PEN FEATURES
Pen switch): Be sure the pen’s programmable switch is in a convenient location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger but not accidentally press it while using the pen. You can use the switch whenever the pen tip is within proximity of the display screen surface; you do not need to touch the pen tip to the display surface.
Note: The DTU-1031 pen has a side switch, and the DTU1031X pen does not. The DTU-1031 pen can be used with the DTU-1031X. To obtain a DTU-1031 pen, please contact your Wacom representative.
Pen tip (replaceable nib): The pen is activated as soon as it is brought within proximity (5 mm/.2 inch) of the pen display screen. This allows you to position the screen cursor without touching the pen tip to the display 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.
Notes:
When not in use, place the pen in the pen storage compartment or the pen stand, or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a position where it will rest on its tip.
Place the pen into the storage compartment by inserting the nib end of the pen into the left side of the compartment with the side switch up. Gently press the pen into the compartment. Take care not to damage the pen nib.
Important: Use only a pen specified for use with your pen display. Other pens may not function properly. Also, the pen tip is specifically designed for use with the pen display. If your pen display has a coated surface, the tips on other pens could damage the pen display screen.
PEN TETHER
A pen tether to secure the pen to the pen display is provided. The pen is secured by threading the tether through the hole at the end of the pen and one of the tether holes at the top of the pen display. The attachment holes for the tether are shown in the Rear view.

STEP 1: PEN DISPLAY INSTALLATION
In this step, the interactive pen display is installed as a monitor on your system. In addition, a second software application will be installed to allow the pen display to work properly. The additional applications are DisplayLink for the DTU-1031, and Magic Control Technology (MCT) for the DTU-1031X.
Begin the installation by completing the first two steps below. Then follow the directions for the DTU-1031 or DTU-1031X section to install the additional application.
Important: You MUST install the Wacom software and the DisplayLink (DTU-1031) or MCT (DTU-1031X) software for correct pen-on-screen functionality. You cannot use a DTU-1031 and DTU-1031X connected to the same computer at the same time.
1.Save your work and close all open applications. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.
2.Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer menu does not automatically display, double-click on the INSTALL icon located on the CD. You can also download and install the latest software driver from the Wacom website for your region.
3.Click INSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the drivers for the pen display.
•On Mac OS, the DisplayLink or MCT driver will also be installed during this process.
•On Windows, the DisplayLink or MCT driver will be installed automatically when you connect your pen display to your computer for the first time.
•You can also download and install the DisplayLink driver from www.DisplayLink.com, and the MCT driver from www.wacom.com.
•See Notes 3 and 4 below for information on re-installing and uninstalling drivers.
4.Reactivate your virus protection program.
5.If you have trouble installing the pen display, see troubleshooting.
Notes:
1.Driver installation automatically activates the new pen input functions available within Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, and XP (except for Windows Starter and Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Basic). User-specific preferences are supported. After logging in, each user can customize their personal settings in the Wacom Control Panel. Switching to another user will automatically load the settings for that user.
2.On the Macintosh, you must restart your computer after installing the Wacom driver.
3.If you installing the Wacom and MCT drivers on a DTU-1031X, you must first uninstall any Wacom or DisplayLink drivers already on the system. To uninstall the driver for the tablet, DisplayLink or MCT, see uninstalling the interactive pen display.
4.If you do not use the provided CD for Wacom tablet driver installation, for example if you download the Wacom driver from the Wacom website, DisplayLink or MCT will not install. You will need to download the DisplayLink driver, or the MCT driver, from the websites shown in step 3 of the procedure above, and install it separately. You can also reinstall either driver by using the Wacom Installation CD. However, on the DTU-1031X, you will need to uninstall any Wacom tablet or DisplayLink drivers before reinstalling.
5.DisplayLink does not support 64-bit Windows XP, and MCT does not support Windows Vista.
6.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 managing preferences.

STEP 2: PEN TABLET INSTALLATION
In this step, the interactive pen display is installed as a pen tablet.
USB CABLE INSTALLATION
1.Place your pen display face-down near your computer, using a soft cloth underneath the pen display to protect the surface.
2.Plug the square end of the USB cable into the USB port of the pen display.
3.Place the USB cable attachment on the USB cable as shown, to prevent it from becoming unplugged. If you need to remove the attachment, press in on both sides of the attachment and lift up.
4.Turn the pen display face up.
5.Plug the two connectors at the other end of the USB cable into two available USB ports on your computer.
Note: Wacom recommends that you use both of these USB connectors to ensure adequate power for the pen display. However, your system may operate satisfactorily with just one USB connector attached to your computer.
6.Turn on your computer.
7.Check the status light (LED) on your pen display. When there is a connection between the computer and the pen display, the status light is dimly lit. When the computer and pen display are connected and the pen is in proximity of the display surface, the status light changes to a steady blue.
8.After completing the software installation (Step 1), make sure you can use your pen on the interactive pen display to move the screen cursor.
9.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.
10.See calibrating and adjusting the pen display to precisely align the screen cursor to the pen tip.
11.To change the brightness of the pen display, adjust the Brightness setting in the Wacom Control Panel (see Customizing).
Note: Windows: If you are using the pen display as a secondary display, you may first need to enable the pen display in your display properties Control Panel.

ADDING OTHER DISPLAY DEVICES
You can connect another display device to your computer’s VGA or DVI connector for use with the pen display. When working with more than one monitor, the pen display will map to the monitors based on 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.
Note: Make sure you complete the pen display installation before connecting another device to the unit.
The Display Toggle function is available for use on systems with more than one monitor. This enables you to toggle the screen cursor between the pen display and other monitors.
Refer to your hardware and operating system documentation for information on connecting other monitors to your computer and configuring your system for use with multiple monitors. Be sure to use the correct cable and connector when adding an additional device to your system.
For troubleshooting tips, see troubleshooting.
Notes for the pen display screen:
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.
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.

USING THE PEN SWITCH
The pen has a programmable switch that can be used whenever the pen tip is within proximity (5 mm (0.2 inch)) of the display screen surface. You do not need to touch the pen tip to the display surface in order to use the switch. By default, the switch is set to RIGHT CLICK. The switch function can be modified or disabled using the Wacom Control Panel. See customizing.
WORKING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
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 the following options for navigating on the other monitors:
•Set the pen switch to the DISPLAY TOGGLE function. You can then press the switch to toggle the 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 standard Wacom tablet (the screen cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or additional displays). See Working with Display Toggle for more information.
•Set the pen switch to MODE TOGGLE. You can then quickly switch between pen mode for working on the pen display and mouse mode for working on the other monitors.
•Set an ExpressKey to DISPLAY TOGGLE or MODE TOGGLE function.
