The maximum resolution of Cintiq is 1024 x 768, True Color (24 bit). As necessary, configure the
display control panel settings for the proper size and color resolution. The number of colors is
constrained by the capabilities of your video card. Refer to the video card manufacturer’s docu-
mentation for details.
For Windows, if you are using Cintiq as a secondary display, you may first need to enable Cintiq
in your Display Properties control panel.
■
After the display portion of Cintiq is working to your satisfaction, move on to the next section (Step
2: Tablet Installation) to install the Wacom tablet portion of Cintiq.
Note: For troubleshooting tips, please refer to page 34.

After you have completed the LCD display installation and configured the display settings, you will
need to connect the Cintiq tablet cabling and install the Wacom tablet driver software.
When installing the tablet portion of Cintiq, refer to the Tablet Cabling Diagram on the following page.
■
First, shut down and power off your computer and Cintiq. If a USB port is available, Wacom
recommends installing Cintiq as a USB device.
■
For USB installation: Choose the Cintiq USB cable
Plug the round end into the Cintiq port labeled USB. Plug the other end into an available USB port
on your computer. See E in the connection diagram on page 17.
Important: Make sure you select the correct cable and that you plug it into the correct port.
■
For Serial installation: Choose the Cintiq serial cable
Plug the round end into the Cintiq port labeled . Plug the other end into an available serial
port on your computer. See F in the connection diagram on page 17. For UNIX workstations,
you may need to use an appropriate adaptor from the Wacom UNIX kit to connect the serial cable.
Important: Make sure you select the correct cable and that you plug it into the correct port. If the
connection is difficult to make, do not force the plug into the connector. Instead, verify that there
are no bent pins and that you have the correct cable and location. Do not plug in or unplug the
serial connector when your computer is running—this may damage your serial card.
■
At the back of Cintiq, insert all three cables between the cable guides and then slide the connector
panel cover into place over the cable connectors. Do not skip this step, as the panel cover will
reduce the possibility of accidentally disconnecting the cables.

Next, depending on your operating system and the tablet interface that you will be using (USB or
serial), refer to the appropriate section for software installation instructions:
