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
overall 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, Annotate All program, Annotate for Word program, PenMail
Program, and PenSigner Program.
This manual is applicable to Driver and Pen Utilities Version 3.5.

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, and PenMail.
Installing Tablet Keyboard with RS232C Interface
Before attempting to install the Tablet Keyboard on your computer, please check that
the System Requirements are all met, and that all items listed in Tablet Keyboard
Packing List are present.
You attach the Tablet Keyboard to the computer by connecting the RS-232C
Connector to an available COM (serial) port and connecting the Keyboard Connector
to the Keyboard Socket on your computer. The procedure is described below.
1. Shut down Windows and turn off the power of your PC.
2. Remove the original keyboard, if any, from your PC, and note where the
Keyboard Socket is.
3. Examine the parts of the Tablet Keyboard, as shown in Figure below.
Figure 8 Attaching the Tablet Keyboard to the PC
4. Connect the Keyboard Connector to the Keyboard Socket. You will need to
find an adaptor (not included) if the size of the Keyboard Connector does not
fit that of the Keyboard Socket, similar to what is shown in Figure 6.
5. 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 most 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 Tablet Keyboard 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 Tablet Keyboard 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 Tablet Keyboard. If the
mouse uses a PS/2 port, it will not conflict with any COM port.
6. Turn power on and wait for Windows to start up.
7. Verify that the Tablet Keyboard hardware functions properly.
The hardware installation is now complete. Please proceed to installing 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, and PenMail.
Installing Driver and Pen Utilities
To install Driver and Pen Utilities on Windows system other than Windows 3.1, we
recommend that you follow the procedure below, and do not rely on the Plug and Play
feature. For Windows 3.1 system, please refer to the section Installing Driver

Figure 9 Driver Setup dialog
Note: Annotate for Word will function only if Microsoft Word is properly
installed. If you do not have Word installed when you install the Driver and
Pen Utilities, you may install Pen Utilities later, selecting only Annotate for
Word, after you install Word.
6. The Setup Program will then install the Driver and Pen Utilities per your
instruction. Note: Certain Pen Utilities may not function properly in DOS
window.
7. When the installation is complete, you will see a dialog box indicating it is
about to restart the system. Choose "OK" to continue.
8. After the system is restarted, please check to ensure that both the hardware and
Tablet Driver are functioning properly by following the procedure described in
Verifying Overall Installation.
When both the hardware and software are installed properly, moving the Pen over
Tablet Plate will cause the cursor to move on the screen correspondingly. The
position of Pen Tip on Tablet Plate corresponds directly with the position of the
cursor on the screen. For example, if Pen Tip is at the center of Pen Area, the cursor
will also be at the center of the screen.
You may use the Pen Device as a pointing device, and, with application support, you
may also use it to draw pictures in a way similar to using a soft-tipped pen such as a
brush, or a hard-tipped pen such as a ballpoint pen.
Automatic Driver Installation on Windows
95/98/ME/2000
The Pen Device is a Plug & Play device. That is, after the Pen Device is attached to
the PC properly for the first time, it would be detected automatically as new hardware

by Windows 95/98/ME/2000 when Windows becomes active. Windows
95/98/ME/2000 will then seek the Tablet Driver, and, when found, will install the
Tablet Driver automatically upon your confirmation. However, due to the way Plug
& Play is implemented in Windows, many people find this process troublesome on
some versions of Windows and certain brands of PC. In addition, the Plug & Play
process will install only the Tablet Driver, and you still need to run the Setup program
if you want to install Pen Utilities.
Therefore, we recommend that you choose “Cancel” at the “New Hardware Found”
dialog, so as NOT to use this feature.
Installing Driver Program on Windows 3.1
To install the Driver Program on Windows 3.1, follow the procedure below. Note:
Only mouse functions are supported on Windows 3.1. Specifically, neither Pressure
Sensitivity nor any of the Pen Utilities are supported.
1. Attach the Pen Device to your computer as described before and turn on
power if necessary. Make sure that the Program Manager is displayed.
2. Insert the Driver Disc into the CD-ROM drive. Assume this drive to be “E”.
3. Go to the File menu in the Program Manager, choose the Run command, and
then press the Enter key.
4. Type in "E:\setup", and press Enter key to initiate the Setup Program.
5. You will be offered a chance to change the directory where the Driver
Program will be copied. Change it if you wish and select OK to continue. See
Figure 9.
6. The Setup Program will then install the Tablet Driver.
7. When the installation is complete, you will see a dialog box indicating it is
about to restart the system. Choose "OK" to continue.
8. After the system is restarted, please check to ensure that both the hardware and
Tablet Driver are functioning properly by following the procedure described in
Verifying Overall Installation.
9. The installation of Driver Program is now complete. Start your favorite
graphic or word-processing application and begin to enjoy your Pen Device.
When both the hardware and software are installed properly, moving the Pen over
Tablet Plate will cause the cursor to move on the screen correspondingly. The
position of Pen Tip on Tablet Plate corresponds directly with the position of the
cursor on the screen. For example, if Pen Tip is at the center of Pen Area, the cursor
will also be at the center of the screen.
You may use the Pen Device as a pointing device, and, with application support, you
may also use it to draw pictures in a way similar to using a hard-tipped pen such as a
ballpoint pen.
Installing Driver Program on DOS
Please copy the file UCTABLET.EXE found on the Driver Disc to your hard disk
drive, and run this program to start using the Pen Device on your system. You may

