INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Wacom® DTF-720 interactive 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 DTF-720 include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a 17.0" diagonal TFT color LCD monitor, and a cordless, battery-free Wacom pen. The DTF-720 also comes equipped with a VGA pass-thru (RGB-OUT) port, enabling you to simultaneously connect a VGA monitor or projector to the pen display. This manual describes how to install the DTF-720 hardware and software. It also describes how to use the DTF-720 and pen. The information is common to both platforms, and Windows screen captures are shown unless otherwise noted. Please follow all instructions carefully. Note that the computer treats the DTF-720 as two separate devices (the LCD monitor and the pen tablet). Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages: · First install the DTF-720 as a display. · Then install the DTF-720 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 DTF-720 on page 6 when removing the DTF-720 from the box. For information on using the Tablet control panel for customizing your pen display tablet 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.
