STEP 1: PEN DISPLAY INSTALLATION
In this step, the driver for the interactive pen display is installed as a monitor on your system. Another
application will also be installed to allow the pen display to work properly. The additional application is:
• For the DTU-1141: DisplayLink
• For the DTU-1031X: Magic Control Technology (MCT)
Important:
• You MUST install the Wacom driver and the DisplayLink (DTU-1141) or MCT (DTU-1031X) driver for
correct pen-on-screen functionality.
• You cannot use a DTU-1141 and DTU-1031X connected to the same computer at the same time.
DisplayLink and MCT cannot be installed on the same computer at the same time.
1. Save your work and close all open applications. Temporarily disable any virus protection programs.
2. Insert the Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the software installer menu does not
automatically display, double-click the INSTALL icon located on the CD. You can also download and
install the latest Wacom driver from the Wacom website for your region.
3. Click INSTALL TABLET and follow the prompts to install the drivers for the pen display.
• The DisplayLink driver will be installed automatically on Windows 8 and Windows 7. For Windows
XP and all Mac operating systems, it must be installed from the CD.
• The MCT driver must be installed from the CD for all operating systems.
• You can also download and install the DisplayLink driver at www.DisplayLink.com, and the MCT
driver at www.wacom.com.
• See Notes 3 and 4 below for information on re-installing and uninstalling drivers.
4. Reactivate your virus protection program.
5. If you have trouble installing the pen display, see troubleshooting.
Notes:
1. Driver installation automatically activates the new pen input functions available within Microsoft
Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, and XP (except for Windows Starter and Home Basic, and Windows
Vista Home Basic). User-specific preferences are supported. After logging in, each user can
customize their personal settings in the Wacom Control Panel. Switching to another user will
automatically load the settings for that user.
2. On the Mac, you must restart your computer after installing the Wacom driver.
3. If you installing the Wacom and MCT drivers for a DTU-1031X, you must first uninstall any Wacom
or DisplayLink drivers already on the system. To uninstall the driver for the tablet, DisplayLink or
MCT, see uninstalling the interactive pen display.
4. If you do not use the provided CD for Wacom tablet driver installation, for example if you download
the Wacom driver from the Wacom website, DisplayLink or MCT will not install. You will need to
download the DisplayLink driver, or the MCT driver, and install it separately. You can also reinstall
either driver by using the Wacom Installation CD. However, on the DTU-1031X, you will need to
uninstall any Wacom tablet or DisplayLink drivers before reinstalling.
5. DisplayLink does not support 64-bit Windows XP. MCT does not support Vista.
6. If the pen display does not respond properly or you lose cursor control, the pen display preferences
may be corrupted. You can delete the current preference settings and return the pen display to its

STEP 2: PEN TABLET INSTALLATION
In this step, the interactive pen display is installed as a pen tablet.
USB CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Place your pen display face-down near your computer, using a soft cloth underneath the pen display to
protect the surface.
2. Plug the square end of the USB cable into the USB port of the pen display.
3. Place the USB cable attachment on the USB cable as shown, to prevent it from becoming unplugged. If
you need to remove the attachment, press in on both sides of the attachment and lift up.
4. Turn the pen display face up.
5. Plug the two connectors at the other end of the USB cable into two available USB ports on your
computer.
Note: Wacom recommends that you use both of these USB connectors to ensure adequate power for
the pen display. However, your system may operate satisfactorily with just one USB connector
attached to your computer.
6. Turn on your computer.
7. Check the status light (LED) on your pen display. When there is a connection between the computer
and the pen display, the status light is dimly lit. When the computer and pen display are connected and
the pen is in proximity of the display surface, the status light changes to a steady blue.
8. After completing the software installation (Step 1), make sure you can use your pen on the interactive
pen display to move the screen cursor.
9. When you place the pen tip on the display screen, the screen cursor should immediately jump to a
corresponding position approximately beneath the pen tip. Lift the pen tip and place it on the display
screen surface in a different location. The screen cursor should again jump to the new position. This is
known as absolute positioning, and enables you to position the screen cursor without having to drag
your pen across the display screen surface.
10. See calibrating and adjusting the pen display to precisely align the screen cursor to the pen tip.
11. To change the brightness of the pen display, adjust the Brightness setting in the Wacom Control Panel
(see Customizing).
Note: Windows: If you are using the pen display as a secondary display, you may first need to enable the
pen display in your display properties Control Panel.

ADDING OTHER DISPLAY DEVICES
You can connect another display device to your computer’s VGA or DVI connector for use with the pen
display. When working with more than one monitor, the pen display will map to the monitors based on 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.
Note: Make sure you complete the pen display installation before connecting another device to the unit.
The Display Toggle function is available for use on systems with more than one monitor. This enables you to
toggle the screen cursor between the pen display and other monitors.
Refer to your hardware and operating system documentation for information on connecting other monitors
to your computer and configuring your system for use with multiple monitors. Be sure to use the correct
cable and connector when adding an additional device to your system.
For troubleshooting tips, see troubleshooting.
Notes for the pen display screen:
Each interactive pen display LCD panel is produced under very stringent quality standards.
Production techniques cannot guarantee an absolutely perfect display, and some panels may exhibit
a certain number of pixels that show an incorrect color.
If an image has fine striping (such as screen stripes), it may appear to flicker or display a moiré
pattern.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the display screen surface; it may cause the appearance of a
moiré or pooling pattern. If this occurs, use less pressure on the display screen when working with
the pen.
When a still image is displayed for a long period of time, an after-image may remain for a short time.
To prevent this, use a screen saver or other power management feature.
To extend the life of the pen display backlight, set your computer’s power management to turn off
the display when it is not in use for extended periods of time.

WORKING WITH THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY
As you work with the pen display you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a
sheet of paper.
Because the pen display 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.
Ergonomics

USING THE PEN SWITCH
The pen has a programmable switch that can be used whenever the pen tip is within proximity (5 mm (0.2
inch)) of the display screen surface. You do not need to touch the pen tip to the display surface in order to
use the switch. By default, the switch is set to RIGHT CLICK. The switch function can be modified or
disabled using the Wacom Control Panel. See customizing.
Note: The DTU-1141 pen has a side switch, and the DTU-1031X pen does not. The DTU-1141 pen can be used with
the DTU-1031X. To obtain a DTU-1141 pen, please contact your Wacom representative.
WORKING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-
looking pen strokes within applications that support this feature. To annotate and write with pressure,
select a pressure-sensitive tool from your application’s tool palette. As you work on the screen surface, use
various amounts of downward pressure on the tip of the pen.
WORKING WITH MULTIPLE MONITORS
When you are working with the pen display and additional monitors on the same system, the screen cursor
movement on the standard monitors will depend on your system configuration.
If a second monitor is connected in mirror mode, both the pen display and the other monitor will show
identical images and screen cursor movement.
If you are using the pen display with other monitors in extended monitor mode, you have the following
options for navigating on the other monitors:
• Set the pen switch to the DISPLAY TOGGLE function. You can then press the switch to toggle the screen
cursor between the pen display and your other displays. For example, your product can be used as a
pen display (the screen cursor is positioned at the pen tip location) or toggled for use as a standard
Wacom tablet (the screen cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or additional displays). See
Working with Display Toggle for more information.
• Set the pen switch to MODE TOGGLE. You can then quickly switch between pen mode for working on the
pen display and mouse mode for working on the other monitors.
• Set an ExpressKey to DISPLAY TOGGLE or MODE TOGGLE function.
