same! pls let me know how u solved

I bought "displayport reduce" (I hope It is called like that in english) - becouse in my graphic card there is only one HDMI port and one displayport. I put it in displayport and then put in it HDMI cabel from tablet. Now it works as second monitor. ;) @@Hazelfried

Thank you so much for the compliment, and we're so glad to hear it helped! We're also glad to hear that your computer was spared 😉

Have you set the tablet as "Extend these displays"? It's the step covered at 1:05 in the video.

I just hadn't dragged the Clipstudio to the other screen and adjusted the pen preferences in the huion settings lol XD@@bscteachinglearningcenter

Use this link: www.xp-pen.com/download

It sounds like your screen settings are set to "mirror" instead of "extend this display." You need to find your screen settings on your PC and change your 2nd screen to "extend this display" which is shown at 1:30 in this video.

@@bscteachinglearningcenter It is extended and it enables to use Xp-Pen tablet as another monitor, but when you try to draw something, it places mouse from stylus on your laptop screen, not on tablet

You need to open XP--Pen app and inside you can choose screen on which the stylus will appear

You might have to look into a cable converter. I don't personally know if there is such a thing as an HDMI-to-HDMI 2.0, but it might be worth looking into.

@@bscteachinglearningcenter With a little tinkering, I now successfully have a 3-monitor setup lol. It’s very convenient and the Xp Pen is pretty good actually to use as a third monitor. Better quality than I thought it would be.

@@MamaMia84oo7 Awesome! That sounds like a rad setup!

Thank you, Red Wolf0211! Glad it helped!

It just shows my home screen without any icons

Have you clicked and dragged an open design application (Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Gimp, etc.) from your desktop to your tablet?

I've never used an app for sketching/drawing people, but a few apps that I know of with the ability to sketch and draw are Photoshop, Gimp, Affinity Photo, etc.

Hi Laderia, once your XP-Pen is completely connected and working, you'll need to open an app that has drawing capabilities and drag it to the screen of your XP-Pen. This means you'll need to already have something link Photoshop, Gimp, Affinity Photo, etc installed on your computer.

Try looking for the driver in your computer's applications.

We found that this was happening to instructors that haven't completely connected the cords to their computer as well as to an outlet. Check out our video "Setting Up and XP Pen What's in the Box and how to connect the cords" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqDdI29ctdM.html) and let me know how it goes.

Once your XP Pen is working, you'll need a drawing application like Gimp, Photoshop, Kritta, etc to start drawing. The XP Pen only functions like an additional screen (with stylus capabilities) and does not come with apps for drawing.

Awesome! We're glad to hear it!

You need to find a stylus that is compatible with your tablet by researching your tablet's specifications. The XP-Pen stylus was only built to be compatible with the XP-Pen display.

Glad it was helpful!

It sounds like you need to click and drag your drawing app from your monitor to your XP-Pen display. This will only work if the drawing tablet has been set up to extend the display of your PC.

Is your tablet properly powered and set up as an extended display in your computer's settings?

You'll want to contact XP-Pen support to get the proper help you need: www.xp-pen.com/support/index

Have you had a chance to connect the red USB to your power source/outlet yet? I'm curious to hear how that went for you.

Hi Jerry, I'd love to know more about your experience with scaling settings for your XP Pen. Would you be willing to share?

You need to make sure your XP Pen is properly plugged into your computer as well as a wall outlet. Check out our other video on Setting Up the XP Pen to make sure everything is completely connected. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqDdI29ctdM.html

did you plug it in first? I dnt mean this to sound rude, i thought you did this before you plugged it in when i first got mine

L:] is spot on with the question on plugging it in first. Check out our other video on Setting Up the XP Pen to make sure everything is completely connected. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqDdI29ctdM.html

Thank you for catching that, Shannon! It's just that the biggest reason we've found for a PC not being able to detect an XP Pen is due to the XP Pen not being properly connected, or the computer's settings need to be adjusted (which can be viewed at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNwPh2Yt7_A.html) . If there are issues beyond that, It's best to contact XP-Pen customer service.

@@bscteachinglearningcenter Ok so I figured it our. The HDMI port doesn't have enough capacity to display things. I needed to have a Display Port since those are the only things capable to make the tablet recognized as a Display

Nubesducles, are you still running into problems with calibration on your XP Pen?

Same here

@@bscteachinglearningcenter Damn i had forgotten about this comment lol, thanks for responding tho. You were right, i had put all the cables correctly.

Maybe you accidentally put the wrong cable in the usb cord that happened to me too. You should connect the pure black cable one with the tag to the usb cord. Hope this was helpful sorry if I worded it out wrong

@@theartisticpaperbag6247 na, I connected they way it was supposed to. The techs on XP pen told me that the issue seems to be the interface of the tablet that wasn't working

@@imthatotakuguy8702 So how did u solve the problem ?

@@Surpriceone1 the techs from XP Pen told me that apparently the issue lies in the USB Port in the tablet, because everything was connected correctly and it didn't work. We try everything they told me and nothing works, so the problem lies on the USB port of the tablet.

You need to make sure the tablet is connected to both your computer and also an outlet for a power source. Are you connected to an outlet and still having this problem?

Go into your "Start" menu on your PC and located the Pentablet application.

Are you still running into this issue?

@@bscteachinglearningcenter Nope, but thanks for asking!! It was just me getting the cords mixed up! The tablet is great :D

Moon Cactus, are you still having trouble calibrating?

Thank you so much Steff44! We really appreciate that!

fixed ?

Hello I have the same problem. Is there a solution to this yet?

We found that this was happening to instructors that haven't completely connected the cords to their computer as well as to an outlet. Check out our video "Setting Up and XP Pen What's in the Box and how to connect the cords" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dqDdI29ctdM.html) and let me know how it goes.

It doesn't necessarily matter if the "1" is smaller than the "2". The main thing is for both your computer screen and XP Pen to show at the correct scale and layout while you view them, which is what the sizes of the "1" and "2" are representing. If you find your computer screen and XP Pen are not appearing at the correct scale, click on the corresponding "1" and/or "2" in your PC settings and scroll down to the Scale and Layout setting for each screen, and change the scale as seen starting at 1:41 in the video.

Good catch that we didn't mention that! Turn on your tablet after you restart your computer so that's running when you make the changes in your computer's settings.

@@bscteachinglearningcenter ah, alright thanks for the help

@@ponies.arecool123 You betcha

Hi Vanessa, the good news is that your computer is connected with your XP Pen by showing the "1" and the "2" in your computer's settings. All you need to do is click and drag the "2" to the right side of the "1".

Hi •boba Milk•, can you tell me a little more about what you mean by "it still won’t show my drawing thing" ? Once you clarify that, I'll be able to help diagnose the problem better.

Hi Bell, you'll need a drawing app for the XP Pen tablet to work. Compatible drawing applications include Photoshop, Affinity Photo, ArtRage, etc. XP-Pen has an article about drawing software on their site: www.storexppen.com/topic/19.html

Hi Noreen, you'll need wifi to download the installation file, but once you have that, I don't believe you need wifi to run and complete the installation.

@@bscteachinglearningcenter I already download it. Yes, the installation file does not need any wifi anymore only the actual xp pen file. THANK U FOR YOUR ANSWER
