How to set my Bamboo Fun to work only on ONE of my dual screens?

What worked for me: I have a laptop, and often plug into my desktop monitor. I use the bamboo to take notes while watching lectures.

  1. Open bamboo preferences
  2. Select "Pen" tab
  3. While in "Pen Mode" select the "Mapping" button
  4. Pen Mode Details comes up. Select "Monitor" bullet. On the counter to the right, select which monitor you would like bamboo to use. Most of the time your default monitor is 1.
  5. Click Ok and you should be all set.

Using Windows Journal the eraser tool (but not the pen) acts as if it is still going between two screens, therefore you can only erase half of the page (the graphics are also not lined up with the operations). I am not sure if this applies to any other programs, but it is a likely a glitch in the drivers.


On Windows PCs you go in to Bamboo Preferences then click Details in the Tracking options on the right.

Next, select Monitor in the Screen Area section.

After that just change the number in the window to pick the monitor you want your pen to stay on.
