arising from wilful or grossly negligent behaviour on the
part of WACOM, from damages leading to loss of life, personal injury or sickness or in the case of binding legal
provisions. For slight negligence, WACOM and its suppliers shall only be liable in the event of a breach of essential
contractual obligations. Liability when such an essential contractual obligation is breached is, however, limited to
damages typical to this type of contract, which WACOM must have determined at the conclusion of the contract
based on the known risks and circumstances at that time. Claims for reduced profits or expenses saved, indemnity
claims from third parties or claims for any other direct or consequential damages still cannot be asserted in this case.
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to this agreement. However, the applicability of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is explicitly excluded. Krefeld is the sole place of
jurisdiction for all claims arising from this contractual relationship and all disputes between the parties resulting from
the formation, handling or termination of the contractual relationship, provided that the customer is a trader, a legal
entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
The jurisdiction agreement shall also apply for customers who do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany.
The jurisdiction agreement shall not apply if, due to legal provisions, a different sole place of jurisdiction must be
established for the case. Furthermore, WACOM is authorised to file a lawsuit against the headquarters of the
customer.
This licence constitutes the entire contractual agreement between the parties. It overrides all other verbal and written
contracts and agreements and may only be altered by means of a written and signed contract. Should one of the
provisions of these licence conditions be or become void, the validity of the other provisions shall not be affected, in
full or in part. Should a provision be invalid, the legally permissible regulation most closely resembling the invalid
regulation shall apply in its place.
LIMITED WARRANTY
WACOM guarantees to you, as the initial purchaser, that the product hardware, when used as intended, will remain
free from material defects and processing errors for a warranty period of TWO (2) YEARS and Cintiq products shall be
guaranteed for a warranty period of THREE (3) YEARS, commencing from the purchase date and provided that the
product was unused at the time of purchase. Defects in wear parts (e.g. pen tips) resulting from normal wear and tear
are exempt from the warranty. Furthermore, WACOM guarantees that the data carriers delivered with the product are
free from material defects and processing errors for a period of SIX (6) MONTHS from the date of purchase.
If the product-excluding any software-is discovered to be faulty it must be returned immediately to the place of
purchase in its original packaging within the warranty period together with your name, address and telephone number,
a description of the problem and a copy of the original receipt. The customer shall be liable for any possible damage
or loss of the product during transit for this purpose. Under the provisions of this warranty, WACOM only undertakes
to repair or replace the faulty product or parts at its own discretion, in cases where defects are proven and the
product is sent within the warranty period.
WACOM is not obligated to repair or replace the product if: (a) the damage to the product results from any accident,
misuse, improper use, negligence or unauthorised alteration or repair; (b) the product was not handled or stored
according to the instructions provided by WACOM; (c) the damage resulted from normal wear and tear; or d) the serial
number affixed by WACOM has been removed or rendered unintelligible.
If, when a claim made under this warranty is checked, it emerges that it is outside the permitted time period or is not
covered by the warranty or that the product is not faulty, the costs of any checks or repairs must be borne by the
customer.

Any descriptions, drawings, specifications, samples, models, notifications or similar material provided in connection
with the purchase of the product cannot be taken as an explicit guarantee that the product corresponds to or fulfils
the customer's requirements.
If this product is faulty, the purchaser shall be entitled to assert legal claims against the vendor for liability due to
defects. These legal rights against the vendor are not limited by the existing warranty. The warranty grants the
customer many additional rights under the conditions stipulated in this text.
This limited warranty shall apply if the registered office of the vendor is in the EU or in Iceland, Norway, Jersey,
Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine, Croatia, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, United Arab
Emirates, Iran or South Africa.
The granting of this limited warranty is subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. However, the
applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is explicitly excluded.
Krefeld is the sole place of jurisdiction for all claims arising from this contractual relationship and all disputes between
the parties resulting from the formation, handling or termination of the contractual relationship, provided that the
customer is a trader, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
The jurisdiction agreement shall also apply for customers who do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany.
The jurisdiction agreement shall not apply if, due to legal provisions, a different sole place of jurisdiction must be
established for the case. Furthermore, WACOM is authorised to file a lawsuit against the headquarters of the
customer.
Should one of the provisions of these limited warranty conditions be or become void, the validity of the other
provisions shall not be affected, in full or in part. Should a provision be invalid, the legally permissible regulation most
closely resembling the invalid regulation shall apply in its place.

