TABLET TO SCREEN MAPPING
Select the MAPPING tab to define the relationship between tool movement on the tablet surface and cursor
movement on the monitor screen.
By default the entire active area of the tablet maps to the entire monitor. If more than one monitor is in use
the tablet will map to all monitors. See working with multiple monitors.
MODE options control how the screen cursor moves. Select PEN MODE to set
the cursor so that its movement corresponds with the position of your
Intuos4 tool on the tablet. Wherever you place your tool on the tablet, the
cursor will appear at a corresponding point on the screen. This is known as
absolute positing and is the default setting for the pen.
Select the ORIENTATION of your
tablet. This setting is tablet
specific, and applies to all tools
and applications. Other MAPPING
tab settings can be customized for
a specific tool and application.
Select a monitor SCREEN AREA for
tablet to screen mapping.
When FORCE PROPORTIONS is
checked, forces a proportional
tablet to screen mapping
relationship.
Select a TABLET AREA for tablet to
screen mapping.
The tablet-to-screen image
dynamically updates to illustrate
the selected mapping relationship.

When MOUSE MODE is selected, you can decide how you would like the mouse to track. (MOUSE TRACKING options
apply only to the Intuos4 Mouse.)
• When USE TABLET ORIENTATION is selected, moving the mouse toward the top of the tablet moves the screen
cursor up. In this mode the entire active area of the tablet is available for mouse tracking.
• When USE MOUSE ORIENTATION is selected, moving the mouse forward moves the screen cursor up. In this
mode a reduced inset portion of the active area is available for mouse tracking. This is the default setting for all
Intuos4 tablets.
Select MOUSE MODE to move the
screen cursor with a “pick up and
slide” motion similar to using a
traditional mouse.
Sets the screen cursor acceleration.
Select a slower or faster screen
cursor tracking speed.
Notes:
You can switch between PEN MODE and MOUSE MODE by using the screen Radial Menu.
If you frequently switch between PEN MODE and MOUSE MODE, you also can assign the MODE
TOGGLE... function to one of your tool buttons.

WORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLE
DISPLAY TOGGLE is available only on multiple monitor systems. This feature allows you to work with your
tablet on all displays or on one display at a time. (See working with multiple monitors.)
After setting an ExpressKey to DISPLAY TOGGLE, you can then press that button to sequentially toggle the
current tablet mapping between a base mapping (the current setting from the MAPPING tab) and other
monitors. For example:
1. The entire display area of a multi-monitor system
is set up for extended mode and assigned to the
active area of the Intuos4 tablet.
2. Pressing a tool button to which the DISPLAY
TOGGLE function has been assigned toggles the
tablet mapping to the next display in sequence
Contents
Index

Contents
Index
59
In the Wacom Tablet control panel, the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab is automatically available when the Intuos4
tablet is installed on a multi-monitor system. This tab lets you set which monitor(s) will be included in the
toggle sequence.
On the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab all
monitors are selected in the toggle
sequence by default. Uncheck any
monitor you want removed from the
toggle sequence.
• The base mapping is the tablet
and display mapping that is
defined in the MAPPING tab.
By default, this would include
all monitors unless you have
defined a specific monitor as
your primary monitor in the
MAPPING tab.
• As you toggle to the next
monitor, each tool’s active
tablet area is mapped to that
monitor (in PEN MODE).
• Toggling one more time after
the last checked monitor
returns the system to the base
mapping.
Important: When using application-specific settings with DISPLAY
TOGGLE, be sure that each customized application in the
APPLICATION list (including ALL OTHER) has a tool button assigned to
DISPLAY TOGGLE. The easiest way to do this is to assign DISPLAY
TOGGLE to an ExpressKey prior to creating any application-specific
settings.
Note that any of the following actions will return the toggle sequence to the base mapping:
• Launching a graphics application that supports pressure sensitivity.
• Logging out of or rebooting the system.
• Switching users (Fast User Switching).
• Placing the system in sleep mode.
• Changing the MAPPING or DISPLAY TOGGLE tab settings.
• Changing the resolution or number of displays on your system.
• Using the MODE TOGGLE... function.
• Selecting PEN MODE or MOUSE MODE from the Radial Menu.
Tip: To toggle between monitors without including the ‘full display’ option, disable the first display on the DISPLAY
TOGGLE tab. Then go to the MAPPING tab and set the current SCREEN AREA to the first display.

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC SETTINGS
You can customize your Intuos4 tools for use with a particular application. For example, you may prefer a
firm pen tip pressure setting in one application and a soft pressure setting in another. The APPLICATION list
enables you to add an individual application to the list and then customize your tool settings for that
application.
•
When no application-specific settings have been created and a tool is selected from the TOOL list, the
APPLICATION list displays the ALL icon which contains tool settings that apply to all of your applications.
In the example below, no application-specific settings have been added for the GRIP PEN. The ALL icon
is displayed and the GRIP PEN will have the same settings in all applications.
•
When application-specific settings are added to the APPLICATION list, the ALL icon changes to ALL
OTHER, and an application icon is displayed for the newly added application(s).
In the above example, application-specific settings have been added for the GRIP PEN. If you select the
ALL OTHER icon and make changes to the tab settings, your changes will apply to the GRIP PEN in all
applications except those which you have added to the APPLICATION list. If you select an application
icon and make changes to the tab settings, your changes will apply to the GRIP PEN only while you are
using that application.
When you create application-specific settings, you are creating a separate group of settings for the
selected tool and application. See the following sections for more details:
Creating an application-specific setting
Changing application-specific settings
Removing application-specific settings

TESTING YOUR TABLET
Turn on your computer and wait until the system has fully loaded. Ensure that your computer has a
working Bluetooth connection, either through built-in Bluetooth support or a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter
(dongle).
1. Check the tablet connection in USB mode. A tablet status LED will light whenever the tablet is properly
connected via the USB cable and your computer has registered it as a USB device. If an LED does not
glow, then:
•
Verify that the tablet power switch is in the on position.
•
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected to the tablet and to an active USB port on your
computer. Intuos4 requires that you connect to a primary USB port (located directly on your
computer) or to a powered USB hub.
•
If you are connecting the tablet to a powered USB hub, be sure the USB hub is properly connected
to your computer and is active.
•
Connect the tablet to a different powered USB port or try connecting to the powered USB port on
another computer.
•
If a 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.
•
For best results when troubleshooting no power to the tablet (a status LED does not light), plug the
tablet directly into the system USB port located on your computer. Temporarily eliminate any
external hubs in use until you determine that the system recognizes the tablet and that it is
functional. When the tablet is working properly, it is usually okay to then move the tablet to a
powered USB hub.
2. Check the tablet connection in wireless mode. A tablet status LED will light whenever the tablet is
properly connected and your computer has registered it as a Bluetooth enabled device. If an LED does
not glow, then:
•
Verify that the tablet power switch is in the on position.
•
Check the battery power. If the battery status light glows green the battery is charged, if it glows
red the battery charge is low. If your battery charge is low, plug in the USB cable. With the USB
cable properly connected, the battery status light will glow yellow when charging, and a steady
green when fully charged.
•
If the tablet wireless connection light glows a steady blue, your Bluetooth connection is working.
Otherwise, it is not. Open the Bluetooth control panel and make sure the tablet was not
disconnected. If not disconnected, see step 3, following.
•
Switch the tablet power off, then back on.
•
Reset the tablet by disconnecting both the battery and the USB cable (if in use) for at least 10
seconds. Then reconnect the tablet battery and try again.

