SETTING UP YOUR CINTIQ
Your Cintiq 24HD interactive pen display functions as both a display and a pen tablet. Follow the
instructions below to complete the hardware and software installation.
System requirements
Step 1: Hardware installation
Step 2: Software installation
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Make sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:
•PC
.
Cintiq 24HD touch
: Windows 7 or later. 32 or 64-bit configurations. DVI, DisplayPort, or VGA port.
Available USB port and CD-ROM drive.
Cintiq 24HD
: Windows 7, Vista (SP2 or later), XP (SP3 or later). 32 or 64-bit configurations.

STEP 1: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
In this step, install the video, USB, and power cables.
Important: Never connect or disconnect the video or power cables while your computer or pen
display are powered on. This can damage the display or video card.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Determine if your computer has a digital (DVI or DisplayPort) or analog (VGA) port. If your computer has
only one video port, unplug your previous monitor or add a second video card. For best results,
connect Cintiq to a DVI-D or DisplayPort card.
3. Follow the below instructions for your video port. Make sure to tighten any connector thumbscrews.
See – A – in the connection diagram
.
4. Using the USB cable located at the base of the Cintiq display stand, connect to an available USB port
on your computer or USB hub attached to your computer. See – B – in the connection diagram
.
5. Connect the power adapter to the display stand extension cable for power. See – C – in the
connection diagram
.
6. Connect the adapter power cable and plug into an AC outlet. See – D – in the connection diagram
.
7. Turn on the pen display. The power LED will glow orange.
For DVI operation, use the DVI-D video cable connector located at the base of the Cintiq
display stand. Connect the cable to the DVI port located on your computer video card.
Cintiq can be connected to either a DVI-D or a DVI-I card.
For DisplayPort operation
, use the DisplayPort cable. The cable is located within the base
of the display stand. Access the DisplayPort cable by removing the rear cover from the
display stand. See cable replacement
for details.
Connect the DisplayPort cable to your computer video card.
For VGA operation
, you will need to completely remove the DVI-D cable and replace it with
the provided DVI-I to VGA cable. See cable replacement
for details.
If connecting to a Mac Mini DisplayPort
, you will need to obtain an appropriate DVI
adapter cable, such as those offered by Kanex, Apple, or other manufacturers.
Check with your local product retailer or an online outlet for availability.

This can damage the display or computer video card.
Only use a power adapter specified for use with your pen display. Use of an improper power adapter may
damage the pen display.
For optimum performance, the display refresh rate should use a vertical frequency of 60 Hz. Make sure the
refresh rate does not exceed the maximum vertical frequency (85 Hz) that Cintiq can support. See the
Important Product Information guide for specifications.

8. Turn on your computer. The interactive pen display will automatically install as a default monitor.
9. As necessary, configure the display control panel settings for the proper size and color resolution.
For best results, set Cintiq to the maximum (native) resolution of 1920x1200. See the Important
Product Information guide located on the Installation CD for details about resolution sizes that can be
used with Cintiq. The display size and color resolution may be constrained by the capabilities of your
video card. To fine-tune, see adjusting the display
.
Windows
: If you are using Cintiq as a secondary display, you may first need to enable Cintiq in your
display properties control panel.
After the LCD monitor portion of the installation is working to your satisfaction, move on to step 2: software
installation.
Notes:
Each LCD panel is produced under very stringent quality standards. Production techniques
cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect display. Wacom does not allow any pixel to be always white.
A small number of subpixels are allowed to show a wrong color for some parts of the color
spectrum. See the Important Product Information guide for more information.
If an image has fine striping (such as screen stripes), it may appear to flicker or display a moiré
pattern.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the display screen surface, it may cause the appearance of a
moiré or pooling pattern. If this occurs, use less pressure on the display screen when working with
the pen.
When a still image is displayed for a long period of time, an after-image may remain for a short time.
To prevent this, use a screen saver or other power management feature.
To extend the life of the pen display backlight, set your computer’s power management to turn off
the display when not in use for extended periods of time.
Your eyes may feel more comfortable if you reduce the display screen brightness when working with
Cintiq for extended periods of time. This will also extend the life of the backlight and reduce the
heat felt on the display screen surface.
Some models may include a color profile on the Installation CD. To activate for use with Cintiq, first
identify Cintiq as a pen display in the system display settings control panel. Then select the Cintiq
profile in the color management control panel. For details, see the color management information in
your operating system and application documentation.
For troubleshooting tips, see troubleshooting

