Only use a power adapter specified for use with your Cintiq. If a different type of power
adapter is used, Cintiq will not work properly or may be damaged. Using a different type of
power adapter also has the potential to result in fire. Use of a different power adapter will
void your warranty.
Warning
Be sure to use a grounded power source when applying power to Cintiq.
Caution
Caution
Do not connect or disconnect the video or power cables while Cintiq or your computer are
turned on; this may damage the 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.
Caution
Caution

Improper operation may lead to physical injury or damage to the stand.
Warning
Warning
When moving Cintiq to a different location, either:
•
remove the display unit from the stand and then move both items separately (see
“Removing Cintiq from the display stand” on page 13),
•
or use the lock screws to fix Cintiq to the stand (see “Optional display configurations” on
page 61).
Before moving Cintiq, first adjust the stand to its full upright position; this will reduce the
spring tension so that the stand will not accidentally release and snap shut. If the display unit
is in landscape orientation, use one hand to grasp the bottom of the display and with your
other hand grasp the back of the stand. Be sure to lift on both the display and the stand so
that the stand will not separate from the display when moving Cintiq.
If Cintiq is in portrait orientation or has been locked to the stand with the rotation lock
screws, 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 in “Removing Cintiq from the display stand” on page 13 to
remove the display unit from the stand.

UNPACKING AND MOUNTING THE CINTIQ PEN DISPLAY
Remove any packing materials from the back of the display unit and cabling.
Mount Cintiq on the stand:
•

•
Make sure the stand is placed in a stable position on your desktop or other work surface so that it
will not tip or fall when Cintiq is mounted on it. Securely grasp Cintiq with both hands; the display
should face toward you, with the power switch and LEDs located at the top.
Align Cintiq parallel to the front of the stand so the bearing hub is located between the V-shaped
upper edges of the stand’s bearing recess. The V-shaped edges will serve as a guide for
positioning the bearing hub. See – A – below.
With the back of Cintiq resting against the stand, lower Cintiq until the bearing hub rests securely
in the bearing recess. See – B – on the following page. The display unit will be held in place by
gravity; there will be no audible ‘snap’ to indicate a mechanical lock.

The stand is spring-loaded and can snap back
quickly, causing injury or damage if not
operated properly.
Warning
– B –
After the display unit has been mounted on
the stand, remove the foam blocks that lock
the adjustment levers in place. Save these
blocks with the other packaging materials;
you will need them if in the future you want
to ship Cintiq.
ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY INCLINE
To adjust the display incline, face the front of the Cintiq pen display and grasp it on the left and right
side at approximately the same height as the Cintiq stand adjustment levers. Use your fingertips to
gently pull the incline adjustment levers toward the display unit; this will release the stand’s clutch
mechanism. Tilt the display to adjust the incline setting.
•
To lower Cintiq, pull the left incline adjustment lever toward Cintiq and gently lower Cintiq to the
desired incline angle. Release the lever to lock the stand in place.

INSTALLATION
The computer treats the interactive pen display as two separate devices (the display and the pen
tablet). Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages:
•
•
First install as a display.
Then install as a pen tablet.
Both stages require hardware and software installations and adjustments. Carefully follow ALL
instructions.
Important: You MUST install the Wacom driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Make sure your computer meets the following minimum system requirements:
•
PC. Windows 7, Vista™, XP (32 and 64 bit). DVI or VGA connector, available USB port, and
CD-ROM drive.
•
Macintosh. OS X, v10.4 or greater. DVI or VGA connector, available USB port, and CD-ROM
drive.
Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. If updating your video card, first
complete the video card installation before connecting Cintiq. If you have another display that is
compatible with your video card, you can use that display to verify the video card is operating
correctly.
Although you can connect Cintiq to either a DVI or VGA video card, connecting to a DVI video card
generally results in optimum performance.
Notes:
Cintiq can be used alone or with another display, such as a CRT monitor or LCD projector.
To use Cintiq with another display, you will need two video cards or a video card with dual
output.
You may be able to set up Cintiq as a mirrored, extended, or independent display.
When working with more than one monitor, Cintiq will map to the monitors based upon how
your system is configured. By default, if you are in mirror mode, the pen display will map to the
entire space on each monitor. See your hardware and operating system documentation for
details on configuring your system for use with multiple monitors.
A Display Toggle function is available for use with multiple display systems. This enables you to
toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your other displays.