3. If necessary, troubleshoot the Bluetooth connection as follows:
•
Move the tablet closer to the antenna. Make sure there are no metal or other high density
obstructions in the line of sight between the tablet and Bluetooth antenna.
•
If you are using a computer with a built-in Bluetooth module, ensure it is enabled and working.
If using a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter (dongle), be sure it is plugged into an active USB port on your
computer and working.
•
Verify your Bluetooth support is working properly. Test the functionality with a different Bluetooth
enabled device or check the documentation that came with your Bluetooth support to be sure it is
working correctly.
•
Be sure that your Bluetooth configuration supports Bluetooth and the HID profile.
•
Make another attempt to pair the tablet to your system. See establishing a Bluetooth connection.
4. Check the Grip Pen.
•
Move your pen across the tablet active area; the screen cursor should move in the corresponding
direction on your monitor or display screen.
•
Press the pen tip against the surface of the tablet. A status LED should brighten.
•
Next, without applying pressure to the pen tip, hold the pen tip within approximately 10 mm
(0.39 inch) of the tablet surface and press the side switch. The LED should again brighten.
•
Turn the pen over and press the eraser against the surface of the tablet; the LED should brighten.
•
See testing your tools for detailed information.
5. Check the Touch Ring. See testing your tools.
6. Check the ExpressKeys. See testing your tools.
7. Check any other tool(s), such as the optional Intuos4 Mouse. See testing your tools.
8. If these tests fail, you may have a defective input tool or tablet. See technical support options.
9. After testing, use the Wacom Tablet control panel to reconfigure your tablet and tools for any custom
settings you may originally have been using.

BATTERY LIFE INFORMATION
All batteries age over time and gradually lose their ability to hold a charge. The typical life span of a Li-Ion
battery is two to three years, whether it is used or not.
You will need to purchase a new tablet battery when it is no longer capable of holding an adequate charge.
For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories. Batteries can also
be purchased at various retail outlets.
•
The life and performance of Li-Ion batteries is not improved by cycling (discharging and recharging) the
batteries.
•
Cool storage and keeping the battery in a partially (not fully) charged state when not in use can slow the
aging process.
•
Always charge your tablet battery whenever the low battery warning appears on your display screen, or
at the latest when the tablet battery status light begins to flash red. To reduce the power consumption
of an empty battery, the tablet will enter an auto shut-down state whenever the battery level is very low.
In this state the tablet will continue to draw a small amount of power. The power switch must be turned
off and the battery must be recharged.
•
The tablet will draw current from the battery whenever the power switch is in the on position. A small
current is drawn even in auto sleep and tablet auto shut-down modes, and will slowly discharge the
battery. It is a good idea to charge the battery and move the tablet power switch to the off position
before leaving the tablet unused for a number of days.
•
If the battery charge is low and the battery remains in the tablet for a long period of time (a week or
longer) with the power switch in the on position, the small trickle of current used by the tablet is likely to
discharge the battery so far that an internal protection circuit within the battery is activated. If this
occurs you will no longer be able to charge the battery. To preserve your battery, be sure to move the
tablet power switch to the off position before leaving the tablet unused for a week or longer.
•
For extended storage (a month or longer), Wacom recommends that the battery be at least half full
before you move the power switch to the off position. You do not need to remove the battery because
the power switch disconnects the battery from the tablet circuit when in the off position.
•
An internal protection circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below
a minimum safety level. Once a Li-Ion battery has been over-discharged it cannot be recharged.
Warning: See the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries.

REPLACING THE TABLET BATTERY
If your tablet battery has exceeded its life span and can no longer be charged or no longer holds a charge,
it will need to be replaced. Be sure to use only the rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery designed for
your tablet. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories.
Batteries can also be purchased at various retail outlets.
Important: Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet.
To replace the tablet battery:
1. Turn the wireless tablet upside down and open the battery cover. Use your fingernail to press inward on
the latch bar and flip the cover outward to open.
2. Carefully remove the old tablet battery.
3. Align the battery terminals of the new battery with the spring-loaded tablet contacts, and press the
battery into the compartment as shown. To avoid damaging your tablet, first insert the terminal end of
the battery.
4. Close the battery cover.
Important: When replacing the tablet battery,
be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces.
The battery can be damaged internally when
dropped, and should be replaced even if
there is no obvious damage. This will help
prevent any future damage that could occur
to the tablet if the battery has been dropped,
is installed in the tablet, and then later
develops a short or leak while in the tablet.
Warning: See the safety precautions for
Lithium-Ion batteries.
Many communities offer voluntary or mandatory recycling programs for batteries. Properly recycle the old
battery by following all applicable laws, and in accordance with the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion
batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.
CARING FOR YOUR TABLET AND TOOLS
Keep your Intuos4 tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your tools 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 tools; 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, because they may damage the plastic case.
Keep your tablet and tools in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is
best. Also, your tools 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 input tools. Be especially careful of getting the
tablet or tool buttons (including the pen tip and eraser) wet – they contain sensitive electronic parts that will
fail if liquids enter them.

REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. Replace the
nib when it gets too short (less than 1 mm (0.04 inch)) or develops a flat point.
1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib extraction tool and replacement nibs.
Nib extractor
Replacement nibs
• 5 standard nibs, black
• 1 flex nib, white and black
• 1 stroke nib, white
• 3 hard felt nibs, gray
2. Clasp the old nib with the nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar
instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.
3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
Pen nib
1 mm (0.04 inch) or less.
Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with the
Intuos4 pen or Airbrush. They are installed in the same manner as a standard pen nib.
Warning: Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib
or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
To order replacement parts, see available parts and accessories.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. When the
optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. Leaving the pen on the tablet can prevent the tablet
from switching off and cause the battery to discharge.
To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest on their
tip or eraser.
If you find it inconvenient to use the desktop pen stand, you can also attach the pen holder to the tablet
and place the pen in the holder loop for safe-keeping.

OPTIMIZING THE EXPRESSKEYS DISPLAY
The pen tablet ExpressKeys display uses Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Although the display has
been designed to provide reliable performance for many years, you may eventually notice a decrease in
luminosity for pixels that are lit over extended periods of time. To minimize the appearance of different
pixel brightnesses due to this effect, adjust the EXPRESSKEY DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS option to the lowest
comfortable light level. See advanced options for details.
Note: The power saving feature of the pen tablet will automatically dim the ExpressKeys display if there
has been no user input for 1 minute, and it will turn off the ExpressKeys display if the pen tablet has
been idle for 2.5 minutes.
USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROL
Some software applications may be designed to directly control the pen tablet ExpressKeys or Touch Ring
function(s). When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or
Touch Ring may perform a different function than what is currently set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.
•
When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKeys display will automatically
update to show either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys
may be overridden, depending on the application.
•
When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application
overrides only one, two, or three of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set
to SKIP.
•
An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring only when that application is
active and in the foreground. When you close that application (or select a new application pane to work
in), your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.
•
To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an
ExpressKey to SHOW SETTINGS and press the key at any time.
Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to optout or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom tablet with the application. See the
documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to
customize or disable this feature.
If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation does not describe how to disable this behavior,
you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings which will override the
behavior of the integrated application.
Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an
ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to APPLICATION DEFINED will allow the integrated application to control
the function.

