Calibrating Cintiq

You may want to calibrate Cintiq and the Grip Pen in order to align the screen cursor position with the position of the Grip Pen on the display screen. This may be required to adjust for parallax caused by the display screen overlay. After setting Cintiq in its working position, follow the procedure below to calibrate the tablet and pen.

In the Wacom Tablet Control Panel, select the Calibration tab.

If you are working with mul- tiple displays, be sure the display corresponding to Cintiq is selected in the Monitor menu. (The de- scription may vary depend- ing on the platform you are working with. For example, on a Macintosh system the option is Cintiq 15X.)

Click on the Calibrate... but- ton to display the calibration screen.

Hold the pen as you nor- mally do, and use the pen tip to click on the cross-hairs in the upper-left corner.

Then click on the cross-hairs that are displayed in the lower-right corner.

(For Windows systems, or SGI or Sun workstations, you will need to click Apply or OK for the changes to take effect.)

Note: The calibration setting applies to all applications.