STEP 2: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Save your work and close all open applications. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.
1. Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer menu does not
automatically display, double-click on the I
NSTALL icon located on the CD. (When available, you can
also download and install the latest software driver from the Wacom web site for your region.)
2. Click I
NSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the driver software.
3. Reactivate your virus protection program.
4. After completing the software installation, make sure you can use your pen on the Cintiq display screen
to move the screen cursor.
When you place the pen tip on the display screen, the screen cursor should immediately jump to a
corresponding position approximately beneath the pen tip. Lift the pen tip and place it on the display
screen surface in a different location. The screen cursor should again jump to the new position. This is
known as absolute positioning, and enables you to position the screen cursor without having to drag
your pen across the display screen surface. If your product model supports multi-touch, the screen
cursor will immediately jump to a position beneath your finger tip when you touch the display screen
surface.
5. Check the Read Me file for updated information. Review also the Important Product Information guide
located on the Installation CD for cautions and warnings. If you have trouble installing Cintiq, see
troubleshooting
.
6. Next, precisely align the screen cursor with the pen tip position. See calibrating the pen display
.
Notes:
User-specific preferences are supported. After logging on, each user can customize their personal
settings in the Wacom Tablet control panel. Switching to another user (either by logging on or fast
user switching methods) will automatically load the settings for that user.
If the pen display does not respond properly or you lose cursor control, the pen display preferences
may be corrupted. See managing preferences
to delete the current preference settings and return
the pen display to its factory default condition.
Driver installation automatically activates the pen input functions available within Microsoft
Windows 7, Vista, and Office 2007 or later (except for Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic, and
Windows Vista Home Basic). See pen and digital ink capabilities in Windows
.
The Cintiq 24HD touch does not support operation on Windows Vista or XP systems.
To download a new software driver (when available) from the Internet, see obtaining software
updates.
To uninstall the software driver, see uninstalling Cintiq
.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CINTIQ
The Cintiq 24HD interactive pen display combines the benefits of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with the
control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom’s cordless, battery-free pen technology. This gives you a
direct pen-on-screen interface for your computer. Cintiq 24HD touch also supports multi-touch.
The basic components of your Cintiq include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a high quality
IPS color display, the Wacom Grip Pen, and the Cintiq display stand
.
This manual describes how to set up
and use your Cintiq. The Wacom Tablet control panel enables you to
customize your pen and pen display settings. To learn more, see customizing
.

PEN DISPLAY FEATURES
Take some time to familiarize yourself with the features and components of your Cintiq interactive pen
display. Although they will appear as separate devices to your operating system, the display and tablet
sensor function as an integrated output and input device. The tablet sensor reports pen coordinates,
pressure, tilt, switch, eraser, and other information. If your product model also supports multi-touch, a
touch sensor reports the appropriate information related to your touch actions or gestures.
• Many applications have built-in support for pen display features (such as pressure sensitivity, tilt, and
rotation). Visit the Wacom web site to learn about applications that support these features. See product
information.
• For information on how best to use pen display features within a specific application, see the
instructions in that application’s manuals.
Each product model within the Cintiq family has a specific feature set. Not all models or accessories are
available in all regions.
You will find that icons are located near some of the topic headings in this manual. Use them to quickly
identify sections that have information specific to multi-touch or pen input. Icons will not be used in
sections that commonly apply to all Cintiq models. Model-specific notes may be used as necessary.

PEN FEATURES
Important:
• Use only the pen that came with your product, or a Wacom accessory pen specified for use with
Cintiq. Other pens may not function properly. See available parts and accessories
. Also, the Cintiq
pen tip is specifically designed for use with the Cintiq pen display. The tips on other pens could
damage the Cintiq display screen.
• When not in use, place the pen in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the
sensitivity of your pen, do not store it in a container where it will rest on the tip or eraser.
Improper storage may damage pen tip pressure sensor(s).
Eraser: When brought within proximity of the pen display screen,
the tablet portion of the display reports the pen location.
Pressure information is reported as you press down on the eraser.
By default, the function is set to E
RASE.
Side switch
: Be sure the customizable side switch is in a convenient
location where you can toggle it with your thumb or forefinger but not
accidentally press it while using the pen.
You can use the switch whenever the pen tip is within proximity of the
display screen. You do not need to touch the pen tip to the display
surface.
Toggle the switch in either direction to activate the button functions.
By default, the upper switch is set to D
OUBLE CLICK and the lower
switch is set to R
IGHT CLICK.
Pen tip (replaceable nib)
: The pen activates as soon as it is brought
within proximity of the pen display screen. This allows you to
position the screen cursor without touching the pen tip to the
display screen.
When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the pen simulates a primary
mouse button click. Tip click pressure can be adjusted in the
Wacom Tablet control panel.
Tips:
• The pen enters proximity when the tip or eraser is brought within
5 mm (0.2 inch) of the pen display screen surface.
• To resume operations after the pen display has entered auto
sleep mode, bring the pen tip within proximity or touch the pen
tip on the pen display screen.