USING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PEN
The optional Intuos4 Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional
degree of control. With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example,
tilting the Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel adjusts
the spray intensity, and pressure on the tip controls the brush size.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location
for you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to
paint and draw with pressure sensitivity.
Eraser
Side switch
The default settings are:
Windows:
RIGHT CLICK
Macintosh:
DOUBLE CLICK
Fingerwheel
Roll the fingerwheel backwards to increase ink
flow or brush size, and forward to reduce it.
Your index finger should operate the wheel
independently of the pressure you apply to the tip.
Replaceable nib
The optional Intuos4 Art Pen responds to the pressure, tilt, and rotation you apply to the pen.
Eraser
Does not support rotation.
Side switches
The default settings are:
Upper:
DOUBLE CLICK
Lower:
RIGHT CLICK
The Art Pen supports 360 degrees of rotation around the
pen axis. As you draw within an application that
supports rotation sensitivity, simply twist the Art Pen to
create lines that narrow or broaden.
For example, while painting you can vary the rotation of a
non-circular brush to change the stroke thickness.
Depending on the brush shape characteristics you have
selected in your application, you can simulate calligraphy
pens, broad felt tip markers, and any other non-circular
brushes or tools.
Replaceable nib
Important: When the Airbrush or Art Pen is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of
your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an Intuos4 tool on the
tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices.
See product information to learn more about which applications currently support the Airbrush fingerwheel
or Art Pen rotation. See ordering parts and accessories for information on where to purchase an Intuos4
Airbrush or Art Pen.

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.

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-andhold-to-right-click’ features are disabled in the Vista 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.

(qty 1), and flex nib (qty 1).
Intuos4 Inking Pen (KP-130-01). This pressure- and tilt-sensitive drawing pen was created to
provide immediate feedback at your pen tip on the drawing as well as on your computer
screen. The pressure-sensitive Inking Pen comes with inking cartridges and two polyacetal
tips for inkless drawing. It has a pressure-sensitive tip, but no eraser and no side switches.
Includes the following accessories: Pen stand, standard nibs (qty 2), inking nibs (qty 3).
Note: When you purchase an Inking Pen, it comes with a polyacetal nib in the pen. Use the
nib extractor (silver ring) to gently remove the polyacetal nib from the pen. Then insert
one of the silver-colored cartridges that come with the Inking Pen. The cartridge tip
has a waxy coating that you will need to rub off before you can begin inking.
Intuos4 Art Pen (KP-701E-01). This specialty pen provides 360 degrees of barrel rotation
and, like the Intuos4 Grip Pen, is pressure and tilt sensitive. Combining these features with a
unique chisel-shaped nib makes the Intuos4 Art Pen the most realistic tool for emulating
brushes, markers, and calligraphic pens. Includes the following accessories: Pen stand,
chisel tipped nibs (qty 2), chisel tipped felt nibs (qty 2), bullet tipped nibs (qty 3), and bullet
tipped felt nibs (qty 3).
Intuos4 Classic Pen (KP-300E-01). This pen has the same feature set as the Intuos4 Grip
Pen, but with a slimmer profile that does not include a rubberized grip. Includes the
following accessories: Pen stand, standard nib (qty 1), stroke nib (qty 1), hard felt nib (qty 1),
and flex nib (qty 1).

•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not place or leave the pen tablet or input tool(s) within reach of children. If your product is used improperly
there is a potential for accident or human injury. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch.
The pen nib, side switch, or other movable parts may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
Small parts, such as the pen nib or nib refills, pen side switch, or tablet pen stand, can be removed and
accidentally swallowed by children.
Do not use the pen tablet in a facility control system that requires extremely high reliability. It may cause other
electronic devices to malfunction, or other devices may cause the pen tablet to malfunction.
Power off your pen tablet in locations where/when electronic devices are not allowed. Because the pen tablet
may cause other electronic devices to malfunction in some locations where/when the use of electronic devices is
not allowed, such as within an airplane, be sure to turn off the pen tablet by moving the power switch to the off
position. For added security, turn off Bluetooth.
Do not disassemble the pen tablet or input tool(s). Do not disassemble or otherwise modify the pen tablet or input
tool(s). Such action may cause heat generation, ignition, electrical shock, or other damage, including human
injury. Disassembly of the product will void your warranty.
Take note of damaged cabling. If you notice that your pen tablet cabling is torn or otherwise damaged, there is a
potential for product malfunction, electrical shock, or fire. Stop using the product and contact your local
distributor or the Wacom customer support center for your region.
Do not expose this product to water or other liquids. Take care to never spill liquids onto the pen tablet or input
tool(s). Exposing this product to water or other liquids may cause product malfunction or electrical shock. If the
product is exposed to water or other liquids, turn tablet off by moving the power switch to the off position. If your
product is equipped with a power cord, unplug the cord from the wall outlet. When the tablet is connected using
the supplied USB data cable, unplug the USB connector. Power down your computer. Then disconnect any
other cables that may remain between the pen tablet and your computer. Remove the tablet battery. Stop using
the product and contact your local distributor or the Wacom customer support center for your region.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Always follow proper use and handling of the tablet battery:
• Do not abuse the battery in any manner. Puncturing, crushing, heating, exposure to water or fire, disassembly,
shorting the terminals, or other types of abuse may cause the battery to explode or ignite, and potentially cause a
fire or personal injury.
• Use only the correct battery provided by Wacom and be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can
be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help
prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet,
and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet.
• Do not use a battery that is visibly deformed in any manner. A deformed battery has the potential to rupture, or
generate heat, smoke, or fire.
• Do not attempt to install the battery backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so, you may damage the tablet,
cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
• Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet. NEVER attempt to use or charge other battery types in your
tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. Doing so will also void your
warranty.
• Do NOT attempt to charge the tablet battery with any power adapter that does not meet the specifications
required for your Intuos4 tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
Doing so will also void your warranty. You can charge the tablet by connecting it (using the provided USB cable)
to any powered USB port.
• Do not overcharge the tablet battery. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
• If you will be traveling with your wireless tablet, be sure to check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any
air or travel restrictions that may apply to Lithium-Ion batteries.
• If the tablet becomes excessively warm or emits an unusual smell while the battery is charging, immediately
disconnect the USB cable (if in use) and shut down the tablet. The same applies if the tablet is connected to an
after-market power adapter. Contact Wacom Technical Support for assistance (see technical support options).
• If a Li-Ion battery is discharged below a certain minimum charge, it cannot be recharged. An internal protection
circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below a minimum safety level.
• Properly recycle the old battery in accordance with the battery manufacturer recommendations, and follow any
applicable warnings.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.
• When recycling the Li-Ion battery, do not carry it loosely in your pocket or in any container that may contain metal
objects. If transported improperly and metal objects come in contact with the battery terminals, the battery could
short, causing personal injury or fire. It is recommended that you cover the terminals with adhesive tape to
insulate them from possible contact with metal objects.
• If the battery should leak, do not get the fluid in your eye. If battery fluid does enter the eye, do not rub the eye.
Immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.

