CALIBRATING THE PEN DISPLAY
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 caused by the display
screen cover glass. Set Cintiq in its working position, then follow the procedure below.
Important: When using a VGA connection,
be sure the display is properly adjusted
before calibrating.
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 T
ABLET 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 C
ALIBRATE... 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
lower-right corner.
7. Test the alignment by positioning the
pen at a few different points on the
display. Click OK to accept the
calibration. Click T
RY AGAIN to
recalibrate.
Note: Read the directions in the calibration
screen for detailed instructions and
additional options. The calibration
setting applies to all applications.
Crosshairs
Adjustment pattern for pitch and phase (VGA only).
See the Cintiq installation guide and hardware
manual for details.
Note: Depending on your product configuration,
“Pitch” may also be referred to as “Clock”.
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 25 mm
(1/10th of an inch) above and to the left of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot 25 mm (1/10th of an
inch) below and to the right of the crosshairs.
