Calibrating your pen display
You will need to calibrate the DTF-521/PL-521 pen display tablet in order to align the screen cursor
position with the position of the pen on the display screen. This is required to adjust for parallax caused
by the acrylic display screen cover and coating. Set the pen display in its working position, then follow
the procedure below.
Important:
Make sure the LCD monitor is
properly adjusted before calibrating the tablet.
