WORKING WITH THE TABLET
The middle area of the tablet is the working, or active, area for the pen and cordless mouse.  Rest your hand 
on the tablet and then work with the pen on the active area of the tablet just as if you were using a ball point 
pen on a piece of paper.  Wherever you place your pen on the tablet active area, the screen cursor will jump 
to the corresponding point on the screen.  See using the cordless pen and using the cordless mouse for 
more information.
Your tablet also features a customizable Touch Ring and ExpressKeys for frequently used functions.
Touch Ring.  Slide your finger over 
the Touch Ring to zoom or scroll.  
By default the Touch Ring is set for 
zoom functionality.
Move your finger clockwise to 
zoom in on a document or 
image.
Move your finger 
counterclockwise to zoom out.
ExpressKeys.  Press the customizable 
ExpressKeys to perform frequently used functions 
or keystrokes, or to emulate button clicks or modifier 
keys.
ExpressKeys can be used separately or in 
combination with your Bamboo Fun pen.  
For example, you can set a pair of keys to  
commonly used keystrokes, such as  [  and  ]  to 
decrease and increase your brush size in 
Photoshop.  In this manner you can change the 
properties of your pen as you work without 
removing your hands from the tablet.
By default, the upper keys are set to move 
F
