CALIBRATING THE PEN DISPLAY

You will need to calibrate the pen display tablet in order to align the screen cursor position 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 the pen display in its working position, then follow the procedure below.
Important: When using a VGA connection with
the pen display, make sure the LCD monitor is
properly adjusted before calibrating the tablet.

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.
