Connecting the Pen Display 16
Xencelabs Pen Display 16 Essentials
For easy portability and a slim profile the Pen Display 16 has just
one USB-C port. Connect it to your computer via the included
USB-C cable.
Video, Pen Data,
+Power.
USB C
(DisplayPort Alt Mode)
Requires 15W port
This extra thick cable is a special USB-C cable that passes video,
pen data, and power between your pen display and computer.
For proper functionality, use this cable ONLY. Your pen display is
working properly when your cursor follows your pen movement.
The included USB-C cable provides a standard level of screen
brightness (170 cd/m²). For maximum brightness (300 cd/m²) use
the display with the Xencelabs Hub (purchased separately), which
provides additional power. With the Hub, you can also connect the
Pen Display 16 to your computer via DisplayPort or HDMI.

A Note on Text Size
The Xencelabs Pen Display 16 is a 4K resolution
display while being a smaller physical size than
many 4K monitors. This can make text look smaller
than you may be used to. You can adjust how text
appears in your OS settings under display text/
scaling options. On Windows, we suggest a text
scaling of 200% for most users.

Understanding the App Navigation &
Creating Application-Specific Settings
Default Settings:
The Settings Panel comes programmed with
default settings for the pens. 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.

Control Your Other Displays Using the
Virtual Tablet
With the Virtual Tablet feature, you don’t need to move to
your mouse to reach items on other displays. Simply tap
your pen eraser to the surface of your Pen Display 16 to
bring up your Virtual Tablet. Within this area your pen tip
acts as a cursor on your other screens. Use the on-screen
controls to switch between your displays.
Virtual Tablet On/Off is mapped to the pen eraser button
for the
default settings. We recommend making this
an application-specific setting for any application in which
you want to use this feature regularly.
