CONFIGURING THE TABLET ORIENTATION

When you first installed Intuos5, you were prompted to choose a default tablet orientation. The orientation

you chose was used to determine the tablet default settings.

However, you can easily reconfigure Intuos5 for left- or right-handed users at any time. ExpressKey and

Touch Ring settings are automatically reconfigured when you change the handedness setting.

Note: This procedure does not affect the default orientation. At the system log on and user switching

screens, the tablet uses the default orientation you chose during the install process. To change the

default orientation, you must re-install the tablet driver.

Right-handed operation:

• Open the Wacom Tablet control panel

and select the MAPPING tab.

Choose the E

XPRESSKEYS LEFT orientation option. The tablet driver

automatically configures all aspects of the tablet (including the

Wacom Tablet control panel options) for correct right-handed use.

• Next, physically rotate your tablet so the tablet ExpressKeys are

positioned to the left. See also USB cable installation

.

Verify that you have correctly set the orientation by moving the pen
