CALIBRATING CINTIQ
You must calibrate the pen display in order 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 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 the
display” on page 31 and “Adjusting clock
and phase (VGA only)” on page 30.
1. Open the Wacom Tablet control panel.
If more than one pen display is installed on
your system, select the unit your are working
with from the T
ABLET list.
2. Select G RIP P EN from the T OOL list and then
select the C ALIBRATE tab.
3. If you are working with multiple monitors,
select the M
ONITOR corresponding to the Cintiq
display. (Only monitors that are set to one of
the resolutions supported by Cintiq will appear
in the list.)
4. Click on the C ALIBRATE ... button to activate the
calibration screen.
5. Hold the pen and position your head as you
normally do when working with the pen display.
Use the pen tip to click on the center of the
crosshairs in the upper-left corner.
6. Then click on the center of the crosshairs that
are displayed in the lower-right corner.
7. Test the alignment by positioning the pen at a
few different points on the display. Click OK to
accept the calibration. Click T
RY A GAIN to
recalibrate.
Note: Be sure to read the directions in the
calibration screen for detailed instructions
and additional options. The calibration
setting applies to all applications.
Crosshairs
Adjustment pattern for clock and phase.
For details, see “Adjusting clock and
phase (VGA only)” on page 30.
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
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.
