Customizing
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 caused by the display
screen cover glass. Set the pen display in its working position, then follow the below procedure.
Important:
When using a VGA connection, be sure the display is properly adjusted before calibrating. See Adjusting
the display and adjusting pitch and phase (VGA only).
1. Open the Tablet control panel. If more than one
pen display is installed on your system, select the
unit you are working with from the tablet list.
2. Select Pen from the Tool list. Then select the
Calibrate tab.
3. If you are working with multiple monitors, select
the Monitor corresponding to the pen display.
(Only monitors that are set to one of the resolutions
supported by the unit will appear in the list.)
4. Click Calibrate... 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 lower-right corner.
7. Test the alignment by positioning the pen at a
few different points on the display. Click OK to
accept the calibration. Click Try Again to recalibrate.
Note:
Read the directions in the calibration screen for detailed instructions and additional options.
The calibration setting applies to all applications.
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 25 mm
(1/10th of an inch) above and to the left of the pen tip, calibrate by clicking on a spot 25 mm (1/10th
of an inch) below and to the right of the crosshairs.