DISPLAY STAND LOCATION
Select a location on your desktop or other work surface that is level and stable. This product weighs
approximately 29 kg (64 lbs). Any table or platform on which this product is installed must be able to
support the combined weight of the Cintiq interactive pen display and Cintiq display stand.
• Before moving Cintiq, adjust the pen display height and incline
so the display stand support arms are
locked upright, with Cintiq positioned horizontally. Place all cables on top of the stand base and ensure
they do not hang free. Tripping over loose cables can cause physical damage or personal injury.
• Request assistance from another person or persons. Each person should securely grasp the lower part
of a display support arm near the display stand base. With the other hand, grasp the base of the stand
at the front corner. Using care, lift and carefully move this product while supporting the base of the
stand.
Important: The assembly is heavy. Do not attempt to lift Cintiq by yourself. Each person should use
both hands to securely grasp the product. Grasp the stand base at the corner areas to avoid any
sharp edging. DO NOT lift the pen display itself, otherwise damage might occur to the LCD if it
flexes during movement. Also, the pen display does not have sufficient strength to support the load
of the stand hanging freely from it. Work together, and lift carefully.
• Locate Cintiq on a desktop or other working surface that is flat, clean, and free of any moisture or oily
film. Taking care not to pinch your fingers, do this by first placing the rear half portion of the stand onto
the table surface. Then slide the stand fully into place so that it will not tip or fall.
• When in place, use the incline levers to rotate the display back to a vertical position.
Do not lift by the incline levers or upper portion of the display support arms. Improper operation may lead
to physical injury or damage to the stand. Avoid catching your finger in the gaps of the movable portions
of the stand.
Place Cintiq securely on a level, stable desktop or other working surface. Do not allow any portion of the
display stand base to protrude from the installation surface. Otherwise, Cintiq may fall and cause physical
damage or personal injury.
Do not place this product on any unsteady surface or table. Do not place on slanted areas, unstable areas,
or areas where vibration is present. Physical damage or personal injury may result if this product falls from
an unsuitable surface.
Do not place this product on any wet surface or table. Doing so may cause the pads on the base of this
product to slip, allowing the product to fall.

After placing Cintiq in its primary location, you can shift the unit to different positions.
For those who prefer a more immersive environment, Cintiq has been designed so that you can work with
the pen display overhanging your desktop.
1. Adjust height and incline
so the pen display is slightly above and overhanging the display stand edge.
2. Pull Cintiq toward you. As the front of the stand moves over the edge of your desktop, the friction of
the base pads will increase.
Slide the display stand on your desktop. Turn from side to side.
Prepare by adjusting the display to a
lowered, horizontal (flat) position.
Using a smooth motion, pull Cintiq toward you. If you
feel an increase in friction, stop
pulling. Check to
ensure the display stand base does not extend
beyond desktop edge.
Caution
Use care when adjusting the working position. Use a smooth, horizontal motion when pulling Cintiq toward
you. Do not lift the stand from the desktop. You can move the stand base to align with the edge of your
desktop. DO NOT let the stand base protrude over the desktop.
If you pull too far, and as the front of the stand moves over the edge of your desktop, the friction of the base
pads will increase and “lock” the stand in place. Do not pull beyond this point or past the base pads.
Push the display stand back onto the working surface until the front edge of the stand base aligns with the
edge of the installation surface.
Improper movement or pulling beyond the tipping point will prevent the friction lock from engaging, and
could cause personal injury or damage to the pen display if it were to fall. Cintiq is heavy. Use care when
moving the unit.

ADJUSTING DISPLAY HEIGHT AND INCLINE
You can adjust the pen display height and incline to best meet your needs throughout the day.
To change incline or viewing angle
, face the front of the pen display and grasp it on the left and right side at
approximately the same height as the incline levers. Use your fingertips to gently squeeze or pull the
incline levers toward the pen display. This will release a clutch mechanism. As you squeeze the levers, tilt
the pen display to adjust the viewing angle.
• Squeeze the incline levers on both sides of the pen display at the same time. For example: squeeze
both lower levers, or squeeze both upper levers.
• For a flatter incline
, squeeze the lower levers and gently rotate Cintiq down to the desired position.
• For a more vertical incline
, squeeze the upper levers and gently rotate Cintiq up to the desired position.
• As you tilt the pen display, the support arms may travel to follow your movements.
• Release the incline levers to lock in place.
• Pay attention to how the pen display feels as you adjust incline or viewing angle. You may find
instances where it is easier to use the upper levers instead of the lower, and vice versa.
Notes:
The incline levers exhibit some natural play before the clutch mechanism engages.
When tilting the display upward to a more vertical position, you may notice the stand wanting to slip
forward. Use the upper incline levers and pull Cintiq slightly toward you as you tilt the display
upward.

