USING YOUR BAMBOO

If you are new to using Bamboo, read the following sections.

THE TOUCH EXPERIENCE WITH BAMBOO

Bamboo is designed to enhance the way you work. Touch input enables you to interact with a computer 
using only your fingertips on the Bamboo tablet.

First learn the basic actions to navigate and perform typical mouse operations. Then learn the gestural 
movements to control other functions such as scrolling, zooming, and rotating.

Touch input is activated whenever you touch the tablet 

.

•

When using multi-finger input methods, you can generally position your fingers as far apart as is 
comfortable. Your fingers must remain within the active area. However, placing your fingers too closely 
together may be interpreted by the tablet as input from a single finger, or the tablet may confuse which 
finger initiated or performed an action or gesture.

•

As you learn the different input methods, experiment with what works best for you. Take care to prevent 
accidental touch input. For example, if your small finger or the palm of your hand touches the active 
area of the tablet while you are navigating or performing a touch action, then your input may be 
interrupted or you may trigger an unanticipated right-click.

Note: For tablet models that support both pen and touch input, the pen disengages touch input whenever 

the pen tip or eraser is within the tablet 

. Lift the pen and your hand away from the 

tablet active area to enable touch input.
