4. Maintenance Features

The WP9612 Graphics Tablet is a device designed for handwriting input, drawing, and general computer interaction, offering pressure sensitivity for a more natural creative experience. It connects to a computer via a USB cable and is compatible with Windows 7 and above, as well as Mac OS 10 and above.

Function Description

The primary function of the WP9612 Graphics Tablet is to provide a digital surface for handwriting input and drawing. When connected to a computer, the tablet allows users to control the mouse cursor directly within its effective working area. Movement of the pressure-sensitive pen on the tablet translates to cursor movement on the screen. The tablet also supports online teaching when used with appropriate teaching software.

A key feature is its pressure sensitivity. When drawing, the thickness or lightness of the handwriting changes based on the pressure applied by the pen. This allows for a more expressive and natural drawing experience, simulating various strokes like pencil, marker, watercolor pen, brush, and oil brush when combined with drawing software such as Photoshop, Painter, or SketchBook.

The tablet includes hardware keys that function similarly to keyboard keys. There are three default keys, and users can customize any key function or key combination. When these three keys are pressed, the computer screen displays their key code values.

The pen itself has several functions:

• Pointer Function: In the effective working area, the pen directly controls the mouse cursor. Outside this area, it is inactive.
• Tip Double-click: Double-clicking the pen on the tablet's working area is equivalent to a left mouse button double-click. For the first touch, a second pen touch should be executed as soon as possible.
• Hardware Button Function: The pen has two buttons. The pen tip acts as the left mouse button. The first button defaults to the letter "E," and the second button defaults to the right mouse button.
• Page Scrolling Function: By setting the first pen button as the middle mouse button, users can scroll pages by moving the pen within the tablet's effective working area.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific numerical technical specifications like resolution or report rate are not detailed in the provided text, the manual highlights several important aspects:

• System Requirements: Windows 7 and above, or Mac OS 10 and above.
• Driver Installation: Requires closing all painting and anti-virus software before installation. A restart of the computer is necessary after installation.
• Storage: Requires at least 24.3 MB of free disk space for Windows installation.
• Pen Charging: The pen is rechargeable via a USB cable. A red indicator light signifies charging, and it turns off when fully charged.
• Pen Sleep Mode: The pen enters sleep mode after approximately 4 minutes of inactivity and can be awoken by drawing.
• Pen Calibration: A calibration guide is provided to ensure proper pen functionality, involving holding three buttons on the tablet until a red indicator light highlights, then positioning the pen tip near the screen without touching it. Successful calibration is indicated by the light turning green.
• Connection: USB cable connection to the computer.
• LED Indicator Light: Provides visual feedback on the tablet's status:
  • Half yellow light: Connected to the computer.
  • Highlighted yellow: Pen detected in the work area or pen button pressed.
  • On (until pen leaves or button released): Pen presses the tablet or a pen button in the working area.

Usage Features

The WP9612 Graphics Tablet offers several features to enhance usability:

• Work Area Settings: Users can define the relationship between pen movement on the tablet and cursor movement on the display screen.
  • Multiple Monitors: When using multiple monitors, the tablet can map to each monitor in mirror mode. In extended mode, users select the specific display screen for mapping.
  • Set Work Area: The pen's operating area can be set to the full board, by proportions to the screen, or by specific input values. "Full Area" may not maintain correct scale, potentially creating ellipses when drawing circles. "Display Ratio" maintains vertical and horizontal proportions, ensuring circles are drawn as circles, though parts of the active area may become unavailable.
  • Relate Set: Allows changing the tablet's orientation (up, down, left, right).
• Press Keys Settings: The tablet's hardware keys can be customized. Users can view default values by clicking on the key icon and enable/disable shortcuts.
• Pen Settings:
  • Button Settings: Default pen button functions (first button "E", second button right mouse button) can be customized.
  • Pen Mode vs. Mouse Mode: In pen mode, the cursor jumps to the corresponding point on the screen. In mouse mode, the cursor moves by picking up and sliding, similar to a traditional mouse.
  • Tip Feel: A slider allows adjustment of pressure sensitivity for lighter or firmer contact.
  • Current Pressure: A gauge displays the amount of pressure applied to the nib, useful for testing settings.
  • Nib Spacing when Double-clicking: A slider adjusts the double-click spacing, making it easier to double-click.
  • Start Windows Ink: Enables compatibility with Windows Ink-enabled drawing and Office software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop, Sketchbook, Microsoft Office, Windows diary).
• Export and Import Settings: The driver supports exporting and importing custom configuration data, saving users from repeatedly setting preferences when using different software.

Maintenance Features

The manual outlines several maintenance and troubleshooting aspects:

• Replacing the Refill: Instructions are provided for removing the old pen tip using a clip and inserting a new one.
• Unloading Driver: For Windows, the driver can be uninstalled via the start menu or control panel. For Mac, it can be removed to trash.
• Troubleshooting:
  • Tablet not working: Check pen power, driver installation, and USB cable connection. Reinstall driver if necessary.
  • Pen not working: Ensure pen is fully charged, compatible with the product, and calibrated. Verify driver installation.
  • Keyboard shortcuts not working: Confirm shortcut function is enabled in the driver and key functions are correctly defined.
  • No pressure in drawing software: This can be caused by other tablet drivers or by having drawing software open during installation. The solution is to uninstall other drivers, reinstall the tablet driver, and then open drawing software.
  • Computer not going to sleep: Avoid placing the pen on the tablet surface when not in use, as this keeps the tablet awake.
  • Pen keys not working: Ensure the pen tip is touching the tablet surface or is within 14mm of it when pressing buttons.
  • Delay in Windows 7: Turn off the default pen program that comes with Windows 7 after driver installation to avoid drawing delays.
  • Photoshop delay: If "use the graphics processor" is enabled in Photoshop without sufficient memory (8GB) or graphics support, disable it in Photoshop's preferences (Edit > Preferences > Performance). Restart Photoshop afterward.
  • Device Reset: If the device is unresponsive, insert a pin into the "RESET" hole for 3 seconds.
  • Power Off (USB connection mode): Unplug the cable, then press the power button for 3 seconds to power off.

The WP9612 Graphics Tablet is designed to be a versatile and user-friendly tool for digital artists and those requiring precise input, with comprehensive settings for customization and troubleshooting guidance to ensure a smooth experience.
