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 34, and
Adjusting the display beginning on page 29.
• In the Wacom Tablet control panel, select the
Grip Pen from the T
OOL
C tab.
ALIBRATE
• If you are working with multiple displays, select
the M option corresponding to the
ONITOR
Cintiq display. (Only displays that are set to
one of the resolutions supported by Cintiq will
appear in the list.)
• Click on the C
ALIBRATE
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 T
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 T
ABLET
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.
