Working with your Cintiq
Page 24
SETTING UP YOUR WORK AREA
To minimize fatigue, organize your work area so you can work comfortably. Position Cintiq, the Grip
Pen, and your keyboard so they are easily accessible without unnecessary reaching. The pen display
and any other displays should be positioned so you can view them comfortably with a minimum of
eyestrain.
You may want to experiment with the rotation pivot and the different Cintiq stand height adjustments
to determine what best fits your particular working style and tasks.
Here are some other points to keep in mind:
• Take short breaks between tasks to stretch and relax your muscles.
• Use a gentle grip when working with the pen.
• Alternate tasks throughout the day.
• Maintain a good posture at all times. Minimize awkward postures and repetitive movements that
cause discomfort. Change your position if you feel any discomfort due to your work position.
• Alternate between different modes of use.

Individual results may vary. Always obtain competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate
treatment for your specific situation.
Fully open the stand when you
want to work with Cintiq at a
fixed incline. You may also find
this a comfortable setting for
working with Cintiq in a hand-
held or lap position. Adjust the stand to its middle
position for a more vertical
view of the display screen.
This position is common when
your work requires a large
amount of keyboard input and
when presenting your work to
co-workers or clients. When the stand is closed, the pen
display unit can be freely rotated
on the pivot, just like a sheet of
paper. This provides you with the
freedom to adjust the display unit
for the greatest comfort and
accuracy of stroke while drawing
or editing.
Tips:
Do not pull the cable out of its connection by accidentally moving the pen display too far from the
converter unit or computer.
Consider using an optional pen tether to ensure your pen stays with your pen display.
Cintiq can also be mounted to articulated arms or other third-party stands meeting the VESA 75
specification for display stands. For details, see “Using a mounting fixture” on page 55.