The Touch Strip default setting states are as listed below. See the electronic Software User’s Manual
for details on other available settings. The defaults are the same for the left and right side Touch
Strips.
•
AUTO SCROLL/ZOOM. Sets the Touch Strip to zoom in most graphics applications and scroll in
most other applications. Page scrolling is not supported. Some applications may interpret zoom
events as scroll events, or may completely ignore zooming. Likewise, scroll events may be
interpreted as zoom events, or ignored completely.
•
KEYSTROKE... CYCLE LAYERS. Enables you to cycle up or down through a stack of layers when
working in Adobe Photoshop. Move your finger up along the Touch Strip to cycle up through
layers.
•
•
KEYSTROKE... BRUSH SIZE. Sets the Touch Strip to increase or decrease the brush size of your
drawing tool when working in Adobe Photoshop.
KEYSTROKE... CANVAS ROTATION. Enables you to rotate or flip an entire image when working in
Adobe Photoshop CS4 or later.
Important: Some applications can override and control the Touch Strip functions. For details, see the
section on using applications integrated for tablet control in the Software User’s Manual.
Tip: Photoshop users who frequently change brush sizes may want to assign the [ and ] keys to a
Touch Strip. Sliding your finger up or down the Touch Strip will then change the brush size
without the need to reach for the keyboard or access the Photoshop Brushes palette.
See the electronic Software User’s Manual for detailed information on customizing the way your pen

APPENDIX
This section contains tips on caring for your Cintiq, instructions on how to uninstall the software, your
license and warranty, and more.
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 stand, and the Grip Pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in
temperature. Room temperature is best. Cintiq, the Cintiq 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 Strips, or pen buttons and tip wet as they contain sensitive
electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.
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 unit 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 TIP
The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause it to wear sooner. If your
interactive pen display has a coated surface a worn nib may cause damage. To avoid this, periodic tip
replacement is recommended.
1. Unscrew the pen stand base to access the nib extraction tool and replacement nibs.
Nib extractor
Replacement nibs
•
•
•
6 standard nibs, black
1 stroke nib, white
3 hard felt nibs, gray
2. Clasp the old nib with the nib extraction tool, pair of tweezers, needle-nosed pliers, or similar
instrument and pull it straight out of the pen.
3. Slide the end of the new nib straight into the barrel of the pen. Firmly push the nib until it stops.
Pen nib
1 mm (0.04 inch) or less
Note: Stroke nibs are spring-loaded, providing additional tactile feedback when you are working with
the pen or optional airbrush. They are installed in the same manner as a standard pen nib.
Choking hazard. Prevent children from swallowing the pen nip or side switch. The pen nib or
side switch may accidentally be pulled out if children are biting on them.
Warning
To order replacement parts, see “Available parts and accessories” on page 72.
Important: When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen stand, the pen holder, 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.

OPTIONAL DISPLAY CONFIGURATIONS
After mounting the pen display unit on the Cintiq stand, you can rotate the pen display to a variety of
positions. If you do not plan to rotate the Cintiq and want to fasten it more securely to the stand,
install the rotation lock screws as shown below.
To lock Cintiq to the display stand:
•
Rotate the pen display to the standard landscape position (with power switch located at top of
unit).
•
•
Two holes in the stand will line up with two screw holes on the Cintiq unit.
Use a Phillips-head screw driver to insert the lock screws and hand-tighten them.
Avoid placing excess physical pressure on the Cintiq stand;
Caution
doing so can damage the stand.

USING AN ALTERNATE MOUNT OR STAND
Cintiq can be attached to any mount arm or stand
conforming to the VESA 100 standard.
Mounting screws that are 4 mm wide with a 0.7 mm pitch
(M4 Regular), with a screw clearance depth from 13 – 18 mm
are required.
To attach Cintiq to a VESA 100 mounting platform:
1. Turn off your computer and power off Cintiq.
Then disconnect all cables from between the unit and
your computer.
2. Remove Cintiq from its stand and place it face down on
a flat, soft surface (such as a cloth spread across a
desktop).
3. Remove the bearing hub by unscrewing the four bearing
hub attachment screws. Then carefully separate the
bearing halves and remove the bearing stopper to free
up the cabling. Take care not to lose the small bearing
stopper found within the inner groove of one of the hub
sections.

