I

NFO

column.

2.

Move your tool along the tablet surface. The X and Y D

position.

3.

Test your pen switches. The Cintiq status LED should light blue each time you click with the tool tip,
press the side switch, or press the tool’s eraser to the display screen.

Press on the display screen surface with the tool tip – the S

WITCHES

state and P

RESSURE

should change. (P

RESSURE

should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to

approximately 100% when full pressure is applied.)

Next, press the side switch without pressing the tip to the tablet – the S

WITCHES

state should

change. (For the Grip Pen, do this for both positions of the DuoSwitch.)

Press the tool’s eraser to the display screen – the S

WITCHES

state and P

RESSURE

value should

change. (P

RESSURE

should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to

approximately 100% when full pressure is applied.)

For the optional Airbrush, move the fingerwheel forward – the W

HEEL

value should decrease to

a value of approximately 0 when the fingerwheel is all the way forward. Move the fingerwheel
backward – the W

HEEL

value should increase to approximately 1000 when the fingerwheel is all

the way back.

4.

Test tilt for the x-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the right; the X T

ILT

value

should change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool to the left of vertical; the X T

ILT

value should change from approximately 0 to -60.

5.

Test the tilt for the y-axis by moving the pen from a vertical position toward the bottom of the tablet;
the Y T

ILT

value should change from approximately 0 to +60. Now move the tool toward the top of

the tablet; the Y T

ILT

value should change from approximately 0 to +60.

6.

For the optional 6D Art Pen, test the rotation feature by placing the pen tip on the display screen
surface and slowing rotating the pen on its axis. The R

OTATION

value should change as you rotate

the pen.

7.

When you are done, click on the C

LOSE
