INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The DTF-521 interactive pen display combines the benets of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacoms cordless, battery-free pen technology. This gives you a direct pen-on-screen interface for your computer. The basic components of the DTF-521 include a Wacom pen tablet internally mounted behind a 15.0" diagonal TFT color display, and a Wacom pen. The DTF-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 manual describes how to install the DTF-521 hardware and software. It also describes how to use the DTF-521 and pen. Please follow all instructions carefully. The computer treats the DTF-521 as two separate devices (the display and the pen tablet). Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages: Wacom
First install the DTF-521 as a display. Then install the DTF-521 as a pen tablet.
Both stages require hardware and software installations and adjustments. Please follow all instructions carefully. IMPORTANT: You MUST install the Wacom pen tablet driver software for correct pen-on-screen functionality. To learn about using the Pen Tablet control panel to customize your pen display tablet and pen settings on Windows or Macintosh computers, see Customizing on page 19. The following kinds of information are not included with this product: information about your specic computer hardware or operating system, or information about your application software.

WORKING WITH YOUR DTF-521
As you work with the DTF-521 interactive pen display you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a drawing board or sheet of paper. Because the DTF-521 surface will be a little higher than your desk, consider adjusting the height of your desk or chair to assure comfortable use of the device.
SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position the DTF-521, the pen, and your keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. The pen display and any other displays should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of eyestrain. Here are some other points to keep in mind:
Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles. Use a gentle grip when working with the pen. Alternate tasks throughout the day. Maintain a good posture at all times. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that cause discomfort. Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position. Alternate between different modes of use.
Note: Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or prevent, in whole or in part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions. Individual results may vary. Always obtain competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specic situation. Tips: Be careful that you do not pull the cables out of their connections by accidentally moving the DTF-521 too far from the computer. The pen tether can be used to ensure your pen stays with your pen display. Simply loop one end of the tether through the tether hole located on the pen, and the other end of the tether through the tether connection ring. Then use the small thumb screw to attach the tether ring to one of the four attachment points located on the back of the unit. The DTF-521 can also be mounted to articulated arms or other third-party stands meeting the VESA 75 specication for display stands. For details, see Using an alternate mount or stand on page 45.

When you select PAN/SCROLL, you are prompted to set a scrolling speed that will be used in applications that do not support grabber hand (pixel-level) panning within a document or image. A slower setting reduces the scroll rate and is useful for close-up and detail work where you need precise control of the image.

DISPLAY TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter problems with the DTF-521 display, refer to the following tables; your problem may be described here and you can try the solution offered. For additional information about color issues, refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or applications.

GENERAL PROBLEMS

The computer does not have an available USB port. A USB device plugged into one of the pen displays integrated USB ports does not function. Check if there is an available USB port on a USB hub. If not available, you will need to add a USB hub or USB card. 1. Make sure the pen display itself is properly connected to a working USB port on your computer. 2. Then be sure the pen display is powered on and that the power LED lights blue. The DTF-521 contains a powered USB hub and the integrated USB ports will not work when the power is off. 3. If the USB device does not work, try plugging it into a USB port directly on your computer. 4. If your USB device is still not functioning properly, please contact the manufacturer for that particular device. Make sure the pen display power switch is turned on. Check that the AC power adapter is plugged into both the pen display and an active power outlet. Use only the power adapter that came with the pen display; other adapters may cause damage to your product. The tablet driver software was not installed or did not load properly. Make sure the tablet driver software is installed and functioning. Install the pen tablet driver software in accordance with the instructions found in the Installation section of this guide. Some applications require that you turn on the pressure capabilities within the application or selected tool before the pen will respond as a pressure-sensitive tool. Verify also that your application supports pressure sensitivity. Open the Pen Tablet control panel and go to the Pen tab. Try using a lighter TIP FEEL. Open the Pen Tablet control panel and go to the PEN tab. Move the TIP FEEL slider toward FIRM. If this does not help, see Testing the DTF-521 on page 32.
The pen display power LED is off.
The pen works only in mouse mode, and does not draw or write with pressure sensitivity. The pen does not draw or write with pressure sensitivity. Clicking is difcult. The pen selects everything or will not stop drawing.

Double-clicking is difcult.
You notice a delay at the beginning of pen strokes. You have to press hard with the pen when clicking, drawing, or writing. The pen tip does not function.
Be sure you are quickly tapping the display screen twice in the same place on the pen display tablets active area. Wacom recommends using the side switch to double-click. Open the Pen Tablet control panel and go to the PEN tab. Try increasing the DOUBLE CLICK DISTANCE or using a lighter TIP FEEL. Windows: Try setting your system to launch programs with a single click. See Pen operations on page 18. Open the Pen Tablet control panel and go to the PEN tab. Try decreasing the DOUBLE CLICK DISTANCE. Open the Pen Tablet control panel and go to the PEN tab. Move the TIP FEEL slider toward SOFT. Be sure you are using the pen that originally came with your pen display. Other pens may not function properly on the DTF-521 pen display. Make sure the status LED lights blue when the tip is pressed. If the LED does not light, verify that the USB cable is plugged into an active port on your computer or on a USB hub. If the LED still does not light, you may have defective hardware (see Troubleshooting on page 32). Be sure you are using the pen that originally came with your pen display. Other pens may not function properly on the DTF-521 pen display. Be sure you press the side switch when the pen tip is within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the pen displays active area do this without pressing down on the pen tip. From the Pen Tablet control panel, verify that the side switch is set to the proper function you are expecting to occur. Make sure the status LED lights blue when you press the side switch. If the LED does not light, verify that the USB cable is plugged into an active USB port on your computer or on a USB hub; the LED will not light if the USB cable is not plugged into an active port. If the LED does not light, you may have defective hardware (see Troubleshooting on page 32).

The side switch does not work.

CARING FOR THE DTF-521
Keep the pen and the DTF-521 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 the DTF-521 and pen in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best. The DTF-521 and 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, or pen buttons and tip wet they contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.

CLEANING

To clean the DTF-521 casing or the 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 coating on the screen. Please note that damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturers warranty.

REPLACING THE PEN TIP

The pen tip (nib) will wear with normal use. Excessive pressure will cause the nib to wear sooner. A worn nib may damage the coating on the DTF-521 display screen. To avoid this, periodic tip replacement is recommended. When the nib gets too short or develops a sharp edge, you can replace it with one of the extra nibs that came with the pen.
