SETTING UP YOUR BAMBOO
To minimize fatigue, comfortably organize your work area. Position your tablet, pen (if equipped), and
keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. Adjust your monitor so you can view it
comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain. For best results, position the tablet so the screen cursor follows
the same direction as your hand movements on the tablet.
