USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, and Power Connector.
Because the Pen Display 24 is designed to radiate heat out the back, no fans or heat vents are needed making it very quiet.
The Pen Display’s video-data-power ports are located on the back of the display.
To easily view and access these ports, we suggest using the foam packing pad the display was shipped with as a cushioned mat. Place the foam pad on a flat surface such as a tabletop, then lay the display face down on the foam pad. As you plug in the cables, do not route them through the tight space between the top of the stand leg and tilting arm. This may damage the cables at low tilt angles.
For the pen display to work properly it needs to be connected to power, and it also needs both video and pen data to flow between it and your computer. The cable combination that works for you will depend upon the type of ports your computer has.
If your computer has a USB-C port, you should be able to use only the USB-C to USB-C cable. This is a special connection type that’s capable of passing both video and pen data at the same time.

If your computer does not have a USB-C port and instead has an HDMI port or DisplayPort, then you’ll want to use one of those cables in combination with the USB-A cable. The HDMI or DisplayPort cables pass video data and the USB-A cable passes pen data.
Please do not use an HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C cable together. This may cause a duplication of the video data to be sent to your computer, making your OS think you have multiple pen displays attached.
Your pen display is working properly when your cursor follows your pen movement.
Select your operating system and download your driver. After following the guided install, restart your system. Restarting is essential for the driver to function properly.

The Quick Keys connects wirelessly via the dongle included in the pen case. The dongle can be conveniently slotted in to one of the USB-A ports at the top of the display.
Alternatively, you can also connect the dongle to your computer. A USB-A to USB-C Adapter is also included in the pen case for this purpose.
If the Quick Keys screen does not light up when switched on, please follow the directions for Charging the Quick Keys below.
Use the USB-A Ports at the top of the Pen Display to charge the Quick Keys via the included short cable (0.6m USB-C to USB-A 3.0).
You can also charge the quick keys through your computer, using the USB-A to USB-C Adapter if necessary.
Three convenient device control buttons give you quick access to the Pen Display 24’s fully configurable options.
Launch Settings: Bring up your Settings Panel.
Adjust Pressure: Easily tweak your pen pressure.
Switch Display: Pop your pen cursor on to external displays using your Virtual Tablet.
The left device control button launches the Settings Panel. This is where you can access and customize the settings for all your devices and pens.
The middle device control button pulls up the pen pressure adjustment panel for your active pen.
By default, the pen tip pressure is set to the profile that works best for most users. In the Settings Panel you can individually adjust the pressure of each of your pens to match your drawing style. You can also customize more pen settings including pen tilt sensitivity.
Default Settings:
The Settings Panel comes programmed with default settings for the Pen Display, pens and Quick Keys. These will be used in applications for which you don’t have specific settings.
Individual Applications:
The Settings Panel also has application-specific presets for some popular programs such as Adobe Photoshop, CorelPainter, or ZBrush to name a few. If you have these applications installed, they will be auto-added to the application bar along with their presets which you can edit to your preferences.
Add Applications:
Add your other favorite applications to the application bar to create custom settings across all programs.
With the Virtual Tablet feature, you don’t need to move to your mouse to reach items on other displays. Now you can simply press the right device control button and bring up your Virtual Tablet. Within this area your pen tip acts as a cursor on your other screens. Press the right control button again to switch between your displays.
In the All Displays mode you can even drag items from one display on to another, including on to your pen display.
The Virtual Tablet feature enables powerful new ways to manage your workflow. For example, you can leverage this feature with the eyedropper tool to color pick from photos or palettes on your other displays.
Pro tip: work even faster by assigning 'Switch Displays' or 'Virtual Tablet On/Off' to a button on your pen or Quick Keys.
In the Settings Panel you can choose the size and placement of your Virtual Tablet, and which displays to include in your Display Switch Cycle. This makes it easy to only toggle between the displays you want to control with your pen.
The Pen Display 24 offers seven different color settings options. These include five standard color spaces, a Pantone® mode that provides Pantone Validated™ and Pantone SkinTone™ Validated color, and a fully customizable user mode setting.

User Mode
Your pen ships already factory calibrated. However, if you feel the need to adjust how your cursor sits under your pen tip, you can do so using the Pen Calibration tool in the Settings Panel.
Should you find your hand in the way of system windows or want to purposefully offset your cursor for any other reason, you can do so using our tool in the Settings Panel. You can toggle this feature on and off.
The Quick Keys dial can be customized to perform four dual actions, such as zoom in/zoom out. The dial will glow the color of your choice to identify the current mode.
The eight buttons on the Quick Keys can also be customized in the Settings Panel. You can create and save up to five sets of actions for each application.
Because the Quick Keys can be used in any orientation, and attached to all edges of the Pen Display, you can also adjust its orientation within the Settings Panel. This feature can be found under the customize dropdown.
