Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 - General installation (PC)
Let's open the Cintiq Pro master carton.
Use the cardboard handles to pull out the product box.
This is the Cintiq Pro 27 carton box.
Let's have a look at what's inside.
What you see here first is the Cintiq Pro 27 main display nicely packed in this black cloth.
Let's remove it here.
Put it aside for the moment.
Then you will see the main accessory box down here with a couple of QuickStart guide notes.
If you open that box here, you will see all the cables inside.
You will see the video cables, the USB-C cables, the USB cable, some power plugs
plus the pen tray.
Within the pen tray, you will find all the accessory nibs and accessories for the Pro Pen 3
which is packed in here.
You will also find your printed copy of the Cintiq Pro QuickStart guide.
But there's more.
Let's close this for a moment.
There's another box at the rear end, don't miss that one.
You can pull it out on the cutout.
If you look in this one,
you will find the power supply with some additional power plugs in here.
Now let's have a closer look what's inside the Cintiq Pro 27 box
First of all, the Cintiq Pro 27 main display.
Please note that you should not put the Cintiq Pro 27 flat on the table.
You can only use it either with the Cintiq Pro 27 stand
or the VESA 100 compatible mount or monitor arm.
Besides the Cintiq Pro 27 display, you will find the Cintiq Pro Quick Start guide in the box
and a couple of cables.
First of all for connectivity the USB-C cable which you can either use for data and video or both.
For PCs that don't have the USB-C port you can use USB-C to use USB-A for the data connectivity
and for video signal you will find a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.
Last but not least, an HDMI cable for the video signal.
Next you will find also the Cintiq Pro Pen tray in the box
plus the brand new Pro Pen 3.
Last but not least, you will also find the power supply
plus the appropriate power cable for your respective region.
Now let's connect the already mounted Cintiq Pro 27 to a PC
using the single USB-C cable connectivity.
Please make sure that your PC or Mac USB-C port does support the DisplayPort functionality
to carry over data and video signals.
To start this, I will open the flap on the left side, looking from the back, and lift it up.
Behind the flap you will see the USB-C connector on the left, a USB-A connector in the middle
and on the right, the power connector.
Let's start by attaching the power connector first.
Make sure that it goes firmly into the socket.
Then take the USB-C cable and do similar.
When properly attached, please put the back cover on and slide it down.
It snaps in successfully.
Now I plug the other end into the USB-C port on my PC.
Use the power button on the back of the Cintiq Pro 27 to switch it on.
Let's download the latest Wacom driver.
To do this just go on www.wacom.com.
In the upper menu bar, click on Support
and here there is a blue button called Drivers and Downloads.
Then just scroll down a little bit so you can see the driver section.
Click on the Windows driver.
Click on the blue download button again.
Then one final click on Confirm download and the driver will download in a couple of seconds.
After we have successfully downloaded the latest Wacom driver,
let's proceed with the installation.
Open the Windows File Explorer, click on Downloads and double click the Wacom tablet installer file.
I have admin rights.
Now after a couple of seconds, the driver will prompt with the license agreement
which we happily accept by clicking on the blue button.
Then the driver is installing in the background.
It might take a couple of seconds or even about a minute
depending on the required assets which are downloaded in the background.
After the driver installation was successful,
to finalize the driver install just click on the Restart now button.
Your PC will restart and then the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 is ready to work.
Now we have restarted our PC with the Cintiq Pro 27 connected.
The setup wizard will come up with this nice welcome screen here.
The setup wizard will guide us through a few steps showing the key new features
you will get on your Cintiq Pro 27.
At the end, it will guide us into the registration process.
Let's start by clicking on the Start button.
First of all it gives us an impression of the ExpressKeys, where the ExpressKeys are located,
how to use them in an efficient way and what you can do with those ExpressKeys.
Next, it shows how to enable or disable the Multi Touch feature with the small switch on the back.
Last but not least, it reminds us to get our device registered on the Wacom pages
and to get free access to the bundled software you get with the Cintiq Pro 27
and to get informed about future offers from Wacom.
Now we are going to the registration process.
The Wacom sign in page appears in the Wacom Center.
You can either sign up for a new account on the Wacom page
or in my case I will now log in with my existing one.
First, it automatically registers the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 with its serial number.
I can now either go to Device settings or I can go directly to the software settings.