4. Next remove the four attachment screws from the cable cover plate and lift the plate away from
the pen display unit.
5. Place the cable into the cable exit channel. Then reattach the cable cover plate making sure to
use the correct screws for reattachment. (The cable cover plate screws are shorter than the
bearing hub attachment screws.)
7. Now, using the appropriate VESA mounting screws, firmly attach Cintiq to the alternate mounting
platform.
When attaching Cintiq onto an alternate mounting platform, be sure to follow all instructions
Caution
in the documentation supplied by the platform manufacturer. If improperly installed, the unit
could fall, resulting in damage to the unit or physical injury.
8. Reattach the cabling to your computer. As necessary, refer to “Step 1: display installation” on
page 18.
To remove Cintiq from an alternate mounting platform:
1. Turn off your computer and power off Cintiq. Then disconnect all cables from between the unit
and your computer.
2. Remove Cintiq from the alternate mounting platform.
3. Place the pen display unit face down on a flat, soft surface (such as a cloth spread across a
desktop). Remove the bearing cover plate.
4. Remove the cable cover plate and lift the cable out of the cable channel. After freeing up the
cable, replace the cable cover plate.
5. Lay out and study the bearing hub components – you should have two bearing hub sections, a
bearing stopper, and four screws. Locate the bearing stopper within one of the bearing hub
sections. (Either hub section can be used, as they are identical parts.) When correctly placed, the
bearing stopper will shift smoothly from side to side within the stopper groove. The stopper will
also sit flush with the rear hub surface.
Illustrates correct location of bearing
stopper within bearing hub section.

6. Taking care not to dislodge the bearing stopper from the hub section, position the two halves of
the bearing hub together around the pen display cable and over their attachment points.
Proper positioning shows the hub
sections aligned along the
horizontal axis of the pen display.
The section containing the bearing
stopper should be positioned
toward the top of the pen display.
7. Attach the bearing hub sections to the unit making sure to use the correct screws for
reattachment. (The bearing hub screws are longer than the cable cover plate screws.)

PEN AND DIGITAL INK CAPABILITIES IN WINDOWS
Microsoft Windows 7 and Vista provide extensive support for pen* input. When using the interactive
pen display with a computer running Windows 7 or Vista, your experience is enhanced by powerful
note taking, handwriting recognition, fast navigation, and other digital inking options designed to give
you quick, intuitive results with the Wacom pen.
•
Note taking. Use your Wacom pen to jot notes and capture quick sketches in Windows Journal.
Journal simulates a physical notebook, but with the advantages of digital note taking. You can
choose from a variety of pen, marker, and highlighter tools, plus an eraser that is easily activated
by the eraser of your Wacom pen. Journal also includes a powerful search engine that can even
locate your handwritten content.
•
Handwriting recognition. Because Windows 7 and Vista include powerful handwriting recognition
capabilities, you can use your Wacom pen to quickly enter handwritten information anywhere the
computer accepts typed input. You can convert your handwritten content to typed text at any
time.
•
•
Gestures. Use your Wacom pen to make simple gestural movements on the pen display to trigger
customizable actions for navigation, editing, and other functions. To customize your gestures,
select the FLICKS tab in the PEN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.
Digital Ink in Microsoft Office 2007. Use your Wacom pen to full advantage with the enhanced
digital mark-up and inking tools available in Microsoft Office 2007 or later applications running on
Windows 7 or Vista. Found on the REVIEW tab within applicable applications, these tools provide a
consistent set of inking options. For quick access, you can add specific inking tools to the Quick
Access Toolbar located at the top of each application.
To make the most of the pen in Microsoft Windows, be sure to study the documentation that came
with your system, including the Windows training tools and Tablet PC tutorial. You can access the
Tablet PC Pen Training from the START menu by choosing ALL PROGRAMS, TABLET PC, and TABLET PC
PEN TRAINING.
Note: The following workarounds in the software driver for the tablet portion of the pen display
improve performance in Windows 7 and Vista:
The Pen Flicks and ‘press-and-hold-to-right-click’ features are disabled in graphics
applications using the Wintab API.
There is no pressure sensitivity in Journal and other Ink features when both the FLICKS and
‘press-and-hold-to-right-click’ features are disabled in the PEN AND INPUT DEVICES control panel.
* Pen features supported in all versions of Windows 7 and Vista except Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic, and
Windows Vista Home Basic.

