INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY INSTALLATION GUIDE AND USER'S MANUAL 1 Introduction and Overview The Wacom® CintiqTM 18SX Interactive Pen Display combines an LCD display with a Wacom tablet. This gives you a direct point-and-draw-on-screen interface that can be used with a Personal Computer (PC), Macintosh® computer, or SGITM or Sun® workstation. Cintiq's basic components include a Wacom tablet internally mounted behind an 18.1" diagonal TFT color LCD display, and Wacom's Grip Pen. Your Cintiq Interactive Pen Display offers a number of significant advantages over a standard display: s s s s s Integrated input and display Pressure-sensitive drawing directly on the display screen Reduced power consumption and heat generation Requires less work space Flicker free and easier on the eyes. Cintiq comes with a modular display stand, which allows you to easily rotate the Interactive Pen Display unit to any orientation, and to adjust the incline of the working surface to any angle between 13 and 70 degrees. You can also lock Cintiq in either a landscape or portrait orientation. If you prefer to use Cintiq on your lap, simply lift the display unit out of the stand. Please refer to Working with Cintiq on page 32 for more information. The workspace, and how you interact with it, was an important consideration in the design and development of Cintiq. Regardless of how you prefer to work with the Interactive Pen Display, you will find that Cintiq is ideally suited to a variety of diverse professional fields and applications. Cintiq is especially useful in the fields of animation, graphics design, 3D modeling, and video and film post-production. Some additional areas of use include architectural design, AV presentations, industrial design, medical imaging, textile design, and any others where direct manipulation of the screen image is useful. This manual describes how to install the Cintiq hardware and software. It also describes how to use Cintiq, the Grip Pen, and the modular display stand. The Interactive Pen Display and the Cintiq stand are packed separately. Refer to Unpacking Cintiq on page 12 before removing Cintiq or the stand from the box. Please follow all instructions carefully. 2 Note that the computer treats the two parts of Cintiq (the LCD display and the Wacom tablet) as separate pieces of hardware. Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages: s s First, you will install the LCD display portion of Cintiq. In the second stage you will install Cintiq's tablet functionality. Please follow all instructions Both stages require hardware and software installations. carefully. You can find information on using the Wacom Tablet Control Panel for customizing your tablet and pen settings in the online Help, located under the Help menu in the Wacom Tablet Control Panel. See Learning More About Cintiq on page 37. The following are not included with this product: s s s Information about your specific computer hardware Information about your operating system Information about application software. Please refer also to your computer hardware, operating system, or software application manuals. To use the pressure-sensitivity of the Grip Pen with your favorite drawing application, refer to instructions in that application's manuals. 3 Precautions on Use and Handling Be sure to follow all instructions, cautions, and warnings found within this manual. Failure to do so could void your warranty, in which case Wacom shall have no responsibility to repair or replace the product. PHYSICAL LOCATION WARNING s Do not use the Cintiq Interactive Pen Display in a facility control system that requires extremely high reliability; it may cause other electronic devices to malfunction, or other devices may cause the Interactive Pen Display to malfunction. Where use is prohibited, power off Cintiq to prevent the possibility of it causing other electronic devices to malfunction. Wacom does not accept any liability for direct or consequential damages. For details, please refer to your Warranty, located at the end of this manual. Temperature and Humidity ­ Operating temperature and humidity ­ Storage temperature and humidity 5° to 35°C, 20 to 80% RH -10° to 60°C, 20 to 90% RH ENVIRONMENT s CAUTION s Do not use or store Cintiq where temperature changes are severe or exceed specifications (e.g., outdoors or inside a vehicle). Do not use or store Cintiq where the Interactive Pen Display, the Grip Pen, and the Cintiq stand are exposed to direct sunlight or heat from an appliance, or are exposed to water or any other kind of liquid. Do not use Cintiq in a dusty environment; this may damage the unit. CAUTION USAGE s WARNING s Only use the power supply that came with Cintiq. If a different type of power supply is used, Cintiq will not work properly or may be damaged. Using a different type of power supply also has the potential to result in fire. Use of a different power supply will void your warranty. Be sure to use a grounded power source when applying power to Cintiq. Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cables while Cintiq or your computer are turned on; this may damage the LCD display or computer video card. In this case, Wacom shall have no responsibility to repair or replace the product. This product is for use with a DVI or VGA video card; using an inappropriate video card may damage Cintiq. Do not block the rear panel ventilation holes; this may overheat and damage the unit. When not using Cintiq for long periods of time, unplug the power supply cable from the AC outlet. CAUTION CAUTION s s CAUTION CAUTION s s s 4 HANDLING WARNING s High Voltage. Do not open or disassemble the Cintiq Interactive Pen Display. There is a risk of electrical shock when the casing is open. This will also void your warranty and Wacom shall have no responsibility to repair or replace the product. Do not operate the display stand incline adjustment levers when Cintiq is not mounted on the stand, and do not lift the stand by the adjustment levers; the stand is spring-loaded and may cause injury or damage if released without the weight of Cintiq on the stand. Improper operation may lead to physical injury or damage to the stand. When moving Cintiq to a different location, either remove the display unit from the stand and then move both items separately, use the lock brackets to fix Cintiq to the stand (see page 53 for details), or otherwise make sure that the stand does not separate from the display unit when moving them both together. If the display unit is in landscape orientation, use one hand to grasp the bottom of the display stand. With your other hand grasp the top of the display unit. Be sure you are holding onto both the stand and display unit with your bottom hand before moving Cintiq. If Cintiq is in a portrait orientation or has been locked to the stand, the stand will not separate from the display unit and Cintiq can be safely lifted by grasping the display unit with both hands. Always follow the instructions on page 29 to remove the display unit from the stand. WARNING s WARNING s WARNING s If the LCD screen has been damaged, DO NOT touch any liquid that may be leaking from it; this liquid is an irritant. In case of contact with skin, eyes, or mouth, rinse immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes or more. If contact is made with the eyes or mouth, also consult a physician. Do not disassemble the Cintiq stand. Improper disassembly could result in physical injury or damage to the stand. In this case, Wacom shall have no responsibility to repair or replace the product.
