9. Hardware Installation
Note: This Pen Monitor does not function properly in a Windows multi-monitor
configuration. For proper operation in Windows, it must be the only monitor connected
to the system.
After you have installed the software driver and utility to your system and after you have
powered it off, perform the following steps to connect the monitor to your system.
1. Ensure that your computer is powered OFF.
2. Unplug all other monitor connections from your PC.
3. Position the monitor so that you can easily access the connections on the rear.
4. Plug one end of the included VGA cable into the VGA input port on the monitor
and plug the other end into the VGA output port on your computer. Tighten the
thumbscrews on each connector to ensure that they do not come loose.
Note: Alternatively, you can use a DVI cable (not included). Your video card
should be capable of producing DVI-A or Single Link DVI-D signals.
5. Plug the DC barrel connector on the AC adapter into the DC IN port on the back
of the monitor.
6. Plug the C13 connector on the AC power cord into the AC adapter. Plug the other
end into an AC power outlet.
7. Press the Power button on the monitor, then power on your computer.
Important: Do not plug in the USB cable yet. This will be done after the PC has been
restarted.

installation of the monitor and its driver.

charging source using the included proprietary USB charging cable. The pen will take
about 1 hour to fully charge.

11. Usage Tips
The following guidelines will help obtain the best results in using this Graphic Tablet:
Double Tapping: A quick double tap of the pen tip is the equivalent of a double-
click on a mouse.
Scrolling: The pen can be used to perform the same scrolling function available
with an ordinary wheel mouse.
Using With a Mouse: In addition to the tablet and pen, you can also have a mouse
connected and installed. However, only one device will function at a time. Do not
connect more than two input devices at the same time as it could cause the cursor to
jitter or freeze.
Storing:Do not store the pen in such a way that pressure could be applied to the
tip. When not in use, store the pen in a pen holder or place it horizontally on a flat
surface. When storing for a long period of time, remove the pen tip using the
instructions found in in this manual.

II. Configuration
The configuration utility allows you to modify pressure sensitivity, monitor selection,
customize the buttons, etc.
Locate the tablet icon in the system tray and click it to open the Pen Tablet Settings
application. Alternatively, you can run the application directly from the installation
directory. Assuming you installed to the default directory, the utility is located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Monoprice 10707\PLaunch.exe
1. The Info Tab
The Info tab displays the driver version number. Additionally it has two options, which
are selected by default:
Show Icon in System Tray:This option determines whether the tablet icon will be
displayed in the system tray. It is recommended to leave this enabled to allow easy
access to the tablet and pen settings dialog.
Support Tablet PC Feature: When selected the pen's pressure sensitivity feature
will function properly in Microsoft Journal, OneNote (2003-2007), etc. This does not
affect the pressure sensitivity function of common art software packages, such as
Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Painter, etc.

4. The Pressure Tab
This dialog allows you to test the pressure sensitivity of the pen and to adjust the
sensitivity of the pen's "click" function.
Pressure Test: Use your pen within this area to test the pressure sensitivity.
Pushing hard will draw a thick, bold line, while light pressure will result in a thin, light
line. The vertical bar to the right of the test area will increase in amplitude to indicate
the amount of pressure being applied.
Black, Red, Green, Blue: Use these radio buttons to select the pen color to use
during the test. This allows you to see the effects with the four primary colors.
Clear: Click this button to clear everything from the Pressure Test area.
Click Sensitivity: Use this slider to set the sensitivity at which a "click" is detected
with the tip. If you have a heavy drawing hand or are drawing thicker, heavier lines,
you will want to use a heavier click sensitivity.

5. The Calibration Tab
This dialog allows you to calibrate the pen and monitor, to ensure that it points
accurately to the various locations on the screen.
Calibration Check Box: To enable calibration, first click here to put a check mark
in the box, then click one of the three calibration buttons:
4-Point Calibration: Calibrates using a single point in each of the four corners of
the screen. This minimal calibration is usually good enough for good pen accuracy.
9-Point Calibration: Calibrates using three points across the top of the monitor,
three across the middle, and three across the bottom. This will give a better level of
calibration for improved accuracy.
25-Point Calibration: Calibrates using 25 points on screen, arranged in a 5x5 grid.
This produces the highest level of pointing accuracy.
Rotation: This pull-down list box allows you to adjust the pen's response in relation
to the screen's orientation. The screen and pen combination can be set to work
properly with the screen positioned upside down, right side up, or on either side.

III. Pen Storage and Maintenance
1. Storing the Digital Pen
The digital pen should be stored in such a way that nothing touches the tip. Prolonged
pressure on the tip, even a slight pressure, can damage the ability of the pen to use the
full range of pressure sensitivity.
If the pen will simply be unused overnight or for any other short period of time, placing it
in the included pen holder or horizontally on the desk is sufficient. For long-term storage
or shipping, the tip and battery should be removed.
2. Charging the Battery in the Digital Pen
Prior to using the pen stylus, ensure it is fully charged by plugging it into a USB
charging source using the included proprietary USB charging cable. The pen will take
about 1 hour to fully charge.
LED Indicator
The LED on the pen indicates the charge status with the following patterns:
LED glows red: Charging is in progress.
LED off: Charging is complete.
When the pen performance and response starts to deteriorate, it is time to recharge the
pen's internal battery.
Note: The pen's LED is located behind the buttons and can be seen through the
opening in the case.

3. Replacing the Pen Tip
If the pen tip needs replacing or removal due to long-term storage, perform the following
steps as applicable:
1. Open the pen holder and remove the metal Pen Clip.
2. Position the Pen Clip over the exposed portion of the pen tip. Squeeze the clip
with your fingers to provide a firm grip on the tip.
3. Pull gently until the tip is completely removed.
4. Take a replacement tip out of the pen holder and gently insert it into the pen until
it is fully seated into place.
5. Use the Pressure Test dialog in the driver utility to test the operation of the newly
replaced tip.
