Introduction and Overview
The Wacom® DTF-510U 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-510U basic components include a Wacom tablet internally mounted behind a 15.0"
diagonal TFT color LCD monitor, and Wacom’s pen.
Your DTF-510U Interactive Pen Display offers a number of signicant 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-510U hardware and software. It also describes how to use DTF-
510U and the pen. Note that the computer treats the two parts of DTF-510U (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-510U. In the second stage you will install DTF-510U’s tablet
functionality.
You can nd information on using the Wacom Tablet Control Panel for customizing your tablet and pen set-
tings 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 specic computer hardware
■ Information about your operating system
■ Information about application software.
Please refer also to your computer hardware, operating system, or software application manuals.
To use the pressure-sensitivity of the pen with your favorite drawing application, refer to instructions in that
application’s manuals.
