VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Wacom^® presents the new DTU-1031 pen display, an ideal solution for businesses seeking a display with a small footprint that allows users to view and fill out documents as well as sign them electronically.

With its 10.1" LCD display, the DTU-1031 allows full letter-size documents to be viewed with minimal scrolling. Therefore, customers can clearly see the contents of a document and sign with confidence. State-of-the-art encryption is included to ensure transactions are performed safely and securely.

Offering a unique hardware design, the DTU-1031 combines a high-resolution color display with a small footprint, making it suitable for any counter or point of sale area. An integrated stand supports two convenient viewing angles and the device can also be positioned completely flat on a counter or desk should the need arise. For organizations looking to customize the DTU's orientation, VESA mounting holes allow the use of 3rd party arms and stands.  The unit features an integrated pen compartment to secure the pen when not in use and a pen tether is included to prevent loss. In addition, there is a security slot that can be used to prevent theft of the device in public situations.

The DTU-1031 operates as a regular LCD monitor with pen input and is easily integrated into standard IT infrastructures. When used with signature software such as Wacom  sign | pro, SOFTPRO^®'s SignDoc or xyzmo^®'s SIGNificant, it becomes the ideal electronic solution for viewing, filling out and signing documents. The DTU-1031 connects to PCs with a single USB cable, removing clutter and keeping business areas neat. Commonly used functions such as page-up or page-down can be easily programmed onto the four customizable ExpressKeys^™ to facilitate smooth customer interaction. The Wacom pen is pressure-sensitive, cordless and battery-free, enhancing the natural writing experience for the user and providing excellent reliability and durability. In addition to the natural writing feeling, Wacom´s pen technology delivers a pressure profile during the writing and signing process. This results in a unique biometric profile which can be used for forensic purposes.

In addition to its pen input capabilities, the DTU-1031 can be used as an external monitor to display slideshows and videos for advertising and other purposes. The DTU-1031's paperless workflow solution increases customer satisfaction by offering them a direct on-screen signing experience with comfortable ergonomics. The highly durable DTU-1031 offers low cost of ownership and integration is simplified with its single USB cable that provides video, pen data and power.