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.

108
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.

Double-click speed. The maximum time that can pass between clicks and still be accepted as a
double-click.
Eraser-aware application. A software application that has built-in support for the Intuos4 eraser.
These applications take advantage of the eraser in different ways, depending on what makes sense for the
application.
ExpressKeys. The customizable control keys located on your professional pen tablet.
ExpressKeys Left. A tablet ORIENTATION setting where the Touch Ring and ExpressKeys are oriented to the
left of the tablet.

Fingerwheel. The control wheel on the Intuos4 Mouse and optional Airbrush.
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, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser of your Intuos4 pen.
Additionally, your handwritten content is searchable within Journal.
Mapping. The relationship between your Intuos4 tool position on the tablet and the cursor position on the
monitor screen.
Modifier. Modifier keys include SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL for Windows, or SHIFT, CONTROL, COMMAND, and OPTION
for Macintosh. You can customize your Intuos4 tool to simulate a modifier key.
Mouse acceleration. A setting that allows you to adjust the screen cursor acceleration when your Intuos4
tool is in MOUSE MODE.
Mouse mode. A method for positioning the screen cursor. When you place an Intuos4 tool 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, and is the default setting for the Intuos4 Mouse. See also pen mode.
Mouse speed. A setting that allows you to adjust the speed at which your screen cursor moves when your
Intuos4 tool is in MOUSE MODE.
Nib. The replaceable pen tip.
OLED. Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are made up of semi-conductor polymers. OLEDs do not
need a background lighting to function, and thus have a lower power consumption and can be much
thinner than LCD panels.
Pairing. A method of creating a virtual cable link between two Bluetooth enabled devices. Pairing is the
process whereby Intuos4 and the computer discover one another for the “first” time.
Pen mode. A method of positioning the screen cursor. Wherever you place your Intuos4 tool on the tablet,
the screen cursor will appear at the corresponding point on the screen. This is known as absolute
positioning, and is the default setting for all Intuos4 pen tools. 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 Intuos4 pen tip and eraser that senses the amount of pressure being
applied. This is used to create natural-looking pen, brush, and eraser strokes in applications that are
pressure sensitive.
Pressure-sensitive application. Any application that supports pressure-sensitive input.
Proximity. The height above the tablet’s active area where the Intuos4 tools are detected.
See also positioning.

Radial Menu. A hierarchical menu (in radial format). Each level of the menu consists of eight menu slices
which may contain various features and options to choose from. You can customize the buttons of your
Intuos4 tools or tablet to display this menu.
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 Tablet PC Input Panel enables you to use your Intuos4
pen to create handwritten notes or work with an on-screen keyboard. The Input Panel dynamically
converts your handwriting to text. Information you create can then be inserted into other documents,
spreadsheets, or illustrations. See pen and digital ink capabilities in Windows.
Tilt sensitive. A quality of the Intuos4 pen tip and eraser that senses the amount of tilt between the
tool and tablet. This is used to create natural-looking pen, brush, and eraser strokes in applications that
are tilt sensitive.
Tool ID. A unique serial number in each Intuos4 tool. Some graphics applications, such as Corel Painter,
recognize Tool IDs and allow you to assign different settings and brushes to every Intuos4 tool (e.g., two
Grip Pens). Switching between the settings and brushes then becomes as easy as switching between the
two pens.
Touch Ring. The customizable control ring located on your professional pen tablet.
Transceiver. A radio device capable of both transmitting and receiving information.
USB. Universal Serial Bus. A hardware interface standard for connecting computer peripheral devices.
USB ports support hot-plugging, which allows you to disconnect a USB device without turning off your
computer.
Wintab. An interface standard used by Windows applications for receiving tablet information.
Intuos4 supports all Wintab-compatible applications under Windows.

TABLET TO SCREEN MAPPING
Select the MAPPING tab to define the relationship between tool movement on the tablet surface and cursor
movement on the monitor screen.
By default the entire active area of the tablet maps to the entire monitor. If more than one monitor is in use
the tablet will map to all monitors. See working with multiple monitors.
MODE options control how the screen cursor moves. Select PEN MODE to set
the cursor so that its movement corresponds with the position of your
Intuos4 tool on the tablet. Wherever you place your tool on the tablet, the
cursor will appear at a corresponding point on the screen. This is known as
absolute positing and is the default setting for the pen.
Select the ORIENTATION of your
tablet. This setting is tablet
specific, and applies to all tools
and applications. Other MAPPING
tab settings can be customized for
a specific tool and application.
Select a monitor SCREEN AREA for
tablet to screen mapping.
When FORCE PROPORTIONS is
checked, forces a proportional
tablet to screen mapping
relationship.
Select a TABLET AREA for tablet to
screen mapping.
The tablet-to-screen image
dynamically updates to illustrate
the selected mapping relationship.

When MOUSE MODE is selected, you can decide how you would like the mouse to track. (MOUSE TRACKING options
apply only to the Intuos4 Mouse.)
• When USE TABLET ORIENTATION is selected, moving the mouse toward the top of the tablet moves the screen
cursor up. In this mode the entire active area of the tablet is available for mouse tracking.
• When USE MOUSE ORIENTATION is selected, moving the mouse forward moves the screen cursor up. In this
mode a reduced inset portion of the active area is available for mouse tracking. This is the default setting for all
Intuos4 tablets.
Select MOUSE MODE to move the
screen cursor with a “pick up and
slide” motion similar to using a
traditional mouse.
Sets the screen cursor acceleration.
Select a slower or faster screen
cursor tracking speed.

the screen cursor should move up as well. The selected orientation is a global tablet setting and applies to
all applications.
Note: At the log-in and user switching screens, the tablet orientation will use the default orientation that
was selected when the driver was installed. If you want to change the default orientation, you must
reinstall the driver using the Intuos installation CD. See configuring the tablet orientation.

FORCE PROPORTIONS
In the MAPPING tab, check or uncheck the FORCE PROPORTIONS box to determine the tablet to screen
mapping relationship.
When FORCE PROPORTIONS is unchecked, the correct scale or proportions
are not maintained. The selected tablet area is mapped to the selected
display area. Drawing a circle on the tablet may create an ellipse on the
display screen. This is the default setting for all tools.
When FORCE PROPORTIONS is checked, the correct vertical and horizontal
proportions are maintained. Drawing a circle on the tablet results in a circle
on the display screen. Depending on your settings, some portions of the
tablet active area may no longer be usable when this option is selected.
Note: Although Intuos4 is optimized for use with 16 : 10 aspect ratio displays, the default settings
automatically adjust for use with other aspect ratio displays.

