Included Software
Set UpHere are the screens in the Control Panel (Windows) and system Preferences (Mac) for setting up the new Bamboo line. These screen shots were taken from a MacBook. To get to these screens the drivers for your tablet must be installed! This is the main screen where the pen settings are located.
This is the orientation and side buttons screen. If you are a lefty choose Left Handed and if you are a righty choose Right Handed. This will place the Express Keys under your non dominant hand and the dominant had will use the pen or do the gestures. This is where you set the Speed of the Pointer, the Pointer Acceleration, the Double-Tap time and the Scrolling Speed for the Gestures. The fun screen - hover the mouse over each gesture and the right panel will demonstrate how that gesture works. You can turn off any gesture you wish and it is a good idea to watch the tutorial. Many users are now using the Multi Touch feature rather than their mouse or trackpad. If one of the pen buttons or side buttons is set to Pop-Up Menu this is where it is programmed. There you go - the new Bamboo Touch line of really great tablets! |