WORKING WITH YOUR CINTIQ
The Cintiq 24HD interactive pen display and Cintiq display stand were designed for a wide range of
flexibility and ergonomic work approach. The design allows you to quickly adjust Cintiq to a different
height and position whenever the need arises. Experiment by adjusting display height and incline
to
determine which best fits your particular working style and tasks.
As you work with Cintiq you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a drawing
board or sheet of paper.
Cintiq 24HD touch models allow you to work simultaneously with the pen and multi-touch. This enables
you to use a pen with one hand and use your other hand for touch gestures within supporting applications.
• The pen has priority over touch. For example:
If you are using touch to drag an icon across the desktop and then bring the pen into proximity of the
display screen surface, the pen will take control of the screen cursor.
If you are working with the pen and then want to use touch, first lift the pen away from the display
screen surface.
• Your hand holding the pen is not recognized as a touch gesture. For best results remember to bring the
pen tip into proximity before resting your hand and wrist on the display screen surface.
Because the Cintiq pen display 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.

USING THE GRIP PEN
The cordless, battery-free pen senses the amount of pressure and tilt you apply to the tip. There are four
basic techniques for using the pen: pointing, clicking, double-clicking, and dragging. If you are unfamiliar
with using the pen, see the following pages.
Note: For Cintiq models that support both pen and multi-touch, you can simultaneously use the pen and
touch when working within a supporting application. For example, you might use multi-touch with
the pen when mixing colors in Photoshop. Remember, the pen has priority over touch whenever the
pen tip or eraser is within proximity of the pen display screen. Lift the pen and your hand away from
the display screen surface to enable touch.
If you experience unintended touch actions, manually disable touch by pressing an ExpressKey that
has been set to T
OUCH ON/OFF. See customizing pen display functions. When done working with
the pen, press the ExpressKey to enable touch. You can also use the Wacom Tablet control panel to

BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST CONTROLS
BRIGHTNESS. Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness.
Notes:
The brightness level is adjusted using the backlight output. The display will digitally compensate for
low or high brightness levels. If digital compensation occurs, the brightness value on the OSD will
change to magenta.
Optimal display performance will be in the range where the OSD brightness value is black.
When the display cannot achieve the desired brightness, the numerical brightness value on the OSD
will blink.
For low brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by adjusting the screen
contrast to achieve the desired brightness. This will result in a reduced contrast ratio and the OSD
indicator will change to magenta.
For high brightness settings, the display will automatically compensate by turning down uniformity
compensation in order to achieve the desired brightness. The OSD indicator will change to magenta
and this may result in decreased uniformity.
C
ONTRAST (analog input only). Adjusts the overall image and background screen brightness by input signal
level.
Note: It is recommended that you use B

THE MULTI-TOUCH EXPERIENCE WITH CINTIQ
The Cintiq 24HD interactive pen display is designed to enhance the way you work. Multi-touch enables
you to interact with a computer using only your fingertips on the Cintiq display screen surface.
You can use touch on Cintiq as you would on any other Mac or Windows device, such as phones,
trackpads, and notebooks. First learn the basic actions to navigate and perform typical mouse operations.
Then learn how to scroll, zoom, and rotate.
Touch is activated whenever you touch the display screen surface.
• When using touch, you can generally position your fingers as far apart as is comfortable.
However, placing your fingers too closely together may be interpreted by Cintiq as input from a single
finger, or Cintiq may confuse which finger initiated or performed an action or gesture. Your fingers must
remain within the active area of the screen surface.
• Experiment with touch to see what works best for you. Take care to prevent accidental touches on the
display screen when making gestures. For example, if your small finger touches the display screen
surface when zooming or scrolling, then you may trigger an unanticipated right-click.
Note: For product models that support both pen and multi-touch, you can simultaneously work with the
pen and touch in supporting applications. For example, you might use touch to turn a 3D object
while using the pen to sculpt a surface texture. The pen has priority over touch whenever the pen tip
or eraser is within proximity of the pen display screen. Lift the pen and your hand away from the
display screen surface to enable touch.

CALIBRATING THE PEN DISPLAY
For optimum performance, 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
. Set Cintiq in its working position, then follow the below procedure.
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.
Important: If using a VGA
connection, first R
ESET the pen
display. See On Screen Display
(OSD) settings.
1. Open the Wacom Tablet control panel.
If more than one pen display is installed
on your system, select the pen display
you are working with from the T
ABLET list.
2. Select G
RIP PEN from the TOOL list.
Then select the C
ALIBRATE tab.
3. If you are working with multiple monitors,
select the M
ONITOR corresponding to
your Cintiq. Only monitors that are set to
one of the resolutions supported by
Cintiq will appear in the list.
4. Click C
ALIBRATE... 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 upper-right,
lower left, and lower right corners.
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 AGAIN to recalibrate.

