Wacom DTZ-1200W, 12WX manual Calibrating Cintiq

CALIBRATING CINTIQ

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 Cintiq in its working position, then follow the procedure below.

Important: When using a VGA connection, make sure the Cintiq is properly adjusted before calibrating the tablet. See Adjusting clock and phase (VGA only) on page 35, and Adjusting the display beginning on page 30.

•In the Wacom Tablet control panel, select the Grip Pen from the TOOL list and then select the CALIBRATE tab.

•If you are working with multiple displays, select the MONITOR option corresponding to the Cintiq display. (Only displays that are set to one of the resolutions supported by Cintiq will appear in the list.)

•Click on the CALIBRATE... button to activate the calibration screen.

•Hold the pen and position your head as you normally do when working with the tablet. 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 TRY 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 Cintiq unit you are working with from the control panel’s TABLET list.

Crosshairs

Adjustment pattern for clock and phase. For details, see Adjusting clock and phase (VGA only) on page 35.

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.
