DTF521_Manual.fm Page 1 Tuesday, February 28, 2006 10:36 AM INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The DTF-521/PL-521 pen display combines the benefits of an LCD monitor with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom's cordless, battery-free pen technology. This gives you a direct pen-on-screen interface that can be used with a Personal Computer (PC) or Macintosh® computer. The basic components of the pen display include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a 15.0" diagonal TFT color LCD monitor, and a cordless, battery-free Wacom pen. The DTF-521/PL-521 also comes equipped with a VGA pass-thru (ANALOG RGB OUT) port, enabling you to simultaneously connect a VGA monitor or projector to the pen display. This guide describes how to install the DTF-521/PL-521 hardware and software. It also describes how to use your pen display and pen. The information is common to both Windows and Macintosh platforms, and Windows screen captures are shown unless otherwise noted. Please follow all instructions carefully. Note that the computer treats the pen display as two separate devices (the LCD monitor and the pen tablet). Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages: · First install the DTF-521/PL-521 as a display. · Then install the DTF-521/PL-521 as a pen tablet. Both stages require hardware and software installations and adjustments. Please follow all instructions carefully. The following kinds of information are not included with this product: information about your specific computer hardware or operating system, or information about your application software. Your best source for this information is the set of manuals and disks that came with your hardware, operating system, or application. Refer to Unpacking your pen display on page 6 when removing the DTF-521/PL-521 from the box. For information on using the Pen Tablet control panel to customize your pen display and pen settings, see Customizing on page 18. To use the pressure-sensitivity of the pen with your favorite drawing application, refer to instructions in that application's manuals.