CUSTOMIZING THE PEN
Use the pen when opening the Wacom Tablet control panel. The pen will be selected in the TOOL list and
the appropriate tabs will be displayed. If not automatically selected, choose the pen from the T
OOL list.
Select a tab and choose from the available options.
Wacom offers a number of optional pens, such as the Art Pen and Airbrush, that are compatible for use
with Cintiq.
• The Art Pen features a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, as well as sensitivity to tilt and rotation.
Rotating the barrel in supporting applications creates a unique effect.
• The Airbrush is a true digital airbrush. It features a pressure-sensitive tip and eraser, tilt sensitivity, and
a fingerwheel to control the application of digital paint.
These tools are fully supported in the Wacom driver software. They will appear in the T
OOL list of the
Wacom Tablet control panel after you touch the pen display screen with the tip of the tool. The control
panel will automatically update to show the new tool and the options available for customization.
In supporting applications you can adjust the functionality of the Art Pen rotation or the Airbrush
fingerwheel within the application. See the documentation that came with your application for details.
To learn more about these and other optional tools that can be used with Cintiq, visit www.wacom.com and
choose the Wacom web site for your region. On the web site you can also learn about applications that
currently support the advanced features of these tools.

Click to further customize
the tip sensitivity.
Tips
:
• Use a soft T
IP FEEL for a wider range of pressure values in most pressure-sensitive applications.
• In some applications a soft pressure setting can make the pen overreact so that slight pressure on the pen
will be magnified on the screen. If you experience this, try a firmer T
IP FEEL setting.
• To make double-clicking easier, expand the tap area that accepts a double-click (the double-click distance).
• A large double-click distance may cause a delay at the beginning of brush strokes in some drawing
applications. This may also cause a delay at the beginning of a drag action or inking stroke. If you notice
such effects, try setting a smaller double-click distance and using the side switch to double-click. You can
also set an ExpressKey to double-click
.

between Cintiq and the entire desktop or newly mapped-to
display. Depending on your settings, some portions of the
active area may no longer be usable when this option is
selected. When deselected, the correct scale or
proportions are not maintained. For example, drawing a
circle on the pen display may create an ellipse on a
mapped-to display screen.
•U
SE INSET AREA limits the active area to a sizing of 6 x 8
inches. If F
ORCE PROPORTIONS is also selected, this sizing
may be less. When deselected, as much of the active area

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC SETTINGS
You can customize your tools for use with a particular application. For example, you may prefer a firm pen
tip pressure setting in one application and a soft pressure setting in another. The A
PPLICATION list enables
you to add an individual application to the list and then customize your tool settings for that application.
• When no application-specific settings have been created
and a tool is selected from the TOOL list, the
A
PPLICATION list displays the ALL icon which contains tool settings that apply to all of your applications.
In the example below, no application-specific settings have been added for the G
RIP PEN. The ALL icon
is displayed and the G
RIP PEN will have the same settings in all applications.
• When application-specific settings are added
, the ALL icon changes to ALL OTHER and an application
icon is displayed for the newly added application(s).
In the above example, application-specific settings have been added for the G
RIP PEN. If you select the
A
LL OTHER icon and make changes to the GRIP PEN settings, your changes will apply to the GRIP PEN in
all applications except those which you have added to the A
PPLICATION list. If you select an application
icon and make changes to the G
RIP PEN settings, your changes will apply to the GRIP PEN while you are
using that application only.
When you create application-specific settings, you are creating a separate group of settings for the
selected tool and application. See the following sections for more details:
Creating an application-specific setting
Changing application-specific settings

TESTING CINTIQ
1. If the interactive pen display power LED does not light, check the following:
• First verify that the light on the power adapter is on. If the light is not on, check that the power cable
is properly connected between the power adapter and an active AC outlet.
• Check that the power adapter cable is securely connected to the Cintiq display stand extension
cable for power and that the pen display power switch is turned on. The power LED will glow
orange or blue whenever the pen display is on.
Important: Use only an AC adapter specified for use with your pen display. Other adapters may
cause damage to your product.
2. If there is no display:
• Make sure that your computer is turned on. The power LED will glow blue when the proper video
signal is received. It will glow orange if there is no video signal or if the computer is in a power
saving mode.
• Verify that the pen display is connected to an active digital (DVI or DisplayPort) or analog (VGA)
video port.
• Check that your video card has been properly installed and is functional. If you have another
display that is compatible with your video card, you can connect that display to the card in order to
verify that the video card is operating correctly.
3. Verify that the pen and the tablet portion of your pen display are working:
• Press the pen tip against the display and verify that the status LED lights blue.
• If the LED does not light, verify that the USB cable is plugged into an active USB port. If Cintiq is
plugged into a USB hub, try plugging it directly into the USB port on your computer.
• Be sure that the USB port to which you are connecting has not been disabled. It may be necessary
to check your system BIOS setting to verify that you have connected the pen display to an active
USB port.
• The status LED will light blue when Cintiq is registered as a USB device and the pen tip is pressed
against the display.
4. Check the pen
. If you cannot make a selection on the display screen with the pen:
• Test the pen by pressing the pen tip or eraser against the surface of the pen display. The pen
display status LED should light blue.
• Now, without applying pressure to the pen tip but keeping the pen within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the pen
display surface, press the side switch. The status LED should again light blue.
• If the status LED does not light blue for these tests, be sure you are using a pen specified for use
with your product.
•See testing controls and input tools
and testing a pen for more information.

