The pen will enter pairing mode, and you should see a notification on the tablet screen indicating that the pen is ready to be paired. Press the pen button again to confirm the pairing.

Once the pen is paired, you can adjust the pen settings in the XP Pen software. Open the software and go to the pen settings tab. Here, you can adjust the pen sensitivity, pen pressure, and other settings to suit your preferences.

Step 7: Test Your Setup
After completing the above steps, it’s essential to test your setup to ensure everything is working correctly.
