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 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.
To fine-tune, see The multi-touch experience
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 Important Product Information 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 display screen surface, it may cause the appearance of a
moiré or pooling pattern. If this occurs, use less pressure on the display 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 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 display 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 display screen surface.
Some models may include a color profile on the Installation CD. To activate for use with Cintiq, first
identify Cintiq as a pen display in the system display settings control panel. Then select the Cintiq
profile in the color management control panel. For details, see the color management information in
your operating system and application documentation.

STEP 2: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Important: You MUST install the Wacom driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality.
Save your work and close all open applications. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.
1. Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer menu does not
display, double-click on the I
and install the latest software driver from the Wacom web site for your region.)
2. Click I
NSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the driver software.
3. Reactivate your virus protection program.
4. After completing the software installation, make sure you can use your pen on the Cintiq display screen
to move the screen cursor.
When you place the pen tip on the display screen, the screen cursor should immediately jump to a
corresponding position approximately beneath the pen tip. Lift the pen tip and place it on the display
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 display screen surface.
5. Review the Important Product Information guide located on the Installation CD for Caution and Warning
statements. If you have trouble installing Cintiq, see Troubleshooting
6. Next, precisely align the screen cursor with the pen tip position. See Calibrating the Cintiq
NSTALL icon located on the CD. (When available, you can also download

SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area to create a comfortable environment. Position Cintiq, the pen,
and your keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. The Cintiq and any other displays
should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.
•If you have not already done so, be sure to configure Cintiq
•When using Cintiq as a display, align the top of the Cintiq in line with the level of your eyes.
•If working with a keyboard, consider locating the keyboard slightly below the desk surface in an
adjustable keyboard tray.
•Maintain a good posture at all times.

1. Launch the Wacom Tablet control panel by pressing the center
hardware control button
. Click OPTIONS....
2. Choose the appropriate setting for your preferred handedness.
3. Click OK. The existing ExpressKey and Touch Strip settings are

CONFIGURING CINTIQ FOR HANDEDNESS
During the installation process, you were prompted to choose a default configuration for Cintiq based on
whether you are right- or left-handed. The configuration you chose was used to determine the default
settings for the ExpressKeys and Touch Strips.
However, you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to easily reconfigure Cintiq for left- or right-handed
users at any time. The ExpressKey and Touch Strip settings are automatically reconfigured when you
change the handedness setting.
USING THE GRIP PEN
The cordless, battery-free pen senses the amount of pressure and tilt you apply to the tip. There are four
basic techniques for using the pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. If you are unfamiliar
with using the pen, see the following pages.

convenient location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger. Be careful not to accidentally
press the switch while drawing or positioning with the pen. Tilt the pen in any way that feels most
comfortable. As you work with Cintiq you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen.
Place the pen stand within easy reach. When not in use, place the pen in the pen stand or lay it flat on your
desk. The stand allows for vertical or horizontal placement of the pen.

the Cintiq display screen without touching the screen
surface. Press the pen tip on the display screen to make a
selection.
Note: Calibrating the Cintiq
ensures correct alignment of
the screen cursor with the pen tip. If the screen
cursor does not jump to a position near the pen tip

The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to create naturallooking pen and brush strokes within applications that support this feature.
To draw, ink, or write with pressure sensitivity, move the pen along the display screen surface while
applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of the pen. Press hard for thick lines or dense
color. Press gently for thin lines or softer color. Some applications require that you first select a pressuresensitive tool from the application tool palette.

THE MULTI-TOUCH EXPERIENCE
Your Cintiq22HD provides interactive multi-touch functions, which enable you to interact with a computer
using only your fingertips on the pen display screen surface.
You can use touch on the pen display as you would on any other Mac or Windows device, such as phones,
trackpads, and notebooks. First learn the basic actions to navigate and perform typical mouse operations.
Then learn how to scroll, zoom, and rotate.
Touch is activated whenever it is enabled and you touch the display screen surface.
•When using touch, you can generally position your fingers as far apart as is comfortable.
However, placing your fingers too closely together may be interpreted by the pen display as input from
a single finger, or it may confuse which finger initiated or performed an action or gesture. Your fingers
must remain within the active area of the screen surface.
•Experiment with touch to see what works best for you. Take care to prevent accidental touches on the
display screen when making gestures. For example, if your small finger touches the display screen
surface when zooming or scrolling, you may trigger an unanticipated right-click.
Note: For product models that support both pen and multi-touch, you can simultaneously work with the
pen and touch in supporting applications. For example, you might use touch to turn a 3D object
while using the pen to sculpt a surface texture. The pen has priority over touch whenever the pen tip
is within proximity of the pen display screen. Lift the pen and your hand away from the display
screen surface to enable touch.