FUNCTION NAME
DESCRIPTION
KEYSTROKE...
Enables you to simulate keystrokes. Select this option to display the DEFINE
KEYSTROKE dialog box.
Enter a keystroke or keystroke combination in the KEYS entry box.
Keystroke combinations can include letters, numbers, function keys (such as F3)
and modifier keys (such as SHIFT, ALT, or CTRL for Windows, or SHIFT, OPTION,
COMMAND, and CONTROL for Macintosh).
You can also select special keystrokes or keystroke combinations from the ADD
SPECIAL drop-down menu.
After defining a keystroke sequence, click OK.
Important: Because the ENTER (Windows) and RETURN (Macintosh) keys can be
selected as a defined keystroke, they cannot be used to select OK. You must use
your Intuos4 tool to click on the OK button.
If prompted, enter a name for the keystroke definition. The name will be displayed
with the respective control or in the Radial Menu, as applicable.
You can create different keystroke functions for different applications.
See application-specific settings.

FUNCTION NAME
DESCRIPTION
MODIFIER...
Enables you to simulate modifier key(s) (such as SHIFT, ALT, or CTRL for Windows,
or SHIFT, OPTION, COMMAND, and CONTROL for Macintosh). Many applications use
modifier keys to constrain the size or placement of objects.
Choose one or more modifier key options.
Select the CLICK box if you want a mouse
click to occur whenever you press the tool
button.
RADIAL MENU
Displays a Radial Menu on your screen. Each level of the hierarchical menu
consists of eight menu slices which may contain various features and options to
choose from.
BACK
Simulates the BACK command in browser applications.
FORWARD
Simulates the FORWARD command in browser applications.
PAN/SCROLL
Enables you to position a document or image in any direction within the active
pane by pressing a tablet or pen button set for PAN/SCROLL and then dragging with
the pen tip across the tablet’s active area.
When you select PAN/SCROLL, the PEN
SCROLL SPEED dialog box prompts you to
set a scrolling speed for use in
applications that do not support grabber
hand (pixel-level) panning within a
document or image.
A slower setting reduces the scroll rate
and is useful for close-up and detail work
where you need precise control of the
image.
As you move the pen tip, the document or
image is repositioned to follow the

WORKING WITH DISPLAY TOGGLE
DISPLAY TOGGLE is available only on multiple monitor systems. This feature allows you to work with your
tablet on all displays or on one display at a time. (See working with multiple monitors.)
After setting an ExpressKey to DISPLAY TOGGLE, you can then press that button to sequentially toggle the
current tablet mapping between a base mapping (the current setting from the MAPPING tab) and other
monitors. For example:
1. The entire display area of a multi-monitor system
is set up for extended mode and assigned to the
active area of the Intuos4 tablet.
2. Pressing a tool button to which the DISPLAY
TOGGLE function has been assigned toggles the
tablet mapping to the next display in sequence
Contents
Index

Contents
Index
59
In the Wacom Tablet control panel, the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab is automatically available when the Intuos4
tablet is installed on a multi-monitor system. This tab lets you set which monitor(s) will be included in the
toggle sequence.
On the DISPLAY TOGGLE tab all
monitors are selected in the toggle
sequence by default. Uncheck any
monitor you want removed from the
toggle sequence.
• The base mapping is the tablet
and display mapping that is
defined in the MAPPING tab.
By default, this would include
all monitors unless you have
defined a specific monitor as
your primary monitor in the
MAPPING tab.
• As you toggle to the next
monitor, each tool’s active
tablet area is mapped to that
monitor (in PEN MODE).
• Toggling one more time after
the last checked monitor
returns the system to the base
mapping.
Important: When using application-specific settings with DISPLAY
TOGGLE, be sure that each customized application in the
APPLICATION list (including ALL OTHER) has a tool button assigned to
DISPLAY TOGGLE. The easiest way to do this is to assign DISPLAY
TOGGLE to an ExpressKey prior to creating any application-specific
settings.
Note that any of the following actions will return the toggle sequence to the base mapping:
• Launching a graphics application that supports pressure sensitivity.
• Logging out of or rebooting the system.
• Switching users (Fast User Switching).
• Placing the system in sleep mode.
• Changing the MAPPING or DISPLAY TOGGLE tab settings.
• Changing the resolution or number of displays on your system.
• Using the MODE TOGGLE... function.
• Selecting PEN MODE or MOUSE MODE from the Radial Menu.
Tip: To toggle between monitors without including the ‘full display’ option, disable the first display on the DISPLAY
TOGGLE tab. Then go to the MAPPING tab and set the current SCREEN AREA to the first display.

WORKING WITH MULTIPLE TOOLS
The Wacom Tablet control panel is designed to help you customize and keep track of the settings for your
Intuos4 tools. The tool you use to open the control panel is automatically selected, and the appropriate
tabs for that tool are displayed.
Select a tool to change its settings.
The TOOL list displays an
icon for the tablet
FUNCTIONS and the different
tools that have been used
on the tablet.
If application-specific
settings have not been
added, the ALL icon is
displayed and the tool
settings apply to all
applications.
Tab settings apply only to the
selected tool and application.
Removes the
selected tool.
The button is
inactive when there
is only one item in
the list.
The FUNCTIONS
icon cannot be
deleted.
To add a different tool to the control panel’s TOOL list, simply use the tool on your Intuos4 tablet.
•
When you select a tool that has been added to the TOOL list, the appropriate tab settings for that tool
are displayed. Any changes you make to the tab settings will then apply to that tool. Your changes
take effect immediately.
•
Identical tools will use the same settings.
To remove a selected tool from the TOOL list, click on the TOOL list’s [ – ] button. In the dialog box that
appears, click DELETE to confirm your selection. The selected tool is removed from the list, along with any
custom settings you may have created for it. (A removed tool can be added back to the TOOL list by placing

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC SETTINGS
You can customize your Intuos4 tools for use with a particular application. For example, you may prefer a
firm pen tip pressure setting in one application and a soft pressure setting in another. The APPLICATION list
enables you to add an individual application to the list and then customize your tool settings for that
application.
•
When no application-specific settings have been created and a tool is selected from the TOOL list, the
APPLICATION list displays the ALL icon which contains tool settings that apply to all of your applications.
In the example below, no application-specific settings have been added for the GRIP PEN. The ALL icon
is displayed and the GRIP PEN will have the same settings in all applications.
•
When application-specific settings are added to the APPLICATION list, the ALL icon changes to ALL
OTHER, and an application icon is displayed for the newly added application(s).
In the above example, application-specific settings have been added for the GRIP PEN. If you select the
ALL OTHER icon and make changes to the tab settings, your changes will apply to the GRIP PEN in all
applications except those which you have added to the APPLICATION list. If you select an application
icon and make changes to the tab settings, your changes will apply to the GRIP PEN only while you are
using that application.
When you create application-specific settings, you are creating a separate group of settings for the
selected tool and application. See the following sections for more details:
Creating an application-specific setting
Changing application-specific settings
Removing application-specific settings
Tip: To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set

