8. Turn on your computer. The interactive pen display will automatically 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 1920x1200. 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 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 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 pen display 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

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 automatically display, double-click on the I also download 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. If your product model supports multi-touch, the screen cursor will immediately jump to a position beneath your finger tip when you touch the display screen surface.

5. Check the Read Me file for updated information. Review also the Important Product Information guide located on the Installation CD for cautions and warnings. If you have trouble installing Cintiq, see

troubleshooting

6. Next, precisely align the screen cursor with the pen tip position. See calibrating the pen display

DISPLAY STAND LOCATION

Select a location on your desktop or other work surface that is level and stable. This product weighs approximately 29 kg (64 lbs). Any table or platform on which this product is installed must be able to support the combined weight of the Cintiq interactive pen display and Cintiq display stand.

• Before moving Cintiq, adjust the pen display height and incline locked upright, with Cintiq positioned horizontally. Place all cables on top of the stand base and ensure they do not hang free. Tripping over loose cables can cause physical damage or personal injury.

• Request assistance from another person or persons. Each person should securely grasp the lower part of a display support arm near the display stand base. With the other hand, grasp the base of the stand at the front corner. Using care, lift and carefully move this product while supporting the base of the stand.

Important: The assembly is heavy. Do not attempt to lift Cintiq by yourself. Each person should use both hands to securely grasp the product. Grasp the stand base at the corner areas to avoid any sharp edging. DO NOT lift the pen display itself, otherwise damage might occur to the LCD if it flexes during movement. Also, the pen display does not have sufficient strength to support the load of the stand hanging freely from it. Work together, and lift carefully.

• Locate Cintiq on a desktop or other working surface that is flat, clean, and free of any moisture or oily film. Taking care not to pinch your fingers, do this by first placing the rear half portion of the stand onto the table surface. Then slide the stand fully into place so that it will not tip or fall.

• When in place, use the incline levers to rotate the display back to a vertical position.

Slide the display stand on your desktop. Turn from side to side.

Prepare by adjusting the display to a lowered, horizontal (flat) position.

Using a smooth motion, pull Cintiq toward you. If you feel an increase in friction, stop

pulling. Check to ensure the display stand base does not extend beyond desktop edge.

Caution

Use care when adjusting the working position. Use a smooth, horizontal motion when pulling Cintiq toward you. Do not lift the stand from the desktop. You can move the stand base to align with the edge of your desktop. DO NOT let the stand base protrude over the desktop.

If you pull too far, and as the front of the stand moves over the edge of your desktop, the friction of the base pads will increase and “lock” the stand in place. Do not pull beyond this point or past the base pads. Push the display stand back onto the working surface until the front edge of the stand base aligns with the edge of the installation surface.

Improper movement or pulling beyond the tipping point will prevent the friction lock from engaging, and could cause personal injury or damage to the pen display if it were to fall. Cintiq is heavy. Use care when moving the unit.

WORKING WITH YOUR CINTIQ

The Cintiq 24HD interactive pen display and Cintiq display stand were designed for a wide range of flexibility and ergonomic work approach. The design allows you to quickly adjust Cintiq to a different height and position whenever the need arises. Experiment by adjusting display height and incline determine which best fits your particular working style and tasks.

As you work with Cintiq you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper.

Cintiq 24HD touch models allow you to work simultaneously with the pen and multi-touch. This enables you to use a pen with one hand and use your other hand for touch gestures within supporting applications.

• The pen has priority over touch. For example: If you are using touch to drag an icon across the desktop and then bring the pen into proximity of the

display screen surface, the pen will take control of the screen cursor. If you are working with the pen and then want to use touch, first lift the pen away from the display

screen surface.

• Your hand holding the pen is not recognized as a touch gesture. For best results remember to bring the pen tip into proximity before resting your hand and wrist on the display screen surface.

Because the Cintiq pen display surface will be a little higher than your desk, consider adjusting the height of your desk or chair to assure comfortable use of the device.

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.

Note: For Cintiq models that support both pen and multi-touch, you can simultaneously use the pen and

touch when working within a supporting application. For example, you might use multi-touch with the pen when mixing colors in Photoshop. Remember, the pen has priority over touch whenever the pen tip or eraser is within proximity of the pen display screen. Lift the pen and your hand away from the display screen surface to enable touch.

If you experience unintended touch actions, manually disable touch by pressing an ExpressKey that has been set to T the pen, press the ExpressKey to enable touch. You can also use the Wacom Tablet control panel to

BRIGHTNESS. Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness. Notes:

The brightness level is adjusted using the backlight output. The display will digitally compensate for low or high brightness levels. If digital compensation occurs, the brightness value on the OSD will change to magenta.

Optimal display performance will be in the range where the OSD brightness value is black. When the display cannot achieve the desired brightness, the numerical brightness value on the OSD will blink.

For low brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by adjusting the screen contrast to achieve the desired brightness. This will result in a reduced contrast ratio and the OSD indicator will change to magenta.

For high brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by turning down uniformity compensation in order to achieve the desired brightness. The OSD indicator will change to magenta and this may result in decreased uniformity.

THE MULTI-TOUCH EXPERIENCE WITH CINTIQ

The Cintiq 24HD interactive pen display is designed to enhance the way you work. Multi-touch enables you to interact with a computer using only your fingertips on the Cintiq display screen surface.

You can use touch on Cintiq 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 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 Cintiq as input from a single finger, or Cintiq 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, then 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 or eraser is within proximity of the pen display screen. Lift the pen and your hand away from the display screen surface to enable touch.

. Set Cintiq in its working position, then follow the below procedure.

Tip

: To see the screen cursor slightly offset from the actual position of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking

on a spot showing that offset from the crosshairs. For example, to have the screen cursor appear

2.5 mm (1/10th of an inch) above and to the left of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot 2.5 mm (1/10th of an inch) below and to the right of the crosshairs.

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 pen display screen with the tip of the tool. The control panel will automatically 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.

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
