Installation Guide & User’s Manual
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The Wacom® DTU-1931 pen display combines the benefits of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with
the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom’s cordless, battery-free pen technology. This gives
you a direct pen-on-screen interface for your computer.
The basic components of the DTU-1931 include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a
19.0" diagonal TFT color display, and a Wacom pen.
The display and tablet sensor function as an integrated output and input device. The display
supports resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 pixels at 16.7 million colors. The tablet sensor reports pen
coordinates, pressure, and switch information.
The DTU-1931 also comes equipped with a video pass-thru (
simultaneously connect a monitor or projector to the pen display.
This manual describes how to install and use your DTU-1931.
The computer treats the DTU-1931 pen display as two separate devices (the display and the

Notes:
Each DTU-1931 LCD panel is produced under very stringent quality standards. Production techniques
cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect TFT display, and some panels may exhibit a certain number of
pixels that show an incorrect color. See the specifications on page 44 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 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, Wacom recommends using a screen saver or other power management feature.
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the backlight, set your computer’s power management to
turn off the display when it is not in use for extended periods of time.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: You MUST install the Wacom pen tablet driver software for correct pen-on-
screen functionality.
To install the tablet software:
•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 Install icon located on the CD.
•Click on the INSTALL TABLET link 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 DTU-1931
display 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 the
DTU-1931, see the Troubleshooting section beginning on page 28.
Notes:
Driver installation automatically activates the new pen input functions available within Microsoft Windows
Vista and Office 2007 (except for Windows Vista Home Basic). Visit the Wacom web site at
www.wacom.com/vista for additional information on using your Wacom pen in Windows Vista.
User-specific preferences are supported. After logging in, each user can customize their personal settings

WORKING WITH YOUR DTU-1931
As you work with the DTU-1931 pen display you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen,
just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper.
Because the DTU-1931 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
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position your
DTU-1931, 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: 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 DTU-1931
too far from the computer.
The pen tether can be used to ensure your pen stays with your pen display tablet. Simply loop one end of
the tether through the tether hole located on the pen (if so equipped), and the other end of the tether
through the tether connection point located on the left or right side of the tablet.
The DTU-1931 can also be mounted to articulated arms or other third-party stands meeting the VESA 100
specification for display stands. For details, see Using an alternate mount or stand on page 40.

USING THE PEN
Eraser: When equipped and the eraser is brought within 5 mm (0.2 inch)
of the display, the tablet reports the pen location. Pressure information is
reported as you press down on the eraser. By default, the eraser function
is set to E
RASE.
Some non-eraser pens may be configured with a pen tether connection
point.
DuoSwitch (side switch): When equipped, make sure
the programmable switch is in a convenient location
where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger but
not accidentally press it while writing or drawing. You can
use the switch whenever the pen tip is within 5 mm
(0.2 inch) of the display screen surface; you do not need
to touch the pen tip to the display surface. Toggle the
switch in either direction to activate the button functions.
By default, the upper switch is set to D
OUBLE CLICK and
the lower switch is set to R
IGHT CLICK.
Pen tip (replaceable nib): The pen is activated as soon
as it is brought within 5 mm (0.2 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. The tip click
pressure can be adjusted in the Wacom Tablet control
panel.
Notes:
When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen storage compartment, or lay it flat on your desk.
To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its tip.
Some product configurations may come with a pen that has no DuoSwitch or eraser. In that case, you
can ignore all explanations within this guide regarding the side switch or eraser.
The pen is cordless, battery-free, and senses the amount of pressure you apply to the tip. Hold the
pen like you would a normal pen or pencil. As you work with the DTU-1931, you can rest your hand
lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper. You can tilt the pen
in any way that feels most comfortable for drawing.
PEN COMPONENTS
IMPORTANT: Use only the pen that came with your DTU-1931 pen display. Other pens
may not function properly. Also, the DTU-1931 pen tip is specifically designed for use with
the DTU-1931 pen display – the tips on other pens could damage the protective coating on
the pen display screen.
For information on customizing the pen settings, see Customizing on page 21.