Wacom offers a number of optional pens, such as the Art Pen and Airbrush, that are compatible for use
with Cintiq.
•The Art Pen features a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, as well as sensitivity to tilt and rotation.
Rotating the barrel in supporting applications creates a unique effect.
•The Airbrush is a true digital airbrush. It features a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, tilt sensitivity, and a
fingerwheel to control the application of digital paint.
These tools are fully supported in the Wacom driver software. They will appear in the T
OOL list of the
Wacom Tablet control panel after you touch the Cintiq screen with the tip of the tool. The control panel will
update to show the new tool and the options available for customization.
In supporting applications you can adjust the functionality of the Art Pen rotation or the Airbrush
fingerwheel within the application. See the documentation that came with your application for details.
To learn more about these and other optional tools that can be used with Cintiq, visit the Wacom web site
for your region. On the web site you can also learn about applications that currently support the advanced

Tips
:
•Use a soft T

•In some applications a soft pressure setting can make the pen overreact so that slight pressure on the pen
will be magnified on the screen. If you experience this, try a firmer T
IP FEEL setting.
•To make double-clicking easier, expand the tap area that accepts a double-click (the double-click distance).
•A large double-click distance may cause a delay at the beginning of brush strokes in some drawing
applications. This may also cause a delay at the beginning of a drag action or inking stroke. If you notice
such effects, try setting a smaller double-click distance and using the side switch to double-click. You can
also set an ExpressKey to double-click

TESTING CINTIQ
1. If the Cintiq power LED does not light, check the following:
•First verify that the light on the power adapter is on. If the light is not on, check that the power cable
is properly connected between the power adapter and an active AC outlet.
•Check that the power adapter cable is securely connected to the Cintiq power cable and that the
Cintiq is turned on. The power LED will glow orange or blue whenever the Cintiq is on.
Important: Use only an AC adapter specified for use with your Cintiq. Other adapters may cause
damage to your product.
2. If there is no display:
•Make sure that your computer is turned on. The power LED will glow blue when the proper video
signal is received. It will glow orange if there is no video signal or if the computer is in a power
saving mode.
•Verify that the Cintiq is connected to an active digital (DVI) or analog (VGA) video port.
•Check that your video card has been properly installed and is functional. If you have another display
that is compatible with your video card, you can connect that display to the card in order to verify
that the video card is operating correctly.
3. Verify that the pen and the tablet portion of your Cintiq are working:
•Press the pen tip against the display and verify that the status LED lights blue.
•If the LED does not light, verify that the USB cable is plugged into an active USB port. If Cintiq is
plugged into a USB hub, try plugging it directly into the USB port on your computer.
•Be sure that the USB port to which you are connecting has not been disabled. It may be necessary
to check your system BIOS setting to verify that you have connected the Cintiq to an active USB
port.
•The status LED will light blue when Cintiq is registered as a USB device and the pen tip is pressed
against the display.
78
4. Check the pen. If you cannot make a selection on the display screen with the pen:
•Test the pen by pressing the pen tip or eraser against the screen. The status LED should light blue.
•Without applying pressure to the pen tip but keeping the pen within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the screen
surface, press the side switch. The status LED should again light blue.
•If the status LED does not light blue for these tests, be sure you are using a pen specified for use
with your product.