GLOSSARY
Active area. The drawing area of the tablet where your Bamboo One pen is detected.
Aspect. The ratio between the vertical and horizontal dimension of the tablet or display.
Click force. The amount of force you must apply to the tip of your pen for a click to occur.
Digital ink. A broad category that typically describes handwritten content which has been created using
pen-based input on a computer. This handwritten content takes the form of sketches, ink mark-up, or
handwriting. The handwriting can optionally be converted to typewritten text or simply left alone for use in
its original format. Depending on your system and application settings, the handwritten text you make with
digital ink can be converted on-the-fly or at another time.
Double-click distance. The maximum distance (in screen pixels) that the cursor can move between clicks
and still be accepted as a double-click. Increasing the double-click distance makes double-clicking easier,
but may cause a delay in brush strokes in some graphics applications.
Journal. A Microsoft Windows application that electronically simulates a physical journal pad, but with the
advantages of digital note-taking. For example, you can create quick sketches and jot handwritten notes
that can be converted to text and sent on to colleagues for digital mark-up. Journal includes a variety of
pen, marker, and highlighter tools. Additionally, your handwritten content is searchable within Journal.
Mapping. The relationship between your Bamboo One pen position on the tablet and the cursor position
on the display screen.
Modifier. Modifier keys include SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL for Windows, or SHIFT, CONTROL, COMMAND, and OPTION
for Macintosh. You can customize your Bamboo One pen buttons to simulate a modifier key.
Mouse acceleration. A setting that allows you to adjust the screen cursor acceleration when your Bamboo
One pen is in mouse mode.
Mouse mode. A method for positioning the screen cursor. When you place the Bamboo One pen on the
tablet, you can move the screen cursor with a “pick up and slide” motion similar to using a traditional
mouse. This is known as relative positioning. See also pen mode.
Mouse speed. A setting that allows you to adjust the speed at which your screen cursor moves when your
Bamboo One pen is in mouse mode.
Nib. The replaceable pen tip.

Pen mode. A method of positioning the screen cursor. Wherever you place your Bamboo One pen on the
tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the same corresponding point on the screen. This is known as
absolute positioning, and is the default setting for the Bamboo One pen. Also, PEN MODE allows you to
quickly position the screen cursor without having to first find it and then move it across the desktop.
See also mouse mode.
Pixel. The smallest unit of measure on your monitor screen.
Pressure sensitive. A quality of the Bamboo One pen tip that senses the amount of pressure being applied.
This is used to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes in applications that are pressure sensitive.
Pressure-sensitive application. Any application that supports pressure-sensitive input.
Proximity. The height above the tablet active area where the Bamboo One pen is detected. Refer also to
the pointing section.
Screen cursor. The pointer on the display screen. Screen cursors come in different shapes (such as an
I-beam, arrow, or box), depending on which application you are running.
Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP). The Microsoft Windows 7 and Vista Tablet PC Input Panel enables you to use
your Bamboo One pen to create handwritten notes or work with an on-screen keyboard. The Input Panel
dynamically converts your handwriting to text. The information you create can then be inserted into other
documents, spreadsheets, or illustrations. See also pen and digital ink capabilities in Windows.
USB. Universal Serial Bus. A hardware interface standard for connecting computer peripheral devices.
USB ports support hot-plugging, which allows you to connect or disconnect a USB device without turning
off your computer.
Wintab. An interface standard used by Windows applications for receiving tablet information.
Bamboo One supports all Wintab-compatible applications under Windows.
