Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The GAOMON M106K PRO is a professional battery-free drawing tablet designed to enhance work efficiency for painting and creative tasks, offering a natural and immersive experience akin to drawing on paper. This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for understanding and utilizing the tablet's various functions, primarily focusing on Windows systems, with applicable information for Mac and Android users unless specified otherwise.

Function Description

The GAOMON M106K PRO functions as a graphics tablet that translates pen movements and pressure into digital input on a connected computer or Android device. It features a battery-free digital pen (AP32) that eliminates the need for charging, ensuring uninterrupted creative flow. The tablet is equipped with both Express Keys and Soft Keys, which are programmable to execute various commands and shortcuts, thereby streamlining workflows and enhancing user convenience. The core functionality revolves around its active working area, where the digital pen interacts with the tablet surface to control the cursor and create digital artwork.

The device supports multiple operating systems, including Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.12 or later, and Android 6.0 or later, making it versatile for a wide range of users and setups. The driver software, downloadable from the GAOMON website, is crucial for the tablet's proper operation, enabling features such as pressure sensitivity adjustment, customizable shortcut keys, and specialized modes like mouse mode and Windows Ink.

Usage Features

The M106K PRO offers a rich set of features designed to optimize the user experience:

• Tablet Connection: The tablet connects to a computer via a Mini USB cable. For Android phones and tablets, an OTG adapter is used, and the device automatically enters "phone mode" upon connection, with a dedicated working area for mobile use.
• Driver Installation: A dedicated driver ensures the tablet's full functionality. The driver icon in the system tray indicates successful installation and device recognition. Users are advised to uninstall other similar drivers and close graphics/anti-virus software before installation to prevent conflicts.
• Android Compatibility: When connected to an Android phone or tablet (OS 6.0 or later), the tablet operates in portrait mode. Some Android devices may require enabling the "OTG" function in their settings. The pen's active area is automatically adjusted for phone mode. If the tablet fails to recognize phone mode, a specific button combination can be pressed to activate it.
• Digital Pen (AP32): The battery-free pen features an upper button (default: right mouse key), a lower button (default: eraser function), and a pen nib (default: left mouse key). These buttons are programmable through the driver interface.
• Working Area Setting: Users can define the relationship between pen movement on the tablet and cursor movement on the monitor. In a multi-monitor setup (extended mode), the user can select which monitor the tablet maps to. In mirror mode, the tablet maps to the entire space of each monitor. A "Custom Area" option allows users to precisely define the tablet's active area by entering coordinate values or dragging graphic corners.
• Rotate Working Area: This feature allows users to rotate the tablet's working area by 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270° to accommodate left-handed or right-handed operation, providing flexibility and comfort.
• Shortcuts Keys Function Setting: The tablet includes both Express Keys and Soft Keys. These keys are fully customizable. Users can assign various functions, including keyboard combination keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Win), mouse button functions (left, middle, right, double-left click, wheel forward/backward), and switch functions (switch screen, switch brush). There's also an option to run specific programs directly from a shortcut key. Default settings can be restored, and keys can be enabled or disabled.
• Pen Buttons Function Setting: Similar to the tablet's shortcut keys, the digital pen's buttons are programmable. Users can assign keyboard combinations, mouse functions, or switch functions to the upper and lower buttons of the pen.
• Pressure Sensitivity Setting: The driver allows for fine-tuning the pen's pressure sensitivity. By dragging a slider, users can adjust how the tablet responds to varying levels of pressure applied to the pen nib. A smaller value typically results in higher pressure sensitivity.
• Pen Pressure Testing: A dedicated testing area within the driver interface allows users to gradually apply pressure to the stylus and observe the pressure level feedback, helping them to calibrate the sensitivity to their preference.
• Windows Ink Feature: The tablet supports Microsoft Windows Ink, which provides extensive pen input support in applications like Microsoft Office, Windows Journal, Adobe Photoshop CC, and SketchBook 6. This feature can be enabled or disabled in the driver settings.
• Mouse Mode: When enabled, the tablet operates like a traditional mouse, where cursor movement follows the relative coordinate principle. This allows users to navigate the screen and click icons without needing to move the pen to the edge of the working area.
• Data Export and Import: The driver supports exporting and importing custom configuration data. This feature is useful for users who switch between different software or devices, as it prevents the need for repeated settings adjustments.

Maintenance Features

The GAOMON M106K PRO is designed for ease of use and longevity, with simple maintenance procedures:

• Pen Nib Replacement: Over time, the pen nib will wear off. The manual provides clear instructions for replacing the nib using the included pen nib clip. Users simply pull out the old nib and insert a new one until it stops, ensuring the pen maintains optimal performance.
• Driver Updates: While not explicitly detailed as a maintenance feature, keeping the driver updated by downloading the latest version from the GAOMON website is crucial for optimal performance, bug fixes, and compatibility with new operating system versions or software.
• Troubleshooting: The manual directs users to the GAOMON blog and question pages for FAQs and troubleshooting assistance, providing resources for resolving common issues.
• Customer Support: GAOMON offers after-sales service through various channels, including Facebook, Twitter, email, and their official website, ensuring users can get help with any problems or inquiries.
