PenCentra 130 and 200

These instructions provide details on using the
PenCentra D ocking Station with your pen tablet.

The PenCentra Docking Station is best suited for
desktop computing tasks when a quick and temporary
connection to peripheral computer equipment is needed
and the pen tablet alone does not provide the necessary
connectivity. The docking station provides the following
interfaces for connection to peripheral computer
equipment (see Figure 1 for locations):

• Serial port
This port allows you to connect an external device with a
serial interface.

Note: • The docking station serial port does not

support the ring indicate feature

• Pin 9 on the docking station serial port does

not supply 5 volts (as the pen tablet does).

• PS/2-style port
This port allows you to attach a PS/2-style mouse or
keyboard.

• USB port
This port allows you to attach a Universal Serial Bus
(USB) connector.

be damaged if procedures given in these
instructions are not followed when connecting
devices.
