CALIBRATING THE PEN DISPLAY

For optimum performance, you must calibrate the pen display to align the screen cursor with the position of the pen on the display screen. This is required to compensate for viewing angle, and to adjust for parallax. Set Cintiq in its working position, then follow the below procedure.

Important: If using a VGA connection, first RESET the pen display. See On Screen Display (OSD) settings.

1.Open the Wacom Tablet control panel.

If more than one pen display is installed on your system, select the unit you are working with from the TABLET list.

2.Select GRIP PEN from the TOOL list. Then select the CALIBRATE tab.

3.If you are working with multiple monitors, select the MONITOR corresponding to your Cintiq. Only monitors that are set to one of the resolutions supported by Cintiq will appear in the list.

4.Click CALIBRATE... to activate the calibration screen.

5.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.

6.Then click on the center of the crosshairs that are displayed in the upper-right, lower left, and lower right corners.

7.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.

Crosshairs

Tip: 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

2.5mm (1/10th of an inch) above and to the left of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot 2.5 mm (1/10th of an inch) below and to the right of the crosshairs.
