Calibrating your pen display

You will need to calibrate the DTF-521/PL-521 pen display tablet in order to align the screen cursor position with the position of the pen on the display screen. This is required to adjust for parallax caused by the acrylic display screen cover and coating. Set the pen display in its working position, then follow the procedure below.

Important: Make sure the LCD monitor is properly adjusted before calibrating the tablet. See Adjusting pitch and phase on page 27, and Adjusting the LCD monitor beginning on

page 24.
