HANDLING
Warning
Warning
Warning
Only use a power adapter specified for use with your Cintiq. If a different type of power
adapter is used, Cintiq will not work properly or may be damaged. Using a different type of
power adapter also has the potential to result in fire. Use of a different power adapter will
void your warranty.
Be sure to use a grounded power source when applying power to Cintiq.
Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cables while Cintiq or your computer are
turned on; this may damage the display or computer video card. In this case, Wacom shall
have no responsibility to repair or replace the product.
This product is for use with a DVI or VGA video card; using an inappropriate video card may
damage Cintiq.
Do not block the rear panel ventilation holes; this may overheat and damage the unit.
When not using Cintiq for long periods of time, unplug the power adapter from the AC outlet.
High Voltage. Do not open or disassemble the Cintiq interactive pen display. There is a risk
of electrical shock when the casing is open. This will also void your warranty and Wacom
shall have no responsibility to repair or replace the product.
Do not operate the display stand incline adjustment levers when Cintiq is not mounted
on the stand, and do not lift the stand by the adjustment levers; the stand is spring-loaded
and may cause injury or damage if released without the weight of Cintiq on the stand.
Improper operation may lead to physical injury or damage to the stand.
When moving Cintiq to a different location, either:
•remove the display unit from the stand and then move both items separately (see
“Removing Cintiq from the display stand” on page 13),
•or use the lock screws to fix Cintiq to the stand (see “Optional display configurations” on
page 61).
Before moving Cintiq, first adjust the stand to its full upright position; this will reduce the
spring tension so that the stand will not accidentally release and snap shut. If the display unit
is in landscape orientation, use one hand to grasp the bottom of the display and with your
other hand grasp the back of the stand. Be sure to lift on both the display and the stand so
that the stand will not separate from the display when moving Cintiq.
If Cintiq is in portrait orientation or has been locked to the stand with the rotation lock
screws, the stand will not separate from the display unit and Cintiq can be safely lifted by
grasping the display unit with both hands.

Before moving Cintiq, first adjust the stand to its full upright position; this will reduce the spring
tension so the stand will not accidentally release and snap shut. If the display unit is in
landscape orientation, use one hand to grasp the bottom of the display and with your other
hand grasp the back of the stand. Be sure to lift on both the display and the stand so the stand
will not separate from the display when moving Cintiq. If Cintiq is in portrait orientation or has
been locked to the stand with the rotation lock screws (see page 61), the stand will not separate
from the display unit and Cintiq can be safely lifted by grasping the display unit with both hands.
Warning
To adjust the display incline, face the front of the Cintiq pen display and grasp it on the left and right
side at approximately the same height as the Cintiq stand adjustment levers. Use your fingertips to

INSTALLATION
The computer treats the interactive pen display as two separate devices (the display and the pen
tablet). Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages:
•First install as a display.
•Then install as a pen tablet.
Both stages require hardware and software installations and adjustments. Carefully follow ALL
instructions.
Important: You MUST install the Wacom driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Make sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:
•PC. Windows 7, Vista™, XP (32 and 64 bit). DVI or VGA connector, available USB port, and
CD-ROM drive.
•Macintosh. OS X, v10.4 or greater. DVI or VGA connector, available USB port, and CD-ROM
drive.
Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. If updating your video card, first
complete the video card installation before connecting Cintiq. If you have another display that is
compatible with your video card, you can use that display to verify the video card is operating
correctly.
Although you can connect Cintiq to either a DVI or VGA video card, connecting to a DVI video card
generally results in optimum performance.
Notes:
Cintiq can be used alone or with another display, such as a CRT monitor or LCD projector.
To use Cintiq with another display, you will need two video cards or a video card with dual
output.
You may be able to set up Cintiq as a mirrored, extended, or independent display.
When working with more than one monitor, Cintiq will map to the monitors based upon how
your system is configured. By default, if you are in mirror mode, the pen display will map to the
entire space on each monitor. See your hardware and operating system documentation for
details on configuring your system for use with multiple monitors.
A Display Toggle function is available for use with multiple display systems. This enables you to
toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your other displays.

