Wrongly setting left-handed mode of PD1560 will cause the cursor being offset or not going along with the stylus nib.

There are four display modes in Windows system. They are Duplicate, Extend, Computer only and Projector only. No matter which mode you decide to use, there are two must-doing things to set the left-handed mode of PD1560. They are

1) to set ‘Orientation’ as ‘landscape flipped’ in computer Control Panel;

2) to set ‘Rotate’ as ‘180°’ in GAOMON driver.

Please follow below instructions while setting left-handed mode.

Here we use:

Device model: PD1560
Version of Driver: win 13.15.19  (The latest version: win V14.7.63.)

Solution:

Firstly, to make sure that GAOMON driver has been recognized by your device

Tick “Smaller-100%” and click ‘Apply’ while resolving GAOMON offset issue

Thirdly, to set ‘Orientation’ as ‘landscape flipped’

  • Press ‘Windows’ + ‘P’ keys (shortcut combination) on your keyboard

Simultaneously press the ‘window’ + ‘P’ key on your keyboard

  • Select one mode to use from the four options.

  3. Click ‘Apply’
  • Which display is set as Main display, and then it will show as an option appended with Main screen ( or MainDisplay in the v.13 driver) .

Now your main display is set as PD1560. In GAOMON driver, the option with ‘Main screen’ or ‘MainDisplay’ will be PD1560 shown as below screenshot.

So in GAOMON driver,

Display 1 without Main screen is Computer Monitor;

Display 2 with Main screen is PD1560;

All Dispaly is adding Computer monitor and PD1560 as one display.

But if you set Computer monitor as the main display, then the option with  Main screen in GAOMON driver will be Computer Monitor.

Fourthly, to set ‘Rotate’ as 180 degrees

  • Please turn PD1560 for 180° to make Express Keys at the right-hand side.
  • Open the GAOMON driver interface and click ‘Work Area’ from the top tab.
  • Pay attention to Select Current Display. It is to select a screen between your computer and PD1560 as Current Display where your cursor will move on while you drawing on PD1560.

Because PD1560 is a screen tablet. Most of screen tablet users hope the cursor only moves on the desktop of PD1560 when drawing on it. So to make the cursor only moves on PD1560, you should select the option who represents PD1560 as the current display.

But there are three options (Display 1, Display 2, All Display), which one represents PD1560? ‘MainDislay‘ appended with one of the options will help you to figure out PD1560.

‘Display 1’ appends without Main screen is the computer monitor.

 ‘Display 2’ with Main screen is PD1560. We then select ‘Display 2’ as Current Display.

All Dispaly is adding Computer monitor and PD1560 as one display.

So to make the cursor move on your PD1560, you should select Display 2.

  • Do as the screenshot shows (now PD1560 is the main display).
