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.
Make sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:
•PC. DTK-2241: Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista
Windows 7 only. DVI or VGA connector, available USB port, and CD-ROM drive.
•Macintosh. OS X, v10.6 or greater. DVI or VGA connector, or Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI
adapter, available USB port, and CD-ROM drive.
The pen display supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. If you are updating your video
card, complete the video card installation before connecting the pen display. 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 the pen display to either a DVI or VGA video card, connecting to a DVI video
card generally results in optimum performance.
Notes:
You may be able to set up the pen display as a mirrored, extended, or independent display.
When working with more than one monitor, the pen display 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.

Notes:
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 information
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 it is not in use for extended periods of time.

WORKING WITH THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY
As you work with the pen display you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a
sheet of paper.
Because the 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.

ERGONOMICS
To minimize fatigue, comfortably organize your work area. Position your pen display, 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.
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:
Be careful that you do not pull the cables out of their connections by accidentally moving the pen
display too far from the computer.
The pen tether can be used to ensure your pen stays with your pen display. Simply loop one end of
the tether through the tether hole located on the pen, and the other end of the tether through the
tether connection point located on either side of the pen display.

The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to create naturallooking pen strokes within applications that support this feature. To annotate and write with pressure,
select a pressure-sensitive tool from your application’s tool palette. As you work on the screen surface,
use various amounts of downward pressure on the tip of the pen.
WORKING WITH MULTIPLE MONITORS
When you are working with the pen display and additional monitors on the same system, the screen cursor
movement on the standard monitors will depend on your system configuration.
If a second monitor is connected in mirror mode, both the pen display and the other monitor will show
identical images and screen cursor movement.
If you are using the pen display with other monitors in extended monitor mode, you have several options
for navigating on the other monitors:
•Set a pen side switch to the D
screen cursor between the pen display and your other displays. For example, your product can be
used as a pen display (the screen cursor is positioned at the pen tip location) or toggled for use as a

THE MULTI-TOUCH EXPERIENCE: DTH-2242
The DTH-2242 pen display 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 DTH-2242 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Most of the time your interactive pen display will work flawlessly. But if you are having trouble, Wacom
recommends you do the following:
1. If the Wacom driver failed to load properly, first perform the recommended action in any error message
that may appear on your screen. If that does not solve the problem, review the troubleshooting
procedures in this chapter.
2. If the pen display does not function properly, refer to the troubleshooting sections on the following
pages. See also Display troubleshooting
be described there and you can try the solution offered.
3. Check the product FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on the Wacom website for your region.
4. If you are having a compatibility conflict between the pen display and a new hardware or software
product, consider downloading an updated software driver. Wacom periodically updates the software
driver to maintain compatibility with new products. See Obtaining driver downloads
5. If you have tried the suggestions in this guide and still cannot resolve the problem, then contact Wacom
for Technical Support. See the Technical support options

TESTING THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY
1. If the pen display 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 to the power adapter and to an active AC outlet.
•Check that the power adapter cable is securely connected to the pen display and that the power
switch is turned on. The power LED will glow orange or blue whenever the pen display is on.
Important: Use only an AC adapter specified for use with your pen display. 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 light 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 pen display is connected to an active DVI or VGA connector.
•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 tablet portion of your pen display and pen 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 the
interactive pen display 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 pen display to an active
USB port.
•The status LED will light blue when the pen display is registered as a USB device and the pen tip is
pressed against the display.
56
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 against the surface of the pen display. The pen display status
LED should light blue.
•Now, without applying pressure to the pen tip but keeping the pen within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the pen
display 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.

If the pen is set to pen mode and the problem still exists, then you may
have a corrupted preferences file. Follow the instructions in the
Windows or Macintosh troubleshooting sections to create a new
preferences file.
When you are not using the pen, remove it from the pen display surface
or the pen display will continue to send data, keeping the computer
awake.
When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen storage compartment,
or at some location near the pen display – but not on the display.
Leaving your pen on the display may interfere with screen cursor
positioning when using other input devices.
The tablet portion of the interactive pen display emits electromagnetic
waves at a certain frequency. If another tablet is too closely placed to
the unit it may interfere with screen cursor positioning. If this occurs,
move the tablet further away from the pen display.
Some applications can override and control the ExpressKey functions.
If using application-specific settings, be sure you have updated the
settings for the application you are working with.

Multi-touch does not seem to
fully work. The screen cursor
can be moved, but more
complex actions or gestures
do not work.
The pen display does not
reliably recognize multi-finger
touch.
Rotation gestures do not seem
to work consistently, or not at
all.
Otherwise, open the Wacom Tablet control panel, click on the T
icon, and go to the S
O
PTIONS tab. Be sure the ENABLETOUCH option is selected.
TANDARD GESTURES, MY GESTURES, or TOUCH
If the tablet driver does not load properly, basic touch movement will be
recognized but other actions and gestures will not. Install the driver
software.
If you hold your fingers too close together, the pen display may not
recognize them as being separate. Try moving your fingers a little
further apart.
Rotation may work differently depending on the application you are
working with. For example, rotation may work smoothly, in 90-degree
increments, or not at all.
For best recognition of this gesture, start with your fingers positioned
diagonally on the tablet surface and keep them at least 25 mm (1 inch)
apart.

CARING FOR THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY
Keep the pen and the 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 the pen display and pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature
is best. The pen display and pen are not made to come apart. Taking apart the product will void your
warranty.
Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the pen display or pen. Be especially careful of getting the
display, or pen buttons and tip wet as they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids
enter them.
To clean the pen display casing or the pen
very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, or other solvents to clean the
unit casing or pen.

Slide the end of the new nib straight
into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push
the nib until it stops. The new nib will
slide into the correct position.
Warning
Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib or side switch may
accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
Replace the pen nib when it gets too short, or less than 1 mm (0.04 inch).
ContentsIndex

REPLACING THE PEN TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. If your pen
display has a coated surface a worn nib may cause damage. To avoid this, periodic tip replacement is
recommended.
When the nib gets too short or develops a sharp edge, replace it with one of the extra nibs that came with
the pen.
Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen storage compartment or lay it flat on your desk.
Take care not to damage the pen nib when inserting or removing the pen from the storage
compartment. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the tool in a container where
it will rest on its tip.

to a different mounting platform:
1. Turn off your computer and power off the pen display.
Then disconnect all cables from between the unit and
your computer.
2. Protect the display screen surface by spreading a soft
cloth onto a flat table and placing the pen display face