Each interactive pen display LCD panel is produced under very stringent quality standards.
Production techniques cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect display, and some panels may
exhibit a certain number of pixels that show an incorrect color. See the “Product specifications”
on page 68 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.

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.
•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
•Click I
NSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the driver software.
•Reactivate your virus protection program.
•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.
•Be sure to check the Read Me file for updated information. If you have trouble installing Cintiq,
see “Troubleshooting” on page 42.
Notes:
Driver installation automatically activates the new pen input functions available within Microsoft
Windows 7, Vista, and Office 2007 or later (except for Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic, and
Windows Vista Home Basic). Visit the Wacom web site at www.wacom.com/vista for additional
information on using your Wacom pen in Windows.
User-specific preferences are supported. After logging in, each user can customize their
personal settings in the Wacom Tablet control panel. Switching to another user will
automatically load the settings for that user.
If the pen display does not respond properly or you lose cursor control, the pen display
preferences may be corrupted. You can delete the current preference settings and return the
pen display to its factory default condition. See the Software User’s Manual for details on
managing preferences.
To uninstall the software driver, see “Uninstalling Cintiq” on page 67.
NSTALL icon located on the CD.
Next, see “Calibrating Cintiq” on page 36 to precisely align the screen cursor to the pen tip.

WORKING WITH YOUR CINTIQ
To emulate a traditional animator’s table, adjust
the stand to its lowest position. Cintiq can be
freely rotated to any angle without touching the
desktop for the greatest comfort and accuracy
of stroke while drawing or editing images.
Adjustment of the stand to its highest position is
common when your work requires a large
amount of keyboard input. This position is also
useful when presenting your work to co-workers
or clients.
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.
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.
SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
The Cintiq interactive pen display and stand were designed to provide you with the widest possible
range of flexibility and ergonomic work approach. The design allows you to quickly adjust Cintiq to a
different position whenever the need arises. Experiment with different height and position adjustments
to determine which best fits your particular working style and tasks.
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position Cintiq, the pen,
and your keyboard for easy access without unnecessary reaching. The pen display and any other
displays should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.
•Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles.
•Use a gentle grip when working with the pen.
•Alternate tasks throughout the day.
•Maintain a good posture at all times. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that
cause discomfort.
•Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
•Alternate between different modes of use.
Note regarding RSI: Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or
prevent, in whole or in part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions. Individual
results may vary. Always obtain competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate treatment
for your specific situation.

Tips:
If the rotation lock screws are attached to the back of Cintiq, they must be removed before
Cintiq can be rotated.
Before rotating the display unit, be sure the cable is freely rotating behind the unit.
Do not pull the cable out of its computer connections by accidentally moving the pen display
too far from the computer.
Cintiq can also be mounted to articulated arms or other third-party stands meeting the VESA
100 specification for monitor stands. See “Using an alternate mount or stand” on page 62 for
details.
Next step: If you have not already done so, learn about the basics of customizing your product for the
way you like to work. See “Customizing” on page 34.

USING THE GRIP PEN
To personalize your pen, unscrew
the tip cone and replace the
colored ring with one of another
color (included).
Refer to “Customizing” on page 34
and to the electronic Software
User’s Manual for information on
customizing the pen settings.
Nib extractor
Replacement nibs
•6 standard nibs, black
•1 stroke nib, white
•3 hard felt nibs, gray
Unscrew the base of the pen stand to access a nib extraction tool
and assorted replacement nibs.
The pen is cordless, battery-free, and senses the amount of tilt and pressure you exert upon it.
HOLDING THE PEN
Hold the pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. Make sure the DuoSwitch is in a convenient
location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger, but not accidentally press it while
drawing. As you work with Cintiq you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen. You can tilt the
pen in any way that feels most comfortable.
Place the pen stand within easy reach. When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand, the pen
holder, or lay it flat on your desk. The stand allows for vertical or horizontal placement of the pen.
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser.