TESTING YOUR TABLET
Turn on your computer and wait until the system has fully loaded. Ensure that your computer has a
working Bluetooth connection, either through built-in Bluetooth support or a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter
(dongle).
1. Check the tablet connection in USB mode. A tablet status LED will light whenever the tablet is properly
connected via the USB cable and your computer has registered it as a USB device. If an LED does not
glow, then:
•
Verify that the tablet power switch is in the on position.
•
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected to the tablet and to an active USB port on your
computer. Intuos4 requires that you connect to a primary USB port (located directly on your
computer) or to a powered USB hub.
•
If you are connecting the tablet to a powered USB hub, be sure the USB hub is properly connected
to your computer and is active.
•
Connect the tablet to a different powered USB port or try connecting to the powered USB port on
another computer.
•
If a 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.
•
For best results when troubleshooting no power to the tablet (a status LED does not light), plug the
tablet directly into the system USB port located on your computer. Temporarily eliminate any
external hubs in use until you determine that the system recognizes the tablet and that it is
functional. When the tablet is working properly, it is usually okay to then move the tablet to a
powered USB hub.
2. Check the tablet connection in wireless mode. A tablet status LED will light whenever the tablet is
properly connected and your computer has registered it as a Bluetooth enabled device. If an LED does
not glow, then:
•
Verify that the tablet power switch is in the on position.
•
Check the battery power. If the battery status light glows green the battery is charged, if it glows
red the battery charge is low. If your battery charge is low, plug in the USB cable. With the USB
cable properly connected, the battery status light will glow yellow when charging, and a steady
green when fully charged.
•
If the tablet wireless connection light glows a steady blue, your Bluetooth connection is working.
Otherwise, it is not. Open the Bluetooth control panel and make sure the tablet was not
disconnected. If not disconnected, see step 3, following.
•
Switch the tablet power off, then back on.
•
Reset the tablet by disconnecting both the battery and the USB cable (if in use) for at least 10
seconds. Then reconnect the tablet battery and try again.

3. If necessary, troubleshoot the Bluetooth connection as follows:
•
Move the tablet closer to the antenna. Make sure there are no metal or other high density
obstructions in the line of sight between the tablet and Bluetooth antenna.
•
If you are using a computer with a built-in Bluetooth module, ensure it is enabled and working.
If using a USB-to-Bluetooth adapter (dongle), be sure it is plugged into an active USB port on your
computer and working.
•
Verify your Bluetooth support is working properly. Test the functionality with a different Bluetooth
enabled device or check the documentation that came with your Bluetooth support to be sure it is
working correctly.
•
Be sure that your Bluetooth configuration supports Bluetooth and the HID profile.
•
Make another attempt to pair the tablet to your system. See establishing a Bluetooth connection.
4. Check the Grip Pen.
•
Move your pen across the tablet active area; the screen cursor should move in the corresponding
direction on your monitor or display screen.
•
Press the pen tip against the surface of the tablet. A status LED should brighten.
•
Next, without applying pressure to the pen tip, hold the pen tip within approximately 10 mm
(0.39 inch) of the tablet surface and press the side switch. The LED should again brighten.
•
Turn the pen over and press the eraser against the surface of the tablet; the LED should brighten.
•
See testing your tools for detailed information.
5. Check the Touch Ring. See testing your tools.
6. Check the ExpressKeys. See testing your tools.
7. Check any other tool(s), such as the optional Intuos4 Mouse. See testing your tools.
8. If these tests fail, you may have a defective input tool or tablet. See technical support options.
9. After testing, use the Wacom Tablet control panel to reconfigure your tablet and tools for any custom
settings you may originally have been using.

assigned functions or reset the tool to its default condition.
To quickly return a tool to the default settings, remove it from the TOOL list by clicking on the control panel
list’s [ – ] button. After the tool has been removed, place it back onto the tablet. The tool will be added
back to the TOOL list with its default settings.
To test your input tools:
•
In the Wacom Tablet control panel, click on the ABOUT button. In the dialog box that appears, click on
the DIAGNOSE... button. The DIAGNOSTICS dialog box displays to show dynamic information about the
tablet hardware and pointing devices, including the battery status of the currently selected tablet.
•

BATTERY LIFE INFORMATION
All batteries age over time and gradually lose their ability to hold a charge. The typical life span of a Li-Ion
battery is two to three years, whether it is used or not.
You will need to purchase a new tablet battery when it is no longer capable of holding an adequate charge.
For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories. Batteries can also
be purchased at various retail outlets.
•
The life and performance of Li-Ion batteries is not improved by cycling (discharging and recharging) the
batteries.
•
Cool storage and keeping the battery in a partially (not fully) charged state when not in use can slow the
aging process.
•
Always charge your tablet battery whenever the low battery warning appears on your display screen, or
at the latest when the tablet battery status light begins to flash red. To reduce the power consumption
of an empty battery, the tablet will enter an auto shut-down state whenever the battery level is very low.
In this state the tablet will continue to draw a small amount of power. The power switch must be turned
off and the battery must be recharged.
•
The tablet will draw current from the battery whenever the power switch is in the on position. A small
current is drawn even in auto sleep and tablet auto shut-down modes, and will slowly discharge the
battery. It is a good idea to charge the battery and move the tablet power switch to the off position
before leaving the tablet unused for a number of days.
•
If the battery charge is low and the battery remains in the tablet for a long period of time (a week or
longer) with the power switch in the on position, the small trickle of current used by the tablet is likely to
discharge the battery so far that an internal protection circuit within the battery is activated. If this
occurs you will no longer be able to charge the battery. To preserve your battery, be sure to move the
tablet power switch to the off position before leaving the tablet unused for a week or longer.
•
For extended storage (a month or longer), Wacom recommends that the battery be at least half full
before you move the power switch to the off position. You do not need to remove the battery because
the power switch disconnects the battery from the tablet circuit when in the off position.
•
An internal protection circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below
a minimum safety level. Once a Li-Ion battery has been over-discharged it cannot be recharged.
Warning: See the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion batteries.

REPLACING THE TABLET BATTERY
If your tablet battery has exceeded its life span and can no longer be charged or no longer holds a charge,
it will need to be replaced. Be sure to use only the rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery designed for
your tablet. For information on ordering a replacement battery, see ordering parts and accessories.
Batteries can also be purchased at various retail outlets.
Important: Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet.
To replace the tablet battery:
1. Turn the wireless tablet upside down and open the battery cover. Use your fingernail to press inward on
the latch bar and flip the cover outward to open.
2. Carefully remove the old tablet battery.
3. Align the battery terminals of the new battery with the spring-loaded tablet contacts, and press the
battery into the compartment as shown. To avoid damaging your tablet, first insert the terminal end of
the battery.
4. Close the battery cover.
Important: When replacing the tablet battery,
be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces.
The battery can be damaged internally when
dropped, and should be replaced even if
there is no obvious damage. This will help
prevent any future damage that could occur
to the tablet if the battery has been dropped,
is installed in the tablet, and then later
develops a short or leak while in the tablet.
Warning: See the safety precautions for
Lithium-Ion batteries.
Many communities offer voluntary or mandatory recycling programs for batteries. Properly recycle the old
battery by following all applicable laws, and in accordance with the safety precautions for Lithium-Ion
batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.
CARING FOR YOUR TABLET AND TOOLS
Keep your Intuos4 tools and tablet surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to your tools 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 tools; 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, because they may damage the plastic case.
Keep your tablet and tools in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is
best. Also, your tools 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 input tools. Be especially careful of getting the
tablet or tool buttons (including the pen tip and eraser) wet – they contain sensitive electronic parts that will
fail if liquids enter them.

REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. Replace the
nib when it gets too short (less than 1 mm (0.04 inch)) or develops a flat point.
1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib extraction tool and replacement nibs.
Nib extractor
Replacement nibs
• 5 standard nibs, black
• 1 flex nib, white and black
• 1 stroke nib, white
• 3 hard felt nibs, gray
2. Clasp the old nib with the nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar
instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.
3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
Pen nib
1 mm (0.04 inch) or less.
Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with the
Intuos4 pen or Airbrush. They are installed in the same manner as a standard pen nib.
Warning: Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib
or side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
To order replacement parts, see available parts and accessories.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. When the
optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. Leaving the pen on the tablet can prevent the tablet
from switching off and cause the battery to discharge.
To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest on their
tip or eraser.
If you find it inconvenient to use the desktop pen stand, you can also attach the pen holder to the tablet
and place the pen in the holder loop for safe-keeping.

ExpressKeys display as follows:
1 minute no user input:
Low brightness
2.5 minutes no user input:
No illumination, ExpressKeys display
Low brightness, Touch Ring status LEDs
Active user input:
Returns brightness to set level
The PRESSURE COMPATIBILITY check box should be checked if you are using graphics applications that only
support a maximum of 1024 levels of pressure (such as Adobe CS3, Corel Painter 9, and other older
applications). If not checked, the pen will feel overly sensitive when using these older applications.
By default the SHOW WIRELESS TABLET BATTERY STATUS check box is set to display the Wacom icon in your system

OPTIMIZING THE EXPRESSKEYS DISPLAY
The pen tablet ExpressKeys display uses Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs). Although the display has
been designed to provide reliable performance for many years, you may eventually notice a decrease in
luminosity for pixels that are lit over extended periods of time. To minimize the appearance of different
pixel brightnesses due to this effect, adjust the EXPRESSKEY DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS option to the lowest
comfortable light level. See advanced options for details.
Note: The power saving feature of the pen tablet will automatically dim the ExpressKeys display if there
has been no user input for 1 minute, and it will turn off the ExpressKeys display if the pen tablet has
been idle for 2.5 minutes.
USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROL
Some software applications may be designed to directly control the pen tablet ExpressKeys or Touch Ring
function(s). When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or
Touch Ring may perform a different function than what is currently set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.
•
When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKeys display will automatically
update to show either the new function name or “Application Defined”. Some or all of the ExpressKeys
may be overridden, depending on the application.
•
When an application overrides the Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application
overrides only one, two, or three of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set
to SKIP.
•
An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring only when that application is
active and in the foreground. When you close that application (or select a new application pane to work
in), your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.
•
To review the ExpressKeys or Touch Ring function settings for the current front-most application, set an
ExpressKey to SHOW SETTINGS and press the key at any time.
Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to optout or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom tablet with the application. See the
documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to
customize or disable this feature.
If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation does not describe how to disable this behavior,
you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings which will override the
behavior of the integrated application.
Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting an
ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to APPLICATION DEFINED will allow the integrated application to control
the function.

USING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PEN
The optional Intuos4 Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional
degree of control. With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example,
tilting the Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel adjusts
the spray intensity, and pressure on the tip controls the brush size.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location
for you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to
paint and draw with pressure sensitivity.
Eraser
Side switch
The default settings are:
Windows:
RIGHT CLICK
Macintosh:
DOUBLE CLICK
Fingerwheel
Roll the fingerwheel backwards to increase ink
flow or brush size, and forward to reduce it.
Your index finger should operate the wheel
independently of the pressure you apply to the tip.
Replaceable nib
The optional Intuos4 Art Pen responds to the pressure, tilt, and rotation you apply to the pen.
Eraser
Does not support rotation.
Side switches
The default settings are:
Upper:
DOUBLE CLICK
Lower:
RIGHT CLICK
The Art Pen supports 360 degrees of rotation around the
pen axis. As you draw within an application that
supports rotation sensitivity, simply twist the Art Pen to
create lines that narrow or broaden.
For example, while painting you can vary the rotation of a
non-circular brush to change the stroke thickness.
Depending on the brush shape characteristics you have
selected in your application, you can simulate calligraphy
pens, broad felt tip markers, and any other non-circular
brushes or tools.
Replaceable nib
Important: When the Airbrush or Art Pen is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of
your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an Intuos4 tool on the
tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices.
See product information to learn more about which applications currently support the Airbrush fingerwheel
or Art Pen rotation. See ordering parts and accessories for information on where to purchase an Intuos4
Airbrush or Art Pen.

PEN AND DIGITAL INK CAPABILITIES IN WINDOWS
Microsoft Windows 7 and Vista provide extensive support for pen* and touch input. When using the
professional pen tablet 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 Intuos4 pen.
•
Note taking. Use your Intuos4 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, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser
of your Intuos4 pen. 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 Intuos4 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 Intuos4 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 Intuos4 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-andhold-to-right-click’ features are disabled in the Vista 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.

AVAILABLE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Intuos4 Grip Pen (KP-501E-01). Sensitive to pressure and tilt, the Grip Pen is an all-purpose
tool for drawing, erasing, and mouse operations. The easy-to-use DuoSwitch gives you two
programmable switch functions. The pressure-sensitive pen has an ergonomically waisted
grip area, optimum weight and balance, and superior tip sensitivity, making it the most
natural freehand tool. Includes the following accessories: Pen stand, standard nib (qty 1),
stroke nib (qty 1), hard felt nib (qty 1), and flex nib (qty 1).
Intuos4 Mouse (KC-100). Cordless and battery free, the five button mouse is an ideal tool for
performing any task you may have done previously with a standard mouse. It includes an
integrated middle button and rolling fingerwheel that can be used for up and down scrolling,
or the button can be programmed for a variety of other actions.
Intuos4 Airbrush (KP-400E-01). A true digital airbrush, the pressure-sensitive Intuos4
Airbrush incorporates a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, tilt sensitivity, and a fingerwheel
that provides an additional degree of control over the application of digital paint. Includes
the following accessories: Pen stand, standard nib (qty 1), stroke nib (qty 1), hard felt nib
(qty 1), and flex nib (qty 1).
Intuos4 Inking Pen (KP-130-01). This pressure- and tilt-sensitive drawing pen was created to
provide immediate feedback at your pen tip on the drawing as well as on your computer
screen. The pressure-sensitive Inking Pen comes with inking cartridges and two polyacetal
tips for inkless drawing. It has a pressure-sensitive tip, but no eraser and no side switches.
Includes the following accessories: Pen stand, standard nibs (qty 2), inking nibs (qty 3).