TESTING CONTROLS AND INPUT TOOLS
If the Grip Pen or the Cintiq controls do not work as you expect, it is a good idea to first check the
assigned functions or reset them to their default conditions. You will also want to do this if you have a
touch-sensitive model and encounter problems with multi-touch.
A quick way to return a pen to its default condition is to remove it from the control panel T
OOL list. Do this
by selecting the pen and clicking on the T
OOL list [ – ] button. After the pen has been removed, place it
back onto the display screen surface. The pen will be added back to the T
OOL list with its default settings.
• Open the Wacom Tablet control panel and click on the A
BOUT button. In the dialog box that appears,
click D
IAGNOSE.... The DIAGNOSTICS dialog box shows dynamic information about the Cintiq pen display,
your input tool(s), and appropriate information for touch-sensitive models.
• If more than one pen display or tablet is connected to your system, in the T
ABLET INFO column select the
product you are testing.
• Use the information shown in the D
IAGNOSTICS dialog box when testing your pen display and pen.
Note: If a tool button is set to R
ADIAL MENU or OPEN/RUN..., that function will occur when the button is
pressed. In this case you may want to change the button function before testing.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This section provides tips for the care and maintenance of your Cintiq 24HD interactive pen display.
Caring for Cintiq
Replacing the pen nib
CARING FOR CINTIQ
Keep the Grip Pen and the Cintiq LCD screen surface clean. Dust and dirt particles can stick to the pen
and cause excessive wear to the display screen surface. Regular cleaning will help prolong the life of your
LCD screen surface and pen.
Keep Cintiq, the Cintiq display stand, and the Grip Pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in
temperature. Room temperature is best.
Cintiq, the display stand, and the Grip Pen are not made to come apart. Taking apart the product will void
your warranty.
Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto the pen display or pen. Be especially careful of
getting the display, ExpressKeys, Touch Rings, or pen buttons and tip wet as they contain sensitive
electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.
Prevent scratching by replacing your pen nibs frequently. When the nibs are worn or pointed they can
damage your pen display. See replacing the pen nib
.
To clean the Cintiq casing, the Cintiq display stand, or the Grip Pen
, use a soft, damp cloth; you can also
dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, or
other solvents to clean the product casing or pen.
To clean the display screen
, use an anti-static cloth or a slightly damp cloth. When cleaning, apply only a
light amount of pressure to the display screen and do not make the surface wet. Do not use detergent to
clean the display screen; this may damage the pen display screen. Damage of this kind is not covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty.

REPLACING THE PEN NIB
To protect your pen display from scratching and for best performance, periodically replace your pen nibs.
Important: Replace the pen nib before or when it looks like this:
1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib removal tool and replacement nibs.
2. Clasp the old nib and pull it straight out of the pen. Use the nib removal tool, pair of tweezers,
needle-nosed pliers, or similar instrument.
The pen nib (tip) will wear with normal use.
Excessive pressure will cause it to wear
sooner.
Replace the nib when it gets too short or
develops a flat point.

3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
For replacement parts, see ordering parts and accessories
.
Important:
• When not in use, place the pen in the pen stand or lay it flat on your desk.
• When the optional Airbrush is not in use, lay it flat on your desk.
• To maintain the sensitivity of your input tools, do not store them in a container where they will rest
on their tip or eraser. Improper storage may damage the pen tip pressure sensor(s).
Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nib or side switch. The pen nib or side switch
may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
Warning
Nib Replace when 1 mm
(0.04 inch) or less.

