General Information
Overview
Welcome to the world of pen-based computing! You will soon discover how easy it is to
control the computer using a pen instead of a mouse. You will also be able to draw,
sketch or paint on your computer as easily as you would on paper, using appropriate
software such as PhotoImpact, PhotoShop, and Painter. Since all Pen Device models
described in this manual are pressure-sensitive, you can choose to emulate a soft-tipped
pen.
This manual describes mainly how you install the Pen Device, configure it to best suit
your use, and use Pen Utilities that come with the hardware. Specifically, it describes
pen device functions, items in the package, system requirements, hardware installation
procedure, Driver and Pen Utilities installation procedure, verification of hardware
installation, verification of overall installation, usage tips, pen scrolling, configuring the
pen device,
PenSigner
This manual is applicable to Driver and Pen Utilities Version 4.0.
Note: For best results, please try to look at the screen while using the Pen, and avoid
looking at Tablet Plate. See the section

Parts of a Pen Device
The key parts of a Pen Device are Pen, Tablet Plate and an optional Cordless
Mouse. Tablet Plate may be stand-alone or be embedded in another device such as a
keyboard; and the Pen may be connected to Tablet Plate with a cord (corded), or be free
from it (cordless). The figure below uses a Pen Tablet with USB interface as an
example to show the key parts of a Pen Device.
Figure 1 Parts of a Pen Device
Note: The optional Cordless Mouse requires a Pen Tablet with USB Interface.
Installing Hardware
To install the Pen Device,
1. Attach the hardware to your computer according to its type (Pen Device with
USB Interface, Pen Tablet with RS232C Interface, or Tablet Keyboard with
RS232C Interface),
2. Verify that hardware is installed properly,
3. Install the Driver and Pen Utilities, and
4. Verify that the pen device as installed functions properly.
5. Install optional Application Software according to its own instructions (not
included in this manual). Most Application Software is installed by running
its Setup program.
Installing Pen Device with USB Interface
To attach the Pen Device with USB interface to your computer, first locate an available
USB Receptacle on the computer, usually on the back panel, on the monitor, or on the
keyboard. Then, plug the USB Connector into the Receptacle, in a way similar to the
figures shown below. On a computer system that fully supports USB interface, there is
no need to turn off the power, nor restart the operating system.
The Pen Device may be either a Pen Tablet or a Tablet Keyboard.
When the system detects the presence of a USB Pen Device, it will attempt to look for its
driver. Please select Cancel or press the escape key (marked Esc) to get out of it, and
start the Setup program on the Driver Disc to install the Driver and Pen Utilities.
If a USB Pen Device has been installed before, and the driver has not been uninstalled,
the operating system will automatically find the installed driver when you re-attach a Pen
Device, and you need not run the Setup program again unless you wish to upgrade Driver
Program.
After the Driver and Pen Utilities is installed, please verify that the Pen Device functions
properly.
The optional Cordless Mouse needs no special instllation, and will start to function
normally as soon as Pen does.
Figure 2 Attaching a USB Pen Device to PC
Installing Pen Tablet with RS232C Interface
Before attempting to install the Pen Tablet on your computer, please check that the
system requirements are all met, and that all items listed in Pen Tablet Packing List are
present. This section describes the installation procedure for Pen Tablet with RS232C
Interface. If you have a Pen Device with USB interface, please see Installing Pen
Device with USB Interface.
You attach the Pen Tablet to the computer by inserting the Pen Tablet’s Keyboard
Connectors between the keyboard and the computer, and by connecting the Pen Tablet’s
RS232C Connector to an available COM (serial) port. The procedure is described
below.
1. Shut down Windows and turn off the power of your PC.
2. Examine the connecting parts of the Pen Tablet.
Figure 3 Parts of the Pen Tablet for connecting to the PC
3. Locate where the Original Keyboard Connector attaches to the computer. In
the figure 4 below, we assume it is in the back of a desktop PC. Examine the
size of the keyboard connector (see figure 5 below).
Figure 4 Connection of the keyboard to a desktop PC before installing the Pen
Tablet
Detach the Original Keyboard Connector from the Keyboard
Socket, and remember the location of the Keyboard Socket so
you can find it later. Examine the connector and try to match
one of the pictures in the figure below. If it matches Small
Connector, go to the next step. Otherwise, you need to find
two Keyboard Acaptors (not included) so the connectors will
match.
Figure 5 Identifying the Keyboard Connector
4. If your keyboard has a small (PS/2) connector (see figure above), connect the
Original Keyboard Connector to the Female Keyboard Connector (the one
connected with a single data cable). Then, connect the Male Keyboard
Connector (the one with a split data cable) to the PC at the Keyboard Socket
to which the keyboard was originally attached. Go to Step 6.
Figure 6 How the Pen Tablet is attached to a desktop PC with a PS/2 keyboard
5. If you have a notebook PC, connect the Male Keyboard Connector (the one
with a split data cable) to the PS/2 Port. If there is an external keyboard
(assuming it uses a PS/2 connector), and you wish to keep it, you should then
attach the Original Keyboard Connector to the Female Keyboard Connector
(the one with a single data cable). See figure below. Go to Step 6.
Figure 7 How the Pen Tablet is attached to a notebook PC
6. Take the 9-pin RS-232C Connector running from Tablet Plate and insert it
into COM1 port of the computer. If COM1 is in use, for example, by a
mouse, you may plug into COM2 port instead. In this case, since many
COM2 ports require a 25-pin connector, you will need to find a
9-pin-to-25-pin adaptor (not included). Also, if your computer has a built-in
modem using one of COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4 ports, please seek
help from a professional to ensure that the Pen Tablet can indeed use an
apparently unused serial port. A built-in modem may use up a COM port
which is shared by an outside COM port socket. The Pen Tablet requires a
free COM port to operate, and it can co-exist with a mouse and/or a modem
connected to a different COM port not in conflict with the port used by the
Pen Tablet. If the mouse uses a PS/2 port, it will not conflict with any COM
port.
7. Turn power on and wait for Windows to start up.
8. Verify that the Pen Tablet hardware functions properly.
The hardware installation is now complete. Please proceed to install the Driver and Pen
Utilities that provides pointing device function and Pressure Sensitivity (through a
Wintab-compatible interface), plus additional pen functions with Pen Utilities such as
Annotate All, Annotate for Word, PenSigner, PenMail
, and
PenCommander.
