Calibrating Cintiq - Wacom CINTIQ 21UX DTK-2100 Installation Manual

CALIBRATING CINTIQ

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 below procedure.
Important: When using a VGA connection,
make sure the Cintiq is properly adjusted
before calibrating. See "Adjusting the
display" on page 38 and "Adjusting pitch
and phase (VGA only)" on page 37.

Note: Read the directions in the calibration
screen for detailed instructions and
additional options. The calibration
setting applies to all applications.
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 2.5 mm (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.
