Drawing by 2 or 3 people at the same time
When an FX-DUO/PX-DUO/FX-TRIO/StarBoardLink EZ is connected to the computer and used in Touch mode, you can use the Multi Input function by selecting Multi Input from the Tools menu.
Two people (or 3 on an FX-TRIO/StarBoardLink EZ) can select various tools for drawing at the same time, and can draw on the left side, middle or right side of the screen.
