: 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.
