OPERATING SYSTEM

The Cintiq Companion uses the Windows 8 operating system, and supports both the standard desktop and the new Windows 8 Start screen.

For help and information on using Windows 8, explore the Microsoft support website:

http://support.microsoft.com/find-solutions/windows/windows-8

Getting Started Setting up your work area

BATTERY STATUS AND OPERATION

The battery status LED on the Cintiq indicates battery conditions as follows:

Status Battery Status LED

Off Off Charging With AC power: Amber

Without AC power: Not being charged. LED is green if battery charge is normal

Fully charged With AC power: Green

Without AC power: Green

Low battery With AC power: Red

Without AC power: Red (battery is below 10%)

Sleep Off

Battery status is displayed in the status bar in the bottom right of the screen on the standard desktop, and in the bottom left corner on the Windows 8 Start screen when you swipe in from the right side of the screen. You will receive a notification if the battery charge falls to a low level, and the LED status light will turn red. Completely discharging the battery will cause the Cintiq to shut down.

If the battery’s operating temperature becomes too hot or too cold, you will receive a notification. If the battery is too hot and your Cintiq is connected to an external power source, unplug the Cintiq. If you have a problem with battery operation that you are not able to resolve, please contact Wacom Support.

To protect and maximize the life of your battery:

• Operate and store your Cintiq at room temperature.

• Do not allow your battery to be completely discharged. Wacom recommends that you operate with power connected at least some of the time while you are working.

• When you disconnect the Cintiq from the power cable to begin using it as a mobile device, check to see that the battery status LED is green, which indicates that the battery has enough charge.

• Do not ignore low-battery notifications.

• If you will not be using your Cintiq for an extended period of time, charge the battery before final use. Restart the Cintiq periodically and check the battery status icon. Charge the battery again if it is low.

Important: Do not attempt to access, remove, repair, replace, or alter your Cintiq’s battery. If you have a problem with the battery, please contact Wacom Support for your region.

• Review the Important Product Information document, which provides product specifications, warranty terms, and related information. The document is available in the U Desktop Center.

GETTING STARTED

The Cintiq driver is pre-installed on your Cintiq. When you are ready to begin using it, complete the following steps.

7. For the first use of your Cintiq, connect it to a power source using the power cable and AC adapter. See

Rear and side views

for the locations of Cintiq features.

8. Press and hold the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds to turn on your Cintiq. Windows 8 will launch.

9. Make sure that you have wifi and Internet access.

10. Follow the on-screen steps for configuring Windows 8.

11. When Windows 8 configuration is complete, launch the Wacom Desktop Center:

• From the standard desktop, click the Wacom Desktop Center icon in the lower left task bar.

• On the Windows 8 Start screen, click the Wacom Desktop Center tile.

12. Wacom recommends that you click the Wacom Software Update, which is the first item in the Wacom Desktop Center, to download the most recent version of the Cintiq driver.

You can access the Wacom Control Panel from the task bar on the standard desktop, or from a tile on the Windows 8 Start screen.

SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA

To minimize fatigue, organize your work area to create a comfortable environment. Position the Cintiq, the pen, and your keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. Your Cintiq and any other displays should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.

You may use your Cintiq in the landscape or portrait orientation that is most comfortable for you. When you move the Cintiq from one position to another, the screen display will switch to the correct orientation a few seconds after you change the Cintiq’s position.

To lock in a preferred orientation for your Cintiq, use the Autorotate toggle switch on the side of the Cintiq to keep the orientation from changing even if the position of the tablet is changed. See Rear and side views for the location of the Autorotate switch.

Important Notes:

Do not block the cooling vents on the back of the Cintiq. Do not place the Cintiq on a soft surface such as a cushion, blanket, etc.

Use the Cintiq on a firm, flat surface, or on your lap.

Use the stand only for setting up an inclined position. Remove the stand to use the Cintiq in a flat position.

If the Cintiq overheats, it will shut down. You will have to wait for it to cool down before restarting it.

The Cintiq and the pens are not made to come apart, except to personalize your pen with a color ring. Otherwise, taking apart the product will void your warranty.

Take care to never spill liquids onto the Cintiq or the pen. Be especially careful of getting the display, Rocker Ring, ExpressKeys or pen buttons and pen tip wet, as they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if they are exposed to liquids.

THE WACOM DESKTOP CENTER

Wacom Desktop Center is a utility that lets you change the pen and touch input settings for your Cintiq, learn more about how to use it, and connect to related websites. You can access the Desktop Center at any time from the standard desktop or the Start screen, and you can place the icon in the Taskbar. Select from the activities on the left side of the screen to see options for each one, as shown below.

A short tutorial to help you learn about and understand your Cintiq is available when you first start it up. You can view the tutorial at that time, or access it later from the Help & Support section of the Wacom Desktop Center.

The Handedness configuration you choose is used to determine the default settings for the ExpressKeys. You can use the Wacom Desktop Center to configure your Cintiq for a left-handed or right-handed user at any time. The ExpressKeys will change automatically to adjust to the new setting. You can also set Handedness in the Wacom Control Panel Options dialog (see Customizing your Cintiq

PEN FEATURES

Pen tip (replaceable nib): The pen activates as soon as it is brought within proximity of the Cintiq’s screen. This allows you to position the screen cursor without touching the pen tip to the screen.

When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the pen simulates a primary mouse button click. Tip click pressure can be adjusted in the Wacom Control Panel.

Side switch

: The pen comes equipped with a customizable side switch. It has two functions that can be selected by rocking the switch in either direction. You can use the side switch whenever the pen tip is within proximity (5 mm (0.2 inch)) of the screen surface.

By default, the upper switch is set to

DOUBLE CLICK, and the lower

switch is set to

RIGHT CLICK. You can customize or disable the switch

functions using the Wacom Control Panel.

Eraser: The pressure and proximity functions are the same as for the pen tip. In most applications, the eraser function is automatic.

Contents Index

Important:

• Use only the pen that came with your product, or a Wacom accessory pen specified for use with Cintiq. Other pens may not function properly, or may damage the screen.

• Do not use felt nibs on your Cintiq, as they could scratch the screen.

• When not in use, place the pen in the pen case, or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser. Improper storage may damage pen tip pressure sensor(s).

Contents

If you are working in a multi-user environment or otherwise want to personalize your pen, unscrew the tip cone and replace the colored ring with one of another color (included).

You can

customize the pen settings at

any time.

USING THE PEN

There are four basic techniques for using the pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging.

Holding the pen The multi-touch experience Clicking Dragging Working with pressure sensitivity Drawing with tilt

HOLDING THE PEN

Place the pen within easy reach while you work. When not in use, place the pen in the pen case, or lay it flat on your desk.

WORKING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY

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 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 pressure-sensitive tool from the application tool palette.

THE MULTI-TOUCH EXPERIENCE

Your Cintiq Companion provides interactive multi-touch functions, which enable you to interact with your Cintiq using only your fingertips on the pen display screen surface.

You can use touch on the pen display as you would on any other Windows or Android device.

For Windows gestures, refer to the Wacom Gesture Guide at

• When using touch, you can generally position your fingers as far apart as is comfortable. However, placing your fingers too close 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: You can simultaneously work with the pen and touch in supporting applications. 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.
