Windows

: If you are using Cintiq as a secondary display, you may first need to enable the unit 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 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 subpixels that show an incorrect color. 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.

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 display unit itself, otherwise damage might occur to the LCD if it flexes during movement. Also, the display unit 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.

Index

After placing Cintiq in its primary location, you can shift the unit to different positions.

For those who prefer a more immersive environment, Cintiq has been designed so that you can work with the pen display overhanging your desktop.

1. Adjust height and incline

so the pen display is slightly above and overhanging the display stand edge.

2. Pull Cintiq toward you. As the front of the stand moves over the edge of your desktop, the friction of the base pads will increase.

TESTING CINTIQ

1. If the interactive 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 between the power adapter and an active AC outlet.

• Check that the power adapter cable is securely connected to the Cintiq display stand extension

cable for power and that the pen display 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 digital (DVI or DisplayPort) 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 pen display 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 pen display 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.

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 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.

Where can I obtain spare parts and accessories? How do I find the product model and serial number?

Will Cintiq work in all applications?

Cintiq supports general mouse input functions in all applications. Assuming the product driver is installed and functioning properly, pressure sensitivity and eraser functions are also supported in many graphic applications.

What software applications support Cintiq features?

Many applications support pressure sensitivity and eraser input from your Wacom product. Visit http://www.wacom.com/productinfo and check the tablet enhanced software list. If you do not

see your application listed, try using it with Cintiq to determine if you experience pressure variance when you paint or draw with the pen. Your software manufacturer will be able to provide the best information about which pen input features the application supports.

Can I have Cintiq and a mouse connected to my computer at the same time?

Contents

Index

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 environment you will need to ask the system administrator to install the tablet for you. The operating system requires the user to have administrative access to install a hardware device.

The pen and screen cursor do not line up. Why?

The interactive pen display needs to be calibrated. This should be done each time you reinstall the tablet driver or delete the Cintiq preference file. See calibrating the pen display

How do I reset my Cintiq preferences to the default settings?

See managing preferences.

Can I delete all Cintiq preferences at one time?

Yes. See managing preferences.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

This section provides tips for the care and maintenance of your Cintiq interactive pen display.

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 pen display or pen. Be especially careful of getting the display, ExpressKeys, Touch Rings, or pen buttons and tip wet as they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.

To clean the Cintiq casing, the Cintiq display stand, or the Grip Pen dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, or other solvents to clean the unit casing or pen.

To clean the display screen light amount of pressure to the display screen and do not make the surface wet. Do not use detergent to clean the display screen; this may damage the pen display screen. Damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

REPLACING THE PEN NIB

The pen nib (tip) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear more quickly. Replace the nib when it gets too short or develops a flat point.

1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib removal tool and replacement nibs.

2. Clasp the old nib and pull it straight out of the pen. Use the nib removal tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument.

3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.

For replacement parts, see ordering parts and accessories

Important: When not in use, place the pen in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. When the optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest on their tip or eraser. Improper storage may damage the pen tip pressure sensor(s).

USING AN ALTERNATE MOUNT OR STAND

If using Cintiq in an installation that requires the use of an alternate mounting platform, you can remove the Cintiq display stand from the unit and mount the pen display onto any stand or mounting platform conforming to the VESA MIS-E 100/200 (6 screw) standard.

Notes:

Required mounting screws are 4 mm wide with a 0.7 mm pitch (M4), with a screw clearance depth of 17 mm. Exceeding the clearance depth of 17 mm will damage the internal components of the pen display. These screws were provided with your product accessories.

The combined weight of this product (pen display and display stand) is 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.

The pen display portion of this product weighs 16 kg (35.2 lbs). Any platform or fixture on which the pen display alone is mounted must be able to support the weight of the Cintiq interactive pen display.