REMOVING CINTIQ FROM THE DISPLAY STAND
The Cintiq interactive pen display has been specifically designed for use when mounted on the Cintiq
display stand. However, there may be times when it will be necessary to remove the pen display from the
stand. For example, you may want to locate the pen display on a suitable VESA mounting arm.
See using an alternate mount or stand
.
Important: Request assistance from another person when removing Cintiq from the stand. Cintiq is heavy.
Use care when working with or moving the unit.
To remove the pen display from the stand:
1. First disconnect all cables from between the display stand and your computer. Then move Cintiq to a
location with adequate space for disassembly.
• Adjust height and incline so the display stand support arms are locked upright, with Cintiq positioned
horizontally. Place all cables on top of the stand base and ensure they do not hang free. Tripping over loose
cables can cause physical damage or personal injury.
• Request assistance from another person or persons. Each person should securely grasp the lower part of a
display support arm near the display stand base. With the other hand, grasp the base of the stand at the
front corner. Using care, lift and carefully move this product while supporting the base of the stand.
Important: The assembly is heavy. Do not attempt to lift Cintiq by yourself. Each person should use
both hands to securely grasp the product. Grasp the stand base at the corner areas to avoid any sharp
edging. DO NOT lift the pen display itself, otherwise damage might occur to the LCD if it flexes during
movement. Also, the pen display does not have sufficient strength to support the load of the stand
hanging freely from it. Work together, and lift carefully.
• Locate Cintiq on a desktop or other working surface that is flat, clean, and free of any moisture or oily film.
Taking care not to pinch your fingers, do this by first placing the rear half portion of the stand onto the table
surface. Then slide the stand fully into place so that it will not tip or fall.
• When in place, use the incline levers to rotate the display back to a vertical position.

2. Prepare the pen display. Adjust height and incline so that both display support arms are in their upright,
locked position. The pen display incline should be approximately 45 degrees to the stand base. As a
unit, carefully pivot Cintiq and the display stand on the stand base edge so the display can be placed
face down on a soft cloth or other protective surface.
Carefully adjust the incline levers until the pen display screen lies flat on your work surface. This also
allows for access to the display support arm brackets. Correct placement will have the base of the
stand aligned on edge near the bottom of the pen display.
3. Ready the stand for removal. Remove the cable connector covers from the back of the pen display.
Disconnect the cables.
Do not allow the pen display to drop onto the work surface. Avoid catching your finger in the gaps of the
movable portions of the stand.

4. If using the connection cables in a different mounting configuration, properly remove them from the
display stand. See cable replacement
.
5. Remove the screws that secure the support arm brackets to the pen display. There are 4 Phillips
screws per bracket. Save these screws for future use.
6. Lift the stand away from the pen display.
7. If you will be using the interactive pen display in an installation that requires the use of an alternate
mounting platform, see using an alternate mount or stand
. Always replace the cable connector covers
on the back of the pen display.
Do not operate the incline levers unless the display support arms are roughly located within their mounting
brackets and you are placing some amount of leverage on the support arms to hold them in place.
The incline levers are spring-loaded and may cause injury or damage if released without weight on the
stand support arms. Improper operation may lead to physical injury or damage to the stand.
Avoid catching your finger in the gaps of the movable portions of the stand.

USING APPLICATIONS INTEGRATED FOR TABLET CONTROL
Some software applications may be designed to directly control ExpressKey or Touch Ring functions.
When working in an application that has been integrated in this manner, the ExpressKeys or Touch Rings
may perform differently than the function that is set in the Wacom Tablet control panel.
• When an ExpressKey is overridden by an application, the ExpressKey setting will automatically update,
using either “Application Defined” or the new function name. Some or all of the ExpressKeys may be
overridden, depending on the application.
• When an application overrides a Touch Ring, all Touch Ring functions are affected. If an application
overrides only some of the available Touch Ring functions, the remaining function(s) are set to S
KIP.
• An integrated application will control the ExpressKeys or Touch Rings only when that application is
active and in the foreground. When you close the application or select a new application pane to work
in, your Wacom Tablet control panel settings are returned to their previous state.
• To review ExpressKey, Touch Ring, or pen function settings for the current front-most application, set
an ExpressKey to S
ETTINGS and press the key at any time.
Applications that have been integrated in this manner will typically provide you with the opportunity to
opt-out or disable this functionality when first using your Wacom product with the application. See the
documentation provided with your application for any specific details on functionality and how to
customize or disable this feature.
If an automatic prompt or the application’s documentation do not describe how to disable this behavior,
you can use the Wacom Tablet control panel to create application-specific settings
that will override the
behavior of the integrated application. See also managing preferences
.
Important: If an application-specific setting has been created for an integrated application, setting
an ExpressKey or Touch Ring function to A
PPLICATION DEFINED will still allow the integrated
application to control the function.