AVAILABLE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
DESCRIPTION
PART NUMBER
KP-501E-01
Grip Pen. Sensitive to pressure and tilt, the Grip Pen is an all-purpose tool for
drawing, erasing, and mouse operations. The easy-to-use DuoSwitch gives
you two programmable switch functions. The pressure-sensitive pen has an
ergonomically waisted grip area, optimum weight and balance, and superior
tip sensitivity, making it the most natural freehand tool. Includes the following
accessories: Pen stand, standard nib (qty 1), stroke nib (qty 1), hard felt nib
(qty 1), and flex nib (qty 1).
Airbrush. A true digital airbrush incorporating a pressure-sensitive tip and
eraser, tilt sensitivity, and a fingerwheel that provides an additional degree of
control over the application of digital paint. This tool also has a programmable
top button. Includes the following accessories: Pen stand, standard nib
(qty 1), stroke nib (qty 1), hard felt nib (qty 1), and flex nib (qty 1).
KP-400E-01
Art Pen. This specialty pen provides 360 degrees of barrel rotation and, like
the Grip Pen, is pressure and tilt sensitive. Combining these features with a
unique chisel-shaped nib makes the Art Pen the most realistic tool for
emulating brushes, markers, and calligraphic pens. Includes the following
accessories: Pen stand, chisel tipped nibs (qty 2), chisel tipped felt nibs (qty 2),
bullet tipped nibs (qty 3), and bullet tipped felt nibs (qty 3).
KP-701E-01
KP-300E-01
Classic Pen. This pen has the same feature set as the Grip Pen, but with a
slimmer profile that does not include a rubberized grip. Includes the following
accessories: Pen stand, standard nib (qty 1), stroke nib (qty 1), hard felt nib
(qty 1), and flex nib (qty 1).
Inking Pen. This pressure- and tilt-sensitive drawing pen was created to
provide immediate feedback at your pen tip on the drawing as well as on your
computer screen. The pressure-sensitive Inking Pen comes with inking
cartridges and two polyacetal tips for inkless drawing. It has a pressure-
sensitive tip, but no eraser and no side switches. Includes the following
accessories: Pen stand, standard nibs (qty 2), inking nibs (qty 3).
KP-130-01
Note: When you purchase an Inking Pen, it comes with a polyacetal nib in the
pen. Use the nib extractor (silver ring) to gently remove the polyacetal
nib from the pen. Then insert one of the silver-colored cartridges that
come with the Inking Pen. The cartridge tip has a waxy coating that
you will need to rub off before you can begin inking.

LICENCE WARRANTY CONDITIONS
(EUROPE, AFRICA AND MIDDLE EAST)
SOFTWARE LICENCE AGREEMENT
Important customer information
The scope of delivery of this product covers copyright-protected computer programs ("software"), which are
the inalienable intellectual property of WACOM Europe GmbH ("WACOM"). This software is an integral
component of the product and is also held on the associated data carrier. The software of WACOM and the
associated rights of use are not included with the purchase of this product from your retailer. WACOM grants
you-the user-the right to use the software exclusively in accordance with the conditions stipulated in this licence
agreement. By purchasing this product, you agree to the following licence conditions.
Conditions for using the software
WACOM issues the user with a personal, non-exclusive licence to use the software solely in connection with this
product and for the correct operation of the product. This licence may only be assigned to a third party in
connection with this product.
Use of this software includes the creation of permanent or temporary copies of the software by means of loading,
displaying, exporting, transferring or saving, for the purposes of exporting the commands and the data they
contain or for observing, researching or testing the software functions.
The customer may not license the software to a third party, lease, lend or in any other way provide access to the
software. The customer may not copy, change, transfer or edit the software without prior written agreement from
WACOM. The only exceptions to this are necessary procedures for creating a back-up copy and the scenarios
outlined in section 2.
The customer may not carry out any "reverse engineering", decompile or depacketise the software, or try by any
other means to discover the source code of the software. This restriction shall continue to apply after the
termination of this agreement. If the software contains interfaces to other programs that are not supported by
WACOM, WACOM shall provide the customer with the necessary information on request, as long as the customer
can prove his right to use the software and agrees to bear the copying and postage costs.
WACOM AND ITS SUPPLIERS CANNOT OFFER ANY GUARANTEE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE
SOFTWARE OR FOR THE RESULTS PRODUCED THERE FROM. WACOM AND ITS SUPPLIERS OFFER NO
GUARANTEES OR ASSURANCES (EITHER EXPRESSLY OR IMPLICITLY, INCLUDING THOSE THAT MAY BE
DERIVED FROM A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP OR FROM TRADE PRACTICE, OR FROM LEGAL PROVISIONS
OR CUSTOMARY LAW) WITH REGARD TO THE MARKETABILITY, FREEDOM FROM DEFECTS OF TITLE OR
USEFULNESS OF THE SOFTWARE.
WACOM AND ITS SUPPLIERS ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS OF ANY KIND, NOR
FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SECONDARY, ACCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PENAL DAMAGES,
PARTICULAR OR MISCELLANEOUS DAMAGES OR FOR DEMANDS OR INDEMNITY CLAIMS FOR REDUCED
PROFITS OR LOSSES. THIS SHALL ALSO APPLY IN THE CASE OF A REPRESENTATIVE OF WACOM BEING
PREVIOUSLY AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS, OR
DEMANDS FROM THIRD PARTIES.
Appendix