The pen side switch does not
work.
The screen cursor moves but
it does not jump to the pen tip
location when placed on the
display screen, and it does not
follow the pen tip when
moving the pen across the
display.
When using Cintiq on a
multiple monitor system, you
cannot use the pen to control
the other monitor(s).
The line you are drawing does
not line up with the location of
the screen cursor.
Be sure you are using only the pen that came with your product,
or a Wacom accessory pen specified for use with the Cintiq 22HD.
Other pens may not function properly on the Cintiq.
Be sure to press the side switch when the pen tip is within 5 mm
(0.2 inch) of the active area. Do this without pressing down on the pen
tip.
In the Wacom Tablet control panel, verify that the side switch is set to
the proper function you are expecting to occur for the application and
tool you are using.
Check also the S
IDE SWITCH MODE. If CLICK & TAP is selected, you will
need to first press the side switch then touch the pen tip to the screen
surface in order to perform a click function.
Make sure the status LED lights blue when you press the side switch.
If not, verify that the USB cable is plugged into an active USB port on
your computer or on a USB hub. The LED will not light if the USB cable
is not plugged into an active port.
If the LED does not light, you may have defective hardware (see
Troubleshooting
).
Make sure the Wacom driver has loaded properly by opening the
Wacom Tablet control panel. If the driver did not load you will see an
error message. If an error message appears, reboot your computer.
If the problem persists, refer to Step 2: Software installation
and
reinstall the Wacom driver software. (For Mac, you must restart your
computer after installing the Wacom driver for proper operation.)
If you have customized the side switch on your pen to toggle between
pen mode and mouse mode, make sure that your Cintiq is operating in
pen mode.
Cycle between pen control for Cintiq and your other displays by
pressing an ExpressKey or pen button that is set to D
ISPLAY TOGGLE.
You can also use your pen to control the other monitors in mouse
mode. To use mouse mode, first set a pen button to M
ODE TOGGLE....
Then use the button to toggle between pen mode and mouse mode.
To function properly, some applications require that the pen be set to
pen mode. Make sure the pen has not
been toggled to mouse mode.
If you have set the pen to pen mode and the problem still exists, then
you may have a corrupted preferences file. Follow the instructions in
Windows-specific problems
or Mac-specific problems to create a new
preferences file.

The computer does not go to
sleep.
The screen cursor jumps back
when using your regular
mouse or trackball.
The screen cursor moves
erratically or jumps around on
the display screen when
another tablet is connected to
your computer.
When working in some
applications, the ExpressKeys
or Touch Strips perform a
different function than what is
set in the Wacom Tablet
control panel.
The ExpressKeys and Touch
Strips do not perform the
correct functions to which
they are set.
Some control panel defaults
are different from those shown
in the manual.
When you are not using the pen, remove it from the screen surface, or
Cintiq will continue to send data, keeping the computer awake.
When not in use, place the pen in the pen stand or in some other
location near the Cintiq. Leaving your pen on the display may interfere
with screen cursor positioning when using other input devices.
The tablet portion of Cintiq emits electromagnetic waves at a certain
frequency. If another tablet is too close to the Cintiq it may interfere
with screen cursor positioning. If this occurs, move the tablet further
away from the Cintiq.
Some applications can override and control the ExpressKey and Touch
Strip functions. See Using applications integrated for tablet control
.
If using application-specific settings, be sure you have updated the
settings for the application you are working with.
Check to be sure that Cintiq is correctly configured for your preferred
handedness. See configuring Cintiq for handedness and orientation
.
In some regions the control panel defaults may vary, depending on
application and operating system differences.

Can I use older Wacom input tools with Cintiq?
Pens and accessories are generally specific to the product model they come with, so they may not be
interchangeable. Visit the Wacom web site for your region and check the Customer Care Knowledge
Base for details.
The installer is asking for a password. What is the password?
The computer is looking for a password that is either your personal password or the administrative
password to log into the computer. If your personal password does not work and you are in a business

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This section provides tips for the care and maintenance of your Cintiq.
Caring for Cintiq
Replacing the pen nib
CARING FOR CINTIQ
Keep the Grip Pen and the Cintiq LCD screen surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to the pen and
cause excessive wear to the display screen surface. Regular cleaning will help prolong the life of your LCD
screen surface and pen.
Keep Cintiq, the Cintiq display stand, and the Grip Pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in
temperature. Room temperature is best.
Cintiq, the display stand, and the Grip Pen are not made to come apart. Taking apart the product will void
your warranty.
Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the Cintiq or pen. Be especially careful of getting the
display, ExpressKeys, Touch Strips, or pen buttons and tip wet as they contain sensitive electronic
parts that will fail if liquids enter them.
Prevent scratching by replacing your pen nibs frequently. When the nibs are worn or pointed they can
damage your Cintiq. See Replacing the pen nib
