GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CINTIQ

The Cintiq 13HD combines the benefits of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom’s cordless, battery-free pen technology. This gives you a direct pen-on-screen interface for your computer.

The basic components of your Cintiq include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a high quality color display, and the Wacom Grip Pen, pen case and pen stand.

Your Cintiq can be used in either one of two landscape orientations, for either right-handed or left-handed use.

This manual describes how to set up and use your Cintiq. The Wacom Tablet control panel enables you to customize your pen and Cintiq settings. To learn more, see Customizing your Cintiq

Note: Not all product models are available in all regions.

8. Turn on your computer. The Cintiq will install as a default monitor.

9. As necessary, configure the display control panel settings for the proper size and color resolution. For best results, set Cintiq to the maximum (native) resolution of 1920x1080. See the Important Product Information (IPI) guide located on the Installation CD for details about resolution sizes that can be used with Cintiq. The display size and color resolution may be constrained by the capabilities of your video card.

10. To fine-tune the Cintiq, see adjusting the display Windows

: If you are using Cintiq as a secondary display, you may first need to enable Cintiq in your

display properties control panel.

After the LCD monitor portion of the installation is working to your satisfaction, move on to step 2: software

installation.

Notes:

Each LCD panel is produced under very stringent quality standards. Production techniques cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect display. Wacom does not allow any pixel to be always white. A small number of subpixels are allowed to show a wrong color for some parts of the color spectrum. See the IPI guide for more information.

If an image has fine striping (such as screen stripes), it may appear to flicker or display a moiré pattern.

Do not apply excessive pressure on the screen surface, it may cause the appearance of a moiré or pooling pattern. If this occurs, use less pressure on the screen when working with the pen.

When a still image is displayed for a long period of time, an after-image may remain for a short time. To prevent this, use a screen saver or other power management feature.

To extend the life of the Cintiq backlight, set your computer’s power management to turn off the display when not in use for extended periods of time.

Your eyes may feel more comfortable if you reduce the screen brightness when working with Cintiq for extended periods of time. This will also extend the life of the backlight and reduce the heat felt on the screen surface.

STEP 2: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Important: You MUST install the Wacom driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality.

1. Save your work and close all open applications.

2. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.

3. Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer menu does not display, double-click on the I download and install the latest software driver from the Wacom website for your region.)

4. Click I

NSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the driver software.

5. Reactivate your virus protection program.

6. After completing the software installation, make sure you can use your pen on the Cintiq screen to move the screen cursor.

When you place the pen tip on the screen, the cursor should immediately jump to a corresponding position approximately beneath the pen tip. Lift the pen tip and place it on the screen surface in a different location. The screen cursor should again jump to the new position. This is known as absolute positioning, and enables you to position the screen cursor without having to drag your pen across the screen surface.

7. Check the Notes linked to the driver download page for updated information. Review the Important Product Information (IPI) located on the Installation CD for cautions and warnings. If you have trouble installing Cintiq, see troubleshooting

8. Next, precisely align the screen cursor with the pen tip position. See calibrating the cintiq

CINTIQ FEATURES

After you have set up your Cintiq, take some time to familiarize yourself with the features and components. Although they will appear as separate devices to your operating system, the display and tablet sensor function as an integrated output and input device. The tablet sensor reports pen coordinates, pressure, tilt, switch, eraser, and other information.

Use the Wacom Tablet control panel to customize options for ExpressKeys, Rocker Ring, Home Button, pen settings, calibration, display toggle, and other features. See Customizing your Cintiq

To improve your workflow in graphics or other applications, Cintiq features ExpressKeys and a Rocker Ring. While using the pen with your dominant hand, you can use your other hand to operate the ExpressKeys and Rocker Ring, and Home Button. These customizable features can be used to perform frequently used functions or keystrokes, or to emulate button clicks or modifier keys. See using the

ExpressKeys.

A Display Toggle function enables you to toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your computer. For example: Cintiq can be used as a pen display where the cursor is positioned at the pen tip location, or toggled for use as a standard Wacom tablet where the cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or any display on your system.

• Many applications have built-in support for pen display features, such as pressure sensitivity, tilt, and rotation. Visit the Wacom website to learn about applications that support these features. See product

information.

• For information on how best to use pen display features within a specific application, see the instructions in that application’s manuals.