BASIC PEN OPERATIONS
Pointing and selecting: Move the pen slightly above the DTU-1931 display
screen to position the screen cursor; you do not need to touch the display
surface. The cursor jumps to the location where you place the pen. Press the
pen tip on the display screen to make a selection.
Note: You must calibrate the pen display tablet to correctly align the screen cursor with
the pen tip. (See Calibrating the DTU-1931 on page 23.) If the screen cursor does not
jump to a position close to the pen tip when you place the pen on the display screen, then
the pen tablet driver may not be installed or is not loading. Install the pen tablet driver
software if necessary. Otherwise, see Troubleshooting, beginning on page 28.
Clicking: Tap the display screen once with the pen tip, or touch the pen to the
display screen with enough pressure to register a click.
Windows tip: To make navigating with the pen easier, configure Windows to select when
the pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this feature,
first open a folder.
For Windows Vista, From the ORGANIZE pull-down menu choose FOLDERAND SEARCH
OPTIONS. From the GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICKTOOPENANITEM (POINTTOSELECT).
Double-clicking: Press the upper side switch, or quickly tap the
display screen twice in the same place with the pen tip.
Double-clicking is easier when the pen is perpendicular to the tablet
screen. See the electronic Software User’s Manual for information
on fine-tuning the double-click area.
Dragging: Select an object, then slide the pen tip across the display screen to
move the object.
, from the TOOLS pull-down menu choose FOLDER OPTIONS.... From the
Using the side switch: The pen may be equipped with a DuoSwitch. This switch has two
programmable functions that can be selected by rocking the switch in either direction. You can use
the DuoSwitch whenever the pen tip is within 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 upper
switch is set to D
OUBLE CLICK, and the lower switch is set to RIGHT CLICK.
Drawing and writing with pressure sensitivity: The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of
your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes within
applications that support this feature. To draw 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. Press lightly for thin lines or softer color. Press harder for
thick lines or dense color.
Erasing: In supporting applications, the pen’s eraser works like the eraser on a
pencil. In text applications, use the eraser to select text, then lift the eraser
from the tablet to delete the text.

CALIBRATING THE DTU-1931
IMPORTANT: When using a VGA
connection, make sure the display is
properly adjusted before calibrating the
tablet. See Adjusting pitch and phase
(VGA only) on page 27, and Adjusting the
display beginning on page 24.
•In the Wacom Tablet control panel, select the
P
EN from the TOOL list and then select the
CALIBRATE tab.
•If you are working with multiple monitors, select
the MONITOR corresponding to the DTU-1931
display. (Only monitors that are set to one of the
resolutions supported by the DTU-1931 will
appear in the list.)
•Click on the C
ALIBRATE... button to activate the
calibration screen.
•Hold the pen and position your head as you
normally do when working with the pen display.
Use the pen tip to click on the center of the
crosshairs in the upper-left corner.
•Then click on the center of the crosshairs that
are displayed in the lower-right corner.
•Test the alignment by positioning the pen at a
few different points on the display. Click OK to
accept the calibration. Click T
RY AGAIN to
recalibrate.
Be sure to read the directions in the calibration
screen for detailed instructions and additional
options. The calibration setting applies to all
applications.
Note: If more than one pen display tablet is
installed on your system, be sure to select the
unit you are working with from the control panel’s
T
ABLET list.
Crosshairs
Adjustment pattern for pitch and phase.
See Adjusting pitch and phase (VGA only) on page 27 for details.
Tip: If you prefer to see the screen cursor slightly offset from the actual position of the pen tip, calibrate
by clicking on a spot showing that offset from the crosshairs. For example, to have the screen cursor
appear 1/10th of an inch above and to the left of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot 1/10th of an
inch below and to the right of the crosshairs.
You must calibrate the pen display tablet in order to align the screen cursor with the position of the
pen on the display screen. This is required to adjust for parallax caused by the display screen cover
glass and coating. Set the DTU-1931 in its working position, then follow the procedure below.
