Working With Your Dtf-720; Setting Up Your Work Area - Wacom DTF-720 Installation Manual And User's Manual

WORKING WITH YOUR DTF-720

As you work with the DTF-720 interactive pen display you can rest your hand lightly on the display
screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper.
• Because the DTF-720 drawing surface will be a little higher than your desk, consider adjusting the
height of your desk or chair to assure comfortable use of the device.
• When working with the DTF-720, maintain a good posture at all times and change your position if
you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
• Be careful that you do not pull the cables out of their connections by accidentally moving the
DTF-720 too far from the computer.

Setting up your work area

To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position the DTF-720, the
pen, and your keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. The pen display
and any other monitors 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.
• Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that cause discomfort.
• Alternate between different modes of use.
• Set the DTF-720 pen display tablet on a flat surface when not using it in a hand-held or lap position.

specific situation.
The pen tether can be used to ensure your pen stays with your pen display tablet. Simply loop one end
of the tether through the tether hole located on the pen, and the other end of the tether through the
tether connection point located on the left or right side of the tablet.
Next Step: If you have not already done so, learn about the basics of customizing the pen.
