application software. This guide is organized in a “do as you read”

format. For best results, perform the tasks as they are presented.

This manual assumes that you have a basic understanding of the DOS

and Windows operating system. As a convention, this guide presents

all references to guide names or sections in

italics,

Tablet and Driver Installation

Installation

Installation of the tablet is comprised of few

steps and designed to be as easy as possible. The

following instructions walk you through connecting

the tablet to your computer and installing the

drivers.

Connecting the tablet

Before you connect the tablet, determine which

type of keyboard port you have. You need to choose

the correct keyboard connector to use with this

installation. Newer systems use the smaller, Mini-

DIN connector for the keyboards, while previous

systems use the larger connector.

Note: As a safety precaution, the power to the

computer should be off before attaching any new

device.

To connect the tablet:

1. Turn off the power to your computer.

2. Once you’ve determined which keyboard connector

to use, plug it into the small, round socket on

the serial connector.

3. Attach the serial connector to an available

serial port. Use the 25- to 9-pin adapter if

necessary.

4. Unplug your keyboard from the port on your

computer, and attach it to the female port on

the keyboard connector. Plug the male end of

2-2

the keyboard connector into the port on your

computer.
