USERS MANUAL

1Introduction and OverviewThe Wacom® DTF-720™ Interactive Pen Display combines an LCD monitor with a Wacom tablet. This gives you a direct point-and-draw-on-screen interface that can be used with a Personal Computer (PC) or Macintosh computer. DTF-720's basic components include a Wacom tablet internally mounted behind a 17.0" diagonal TFT color LCD monitor, and Wacom's pen. Your DTF-720 Interactive Pen Display offers a number of significant advantages over a standard monitor:■ Reduced power consumption■ Reduced heat generation■ Requires less work space■ Flicker free and easier on the eyes■ Integrated input and display■ Pressure-sensitive drawing directly on the display screen.This manual describes how to install DTF-720 hardware and software. It also describes how to use DTF-720 and the pen. Note that the computer treats the two parts of DTF-720 (the LCD monitor and the Wacom tablet) as separate pieces of hardware. Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages. First, you will install the LCD monitor portion of DTF-720. In the second stage you will install DTF-720's tablet functionality. You can find information on using the Wacom Tablet Control Panel for customizing your tablet and pen settings in the online Help, located under the Help menu in the Wacom Tablet Control Panel.The following are not included with this product:■ Information about your specific computer hardware■ Information about your operating system■ Information about application software.

19PenUsing the Pen Pen Tip When the pen tip is within proximity (5 mm or 0.2 in) of the active area, the tablet reports: - The x, y coordinates of the pen tip. - The pressure applied to the pen tip. - Whether a side switch is on or off. When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the tip switch is turned on and the pen simulates a mouse button click. Eraser To use the eraser, hold the pen upside down. When the eraser is within proximity of the active area, the tablet reports the x, y coordinates and the pressure applied to the eraser. The eraser can be used as an eraser or assigned to another function, depending on the application. The tablet distinguishes the tip switch from the eraser switch. Side Switch and Second Side Switch These switches are programmable, and can be used to perform the same click and double-click functions as the tip switch. The switches are turned on when pressed, and are otherwise turned off.
