SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
The Cintiq 21UX pen display and stand were designed to provide you with the widest possible range of flexibility and ergonomic work approach. The design allows you to quickly adjust Cintiq to a different position whenever the need arises. You may want to experiment with different height adjustments to determine which best fits your particular working style and tasks.
As you work with Cintiq, you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper.
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position Cintiq, the Grip Pen, and your keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. The pen display tablet and any other displays should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain.
Here are some other points to keep in mind:
•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.
•Alternate between different modes of use.