GLOSSARY
Active area. The area of the pen display where multi-touch or your Cintiq tools are detected. See touch
sensor.
Application-specific settings
. Cintiq tool and tablet settings that have been customized for individual
applications. The Wacom Tablet control panel enables you to customize a tool to behave uniquely in
different applications. Application-specific settings
are in effect whenever you use the application.
Aspect
. The ratio between the vertical and horizontal dimension of the active area on the pen display.
Click force
. The amount of force you must apply to the pen tip for a click to occur.
Double-click assist
. A function of the Wacom Tablet control panel that makes it easier to double-click by
setting the size of the double-click distance.
Double-click distance
. The maximum distance (in screen pixels) that the screen cursor can move between
clicks and still be accepted as a double-click. Increasing the double-click distance makes double-clicking
easier, but may cause a delay in brush strokes in some graphics applications.
Eraser-aware application
. A software application that has built-in support for the pen eraser.
These applications take advantage of the eraser in different ways, depending on what makes sense for
the application.
Expand
. A motion used when navigating with multi-touch. Touch the pen display surface with two fingers
spaced closely together. Then while still touching the display surface, move your fingers apart.
ExpressKeys
. The customizable control keys located on the pen display. See using the ExpressKeys.
Fingerwheel
. The control wheel on the optional Airbrush.
Hardware control buttons
. The function buttons located on the pen display. See using the hardware
control buttons.
Journal
. A Microsoft Windows application that electronically simulates a physical journal pad, but with the
advantages of digital note taking. For example, you can create quick sketches and jot handwritten notes
that can be converted to text and sent on to colleagues for digital mark-up. Journal includes a variety of
pen, marker, and highlighter tools, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser end of your Wacom
pen. Additionally, your handwritten content is searchable within Journal.
LED
. Light-Emitting Diode. Used as pen display indicator light(s).
Modifier
. Modifier keys include SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL for Windows, or SHIFT, CONTROL, COMMAND, and OPTION
for Mac. You can customize your Cintiq tool buttons or ExpressKeys to simulate a modifier key.

Mouse acceleration
. A setting that allows you to adjust the screen cursor acceleration when using mouse
mode.
Mouse mode
. A method for positioning the screen cursor. When you place a Cintiq tool on the tablet, you
can move the screen cursor with a “pick up and slide” motion similar to using a traditional mouse. This is
known as relative positioning. See also pen mode
.
Mouse speed
. A setting that allows you to adjust the speed at which your screen cursor moves when using
mouse mode.
Multi-touch
. The ability to use multi-finger gestures on the interactive pen display.
Navigate

Pan
. A motion used when navigating with multi-touch. Touch the pen display surface with your fingers and
move them in the same direction.
Parallax
. The angular distortion of an object’s position when viewed through glass or other medium.
You must calibrate the pen display to compensate for this effect, and to align the screen cursor with the
position of the pen on the display screen.
Pen input
. A method of controlling a computer using the pen on your interactive pen display.
Pen mode
. A method of positioning the screen cursor. Wherever you place your Cintiq pen on the pen
display tablet, the screen cursor will jump to the corresponding point on the screen. This is known as
absolute positioning, and is the default setting for the pen. Pen mode allows you to quickly position the
screen cursor without having to first find it and then move it across the desktop. See also mouse mode
.
Pinch
. A motion used when navigating with multi-touch. Touch the pen display surface with two fingers
spaced slightly apart. Then while still touching the display surface, move or ‘pinch’ your fingers together.
Pixel
. The smallest unit of measure on your display screen.
Pressure sensitive
. A quality of the Wacom pen tip and eraser that senses the amount of pressure being
applied. This is used to create natural-looking pen, brush, and eraser strokes in applications that are
pressure sensitive.
No parallax. The pen tip and screen
cursor are aligned.
Parallax effect caused by display screen
glass. Note how the position of the pen
tip and screen cursor are not aligned.

input tools or Cintiq to display this menu.
Rotate
. A motion used when navigating with multi-touch. Touch the pen display surface with two fingers
spaced slightly apart and move (rotate) them in a circular fashion, or move them in opposing directions.
Alternatively, hold one finger stationary and move your other finger around the stationary finger.
Screen cursor
. The pointer on the display screen. Screen cursors come in different shapes (such as an
I-beam, arrow, or box), depending on which application you are running.
Swipe
. A motion used when navigating with multi-touch. Touch the pen display surface with three, four, or
five fingers and move them in the same direction.
Tablet PC Input Panel (TIP)
. The Microsoft Windows Tablet PC Input Panel enables you to use your Wacom
pen to create handwritten notes or work with an on-screen keyboard. The Input Panel dynamically
converts your handwriting to text. The information you create can then be inserted into other documents,
spreadsheets, or illustrations.
Tap
. A motion used when navigating with multi-touch. Touch and lift a single finger (or multiple fingers,
depending on the gesture) from the pen display surface.
Tilt sensitive
. A quality of the pen tip and eraser that senses the amount of tilt between the tool and tablet.
This is used to create natural-looking pen, brush, and eraser strokes in applications that are tilt sensitive.
