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.

Top View
- On a TFT liquid crystal display, a very small number of pixels may be permanently illuminated or not illuminated at all.
This does not mean that the display is defective.
- When exerting hard downward pressure on the display screen surface, you may notice the temporary appearance of a
moiré pattern. This is temporary and does not mean the display is defective.
- When a still image is displayed for a long period of time, an after-image may remain for a short period of time.

CAUTION
When attaching the DTF-510U onto
an alternate mounting platform,
be sure to follow all instructions
in the documentation supplied
by the platform manufacturer.
If improperly installed, the unit could
fall and be damaged.
Using an Alternate Mount or Stand
If you will be using the DTF-510U in an installation that requires the use of an alternate mounting platform, you
mount the DTF-510U onto a VESA conforming mount arm or stand.
A VESA mounting platform will require mount screws that are 4 mm wide with a 0.7 mm pitch (M4 Regular).
Exceeding the screw clearance depth of 15 mm will damage the DTF-510U internal components.
To remove the adjustable stand and attach the DTF-510U to a different mounting platform:
Turn off your computer and power off the DTF-510U. Then disconnect all cables from the unit.
Protect the display screen surface by spreading a soft cloth onto a at table and placing the DTF-510U face
down on the cloth.
Using the appropriate screws for your
mounting platform, rmly attach the DTF-510U
to the alternate mounting platform.
Rettach the cabling.

Pen
Hold the pen as you would a pencil.
Using the Pen
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.
When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the tip switch is turned on and the pen simulates a mouse button
click.
Using a Pen
Pointing and Selecting
Move the pen above the DTF-510U Interactive Pen Display screen to position the screen cursor.
The cursor instantly jumps to the new location (absolute positioning). Press the pen tip on the Interactive Pen
Display screen to make a selection.
NOTE: If the screen cursor is not aligned with the pen tip, you will need to calibrate the Interactive
Pen Display.
Clicking
Tap the Interactive Pen Display screen once with the pen tip, or touch the pen to the display screen with
enough pressure to generate a mouse click.

To insert a new nib:
To remove the old nib:
Prevent your children from swallowing the pen nib. The pen nib may accidentally be
pulled out if children are biting on them.
CAUTION
Slide it straight into the barrel of the pen.
Firmly push the nib until it stops. The new nib
will slide into the correct position.
Clasp it with the o-ring tool that came
with your pen and pull the old nib
straight out of the pen.
Caring for DTF-510U
Cleaning
To clean the DTF-510U casing, use a soft cloth with mild detergent (such as dish washing liquid) diluted
with water. Do not use paint thinner, benzine, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean DTF-510U casing or
pen.
To clean the display screen, use a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth with water and try
again. 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 manufacturer’s warranty.
Replacing the Pen Tip
The pen tip will wear with normal use. When the nib gets too short, you can replace it with one of the extra
nibs that came with your pen. If the pen tip wears and becomes angular, it may damage the coating on the
cover glass of DTF-510U Interactive Pen Display. To avoid this, periodic nib replacement is recommended.