The existing limitations on liability shall not apply in the case of the assumption of explicit guarantees, or in case
of fraudulent behaviour on the part of WACOM, nor for damages arising from wilful or grossly negligent behaviour
on the part of WACOM, from damages leading to loss of life, personal injury or sickness or in the case of binding
legal provisions. For slight negligence, WACOM and its suppliers shall only be liable in the event of a breach of
essential contractual obligations. Liability when such an essential contractual obligation is breached is, however,
limited to damages typical to this type of contract, which WACOM must have determined at the conclusion of the
contract based on the known risks and circumstances at that time. Claims for reduced profits or expenses saved,
indemnity claims from third parties or claims for any other direct or consequential damages still cannot be
asserted in this case.
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to this agreement. However, the applicability of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is explicitly excluded. Krefeld is the
sole place of jurisdiction for all claims arising from this contractual relationship and all disputes between the
parties resulting from the formation, handling or termination of the contractual relationship, provided that the
customer is a trader, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
The jurisdiction agreement shall also apply for customers who do not have a general place of jurisdiction in
Germany. The jurisdiction agreement shall not apply if, due to legal provisions, a different sole place of jurisdiction
must be established for the case. Furthermore, WACOM is authorised to file a lawsuit against the headquarters of
the customer.
This licence constitutes the entire contractual agreement between the parties. It overrides all other verbal and
written contracts and agreements and may only be altered by means of a written and signed contract. Should one
of the provisions of these licence conditions be or become void, the validity of the other provisions shall not be
affected, in full or in part. Should a provision be invalid, the legally permissible regulation most closely resembling
the invalid regulation shall apply in its place.
LIMITED WARRANTY
WACOM guarantees to you, as the initial purchaser, that the product hardware, when used as intended, will
remain free from material defects and processing errors for a warranty period of TWO (2) YEARS and Cintiq
products shall be guaranteed for a warranty period of THREE (3) YEARS, commencing from the purchase date
and provided that the product was unused at the time of purchase. Defects in wear parts (e.g. pen tips) resulting
from normal wear and tear are exempt from the warranty. Furthermore, WACOM guarantees that the data carriers
delivered with the product are free from material defects and processing errors for a period of SIX (6) MONTHS
from the date of purchase.
If the product-excluding any software-is discovered to be faulty it must be returned immediately to the place of
purchase in its original packaging within the warranty period together with your name, address and telephone
number, a description of the problem and a copy of the original receipt. The customer shall be liable for any
possible damage or loss of the product during transit for this purpose. Under the provisions of this warranty,
WACOM only undertakes to repair or replace the faulty product or parts at its own discretion, in cases where
defects are proven and the product is sent within the warranty period.
WACOM is not obligated to repair or replace the product if: (a) the damage to the product results from any
accident, misuse, improper use, negligence or unauthorised alteration or repair; (b) the product was not handled
or stored according to the instructions provided by WACOM; (c) the damage resulted from normal wear and tear;
or d) the serial number affixed by WACOM has been removed or rendered unintelligible.
If, when a claim made under this warranty is checked, it emerges that it is outside the permitted time period or is
not covered by the warranty or that the product is not faulty, the costs of any checks or repairs must be borne by
the customer.

If this product is faulty, the purchaser shall be entitled to assert legal claims against the vendor for liability due to
defects. These legal rights against the vendor are not limited by the existing warranty. The warranty grants the
customer many additional rights under the conditions stipulated in this text.
This limited warranty shall apply if the registered office of the vendor is in the EU or in Iceland, Norway, Jersey,
Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine, Croatia, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, United Arab
Emirates, Iran or South Africa.
The granting of this limited warranty is subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. However, the

Germany. The jurisdiction agreement shall not apply if, due to legal provisions, a different sole place of jurisdiction
must be established for the case. Furthermore, WACOM is authorised to file a lawsuit against the headquarters of