one of the silver-colored cartridges that come with the Inking Pen. The cartridge tip
has a waxy coating that you will need to rub off before you can begin inking.
Intuos4 Art Pen (KP-701E-01). This specialty pen provides 360 degrees of barrel rotation
and, like the Intuos4 Grip Pen, is pressure and tilt sensitive. Combining these features with a
unique chisel-shaped nib makes the Intuos4 Art Pen the most realistic tool for emulating
brushes, markers, and calligraphic pens. Includes the following accessories: Pen stand,
chisel tipped nibs (qty 2), chisel tipped felt nibs (qty 2), bullet tipped nibs (qty 3), and bullet
tipped felt nibs (qty 3).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
Always follow proper use and handling of the tablet battery:
• Do not abuse the battery in any manner. Puncturing, crushing, heating, exposure to water or fire, disassembly,
shorting the terminals, or other types of abuse may cause the battery to explode or ignite, and potentially cause a
fire or personal injury.
• Use only the correct battery provided by Wacom and be careful not to drop it on hard surfaces. The battery can
be damaged internally when dropped, and should be replaced even if there is no obvious damage. This will help
prevent any future damage that could occur to the tablet if the battery has been dropped, is installed in the tablet,
and then later develops a short or leak while in the tablet.
• Do not use a battery that is visibly deformed in any manner. A deformed battery has the potential to rupture, or
generate heat, smoke, or fire.
• Do not attempt to install the battery backwards or reverse the polarity. If you do so, you may damage the tablet,
cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
• Only use a Wacom battery specified for your tablet. NEVER attempt to use or charge other battery types in your
tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result. Doing so will also void your
warranty.
• Do NOT attempt to charge the tablet battery with any power adapter that does not meet the specifications
required for your Intuos4 tablet. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
Doing so will also void your warranty. You can charge the tablet by connecting it (using the provided USB cable)
to any powered USB port.
• Do not overcharge the tablet battery. Doing so may damage the tablet, cause a fire, or personal injury may result.
• If you will be traveling with your wireless tablet, be sure to check with the appropriate regulatory authority for any
air or travel restrictions that may apply to Lithium-Ion batteries.
• If the tablet becomes excessively warm or emits an unusual smell while the battery is charging, immediately
disconnect the USB cable (if in use) and shut down the tablet. The same applies if the tablet is connected to an
after-market power adapter. Contact Wacom Technical Support for assistance (see technical support options).
• If a Li-Ion battery is discharged below a certain minimum charge, it cannot be recharged. An internal protection
circuit within the battery prevents any charging once the voltage has fallen below a minimum safety level.
• Properly recycle the old battery in accordance with the battery manufacturer recommendations, and follow any
applicable warnings.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children, and promptly recycle old batteries.
• When recycling the Li-Ion battery, do not carry it loosely in your pocket or in any container that may contain metal
objects. If transported improperly and metal objects come in contact with the battery terminals, the battery could
short, causing personal injury or fire. It is recommended that you cover the terminals with adhesive tape to
insulate them from possible contact with metal objects.
• If the battery should leak, do not get the fluid in your eye. If battery fluid does enter the eye, do not rub the eye.
Immediately rinse the affected eye with water and seek medical attention.

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.

108
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 Intuos4 tools are detected.
Application-specific settings. Intuos4 tool and tablet settings that have been customized for individual
applications. The Wacom Tablet control panel enables you to customize a tool to behave uniquely in
different applications. Application-specific settings are in effect whenever you use the application.
Aspect. The ratio between the vertical and horizontal dimension of the tablet or display.
Bluetooth. A standardized wireless technology and Specification. Manufacturers build Bluetooth wireless
technology into their products in order to create Bluetooth enabled devices, providing seamless voice and
data connections between a variety of wireless devices operating at short range to one another.
Click force. The amount of force you must apply to the pen tip for a click to occur.
Digital Ink. A broad category that typically describes handwritten content which as 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 applications settings, the handwritten text you make
with digital ink can be converted on-the-fly or at another time.
Discoverable mode. An operational state in which a Bluetooth enabled device is available for discovery by
another Bluetooth enabled device.
Display Toggle. An Intuos4 feature that allows you to work with your tablet on all displays or on one display
at a time. Available only on multiple monitor systems. See working with Display Toggle for more
information.
Double-click assist. A function of the Wacom Tablet control panel that makes it easier to double-click by
setting the size of the double-click distance.
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.
Double-click speed. The maximum time that can pass between clicks and still be accepted as a
double-click.
Eraser-aware application. A software application that has built-in support for the Intuos4 eraser.
These applications take advantage of the eraser in different ways, depending on what makes sense for the
application.

Fingerwheel. The control wheel on the Intuos4 Mouse and optional Airbrush.
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, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser of your Intuos4 pen.
Additionally, your handwritten content is searchable within Journal.
Mapping. The relationship between your Intuos4 tool position on the tablet and the cursor position on the
monitor screen.
Modifier. Modifier keys include SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL for Windows, or SHIFT, CONTROL, COMMAND, and OPTION
for Macintosh. You can customize your Intuos4 tool to simulate a modifier key.
Mouse acceleration. A setting that allows you to adjust the screen cursor acceleration when your Intuos4
tool is in MOUSE MODE.
Mouse mode. A method for positioning the screen cursor. When you place an Intuos4 tool 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, and is the default setting for the Intuos4 Mouse. See also pen mode.
Mouse speed. A setting that allows you to adjust the speed at which your screen cursor moves when your
Intuos4 tool is in MOUSE MODE.
Nib. The replaceable pen tip.
OLED. Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are made up of semi-conductor polymers. OLEDs do not
need a background lighting to function, and thus have a lower power consumption and can be much
thinner than LCD panels.
Pairing. A method of creating a virtual cable link between two Bluetooth enabled devices. Pairing is the
process whereby Intuos4 and the computer discover one another for the “first” time.
Pen mode. A method of positioning the screen cursor. Wherever you place your Intuos4 tool on the tablet,
the screen cursor will appear at the corresponding point on the screen. This is known as absolute
positioning, and is the default setting for all Intuos4 pen tools. 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 Intuos4 pen tip and eraser that senses the amount of pressure being
applied. This is used to create natural-looking pen, brush, and eraser strokes in applications that are
pressure sensitive.
Pressure-sensitive application. Any application that supports pressure-sensitive input.
Proximity. The height above the tablet’s active area where the Intuos4 tools are detected.
See also positioning.

Radial Menu. A hierarchical menu (in radial format). Each level of the menu consists of eight menu slices
which may contain various features and options to choose from. You can customize the buttons of your
Intuos4 tools or tablet to display this menu.
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 Tablet PC Input Panel enables you to use your Intuos4
pen to create handwritten notes or work with an on-screen keyboard. The Input Panel dynamically
converts your handwriting to text. Information you create can then be inserted into other documents,
spreadsheets, or illustrations. See pen and digital ink capabilities in Windows.
Tilt sensitive. A quality of the Intuos4 pen tip and eraser that senses the amount of tilt between the
tool and tablet. This is used to create natural-looking pen, brush, and eraser strokes in applications that
are tilt sensitive.
Tool ID. A unique serial number in each Intuos4 tool. Some graphics applications, such as Corel Painter,
recognize Tool IDs and allow you to assign different settings and brushes to every Intuos4 tool (e.g., two
Grip Pens). Switching between the settings and brushes then becomes as easy as switching between the
two pens.
Touch Ring. The customizable control ring located on your professional pen tablet.
Transceiver. A radio device capable of both transmitting and receiving information.
USB. Universal Serial Bus. A hardware interface standard for connecting computer peripheral devices.
USB ports support hot-plugging, which allows you to disconnect a USB device without turning off your
computer.
Wintab. An interface standard used by Windows applications for receiving tablet information.
Intuos4 supports all Wintab-compatible applications under Windows.
