Working with Cintiq

The Cintiq 18SX Interactive Pen Display and stand were designed to provide you with the widest
possible range of flexibility and ergonomic work approach.  The design allows for fast, easy
transitions between three basic modes of use, enabling you to quickly adjust Cintiq to a different
position whenever the need arises.  You may want to evaluate each mode to determine which best
fits your particular working style and tasks.

As you work with Cintiq, you can rest your hand lightly on the display screen, just as if it were a
drawing board or sheet of paper.

This is a common position when using Cintiq
as a primary display, and when your work
requires a large amount of keyboard input.
Display mode is also useful when presenting
your work to co-workers or clients.

At inclines of less than 32 degrees, the dis-
play unit can be freely rotated on the display
stand without touching the desktop.  In this
position, Cintiq emulates a traditional
animator’s table and gives you the freedom
to rotate the display unit to any angle for the
greatest comfort and accuracy of stroke while
drawing or editing images.

■

If the rotation lock brackets are attached to the back of Cintiq, they must be removed before
Cintiq can be rotated.

■

Before rotating the display unit, be sure the cable has been untucked from the cable guide and
is freely rotating behind the unit.

■

Because the Cintiq drawing 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.