also add this command to AUTOEXEC.BAT so the Tablet Driver is automatically
started every time you start the system. Make sure the Pen Device hardware has been
attached to your computer properly by following the procedure described in the
section Verifying Hardware Installation.
Note: Only mouse functions are supported on DOS. Specifically, neither pressure
sensitivity nor any of the Pen Utilities are supported.
When both the hardware and software are installed properly, moving the Pen over
Tablet Plate will cause the cursor to move on the screen correspondingly. The
position of Pen Tip on Tablet Plate corresponds directly with the position of the
cursor on the screen. For example, if Pen Tip is at the center of Pen Area, the cursor
will also be at the center of the screen.
You may use the Pen Device as a pointing device, and, with application support, you
may also use it to draw pictures in a way similar to using a hard-tipped pen such as a
ballpoint pen.
Note:Do not run UCTABLET.EXE on Windows systems. Mouse functions are
supported in DOS mode running under Windows without running UCTABLET.EXE.
Verifying Hardware Installation
Verify that the Pen Device hardware functions properly by following the procedure
described in this section.
The green LED light is the key indicator for hardware verification. Watch it as you
go through the test procedure. If the light does not come on at all, see the following
table for suggested action to take.
If the LED light does not come on...
Possible Cause Suggested Corrective Action
Cable connections are loose or incorrect, so that the
Pen device does not get power. Go through the installation procedure again and correct the connections.
The Cordless Pen or Mouse has gone to "sleep" to
conserve its battery power. Tap the Pen on any surface or press the Left Button to "wake it up".
The battery in the Cordless Pen or Mouse is out. Change the battery.
The LED light or some other part of the Pen Device is
defective. Go to the place where you bought your Pen Device and seek help there.
Hardware Verification Procedure
1. The green LED light on Tablet Plate will come on briefly as soon as
Tablet Plate receives power, and will stay off as long as Pen Tip or

Mouse is not above Pen Area in Tablet Plate, or it is too high above the
Plate.
2. Tap the Cordless Pen on any surface or press the Left Button of the
Mouse to "wake it up". You need not do this for a Corded Pen.
3. The LED light will flash slowly when Pen Tip is directly above Pen
Area of Tablet Plate and is low enough to be detected by Tablet Plate,
or when the Cordless Mouse rests in the Pen Area.
4. For as long as you press a Barrel Button on the body of the Pen or any
of the Mouse Buttons, the LED light will be on.
5. When you press Pen Tip against Tablet Plate anywhere in Pen Area, or
press the Left Mouse Button while the Mouse is in Pen Area, the light
will also be on as long as the Tip or the Button remains pressed. Note
that the position and size of Pen Area may vary if you have modified it
on The Scope Configuration Page.
6. However, before Tablet Driver is properly installed, moving Pen Tip or
the Mouse over Tablet Plate will not cause the cursor on the screen to
move.
Changing the Battery
After you have used the Pen Device normally for a while, and the Device begins to
work sluggishly, or does not work at all, the battery may be running low or out. You
may follow the steps below to change the battery in the Pen.
1. Gently slide off the end cap of the Pen. Do not turn, as there are
no threads.
2. Insert a new battery (1.5V, sizeAAA) with the end marked with
minus (-) sign facing Pen Tip.
3. Slide the end cap back in.
Verifying Overall Installation
After both hardware and Driver and Pen Utilities are installed, you may follow the
procedures in this section to verify that both the Tablet hardware and Tablet Driver
are functioning properly. You may also follow these procedures at any time when
you suspect the system may be malfunctioning.
Verifying General Functionality
1. When you move Pen Tip or Mouse over Tablet Plate, the cursor will move
over the screen accordingly. However, the Pen and the Mouse behave
differently. The Pen acts in what is known as Absolute Mode. That is, when

you put the Pen at the upper left corner of the Plate, the cursor will be at the
upper left corner of the screen; when you move the Pen to the center of Tablet
Plate, the cursor will also move to the center of the screen.
On the other hand, the Mouse acts in a way similar to a regular mouse,
also known as Relative Mode. That is, when you move the mouse in Pen
Area, the cursor on the screen moves relative to its position when the current
movement started. You may lift the mouse off the Tablet Plate, put it down to
a different position, and move it again, while the cursor will move accordingly
from its position when the mouse was lifted
2. You should see a small Tablet Icon ( ) in the system Task Bar, usually
located at the lower right corner of the screen.
Verifying Pressure Sensitivity
These are tips to verify that pressure sensitivity functions properly. In most cases, an
application program such as PhotoImpact or Painter controls the exact behavior of the
Pen. Sometimes the pressure sensitivity might even be turned off inadvertently by the
application program. The steps described below help ensure that the Pen Device
functions according to specifications.
1. You know that pressure sensitivity is supported if the Pressure Configuration
Page is present after you tap on the Tablet Icon ( ) on the system Task Bar,
usually located at the lower right corner of the screen (See the section
Configuring the Pen Device).
2. To verify the function further, select the Pressure Configuration Page and try
to draw a few lines in the Pressure Test area. Pressing harder at Pen Tip
should draw thicker lines, and pressing lightly would leave thinner trace in the
area. If this is not so, there might be a problem with the Pen, and you should
seek help from the store you bought the Tablet from. In addition, both a
number and a barometer will indicate the pressure level when you press the
Pen Tip. (Depending on the speed of your computer, drawing very fast may
leave a series of dots (filled circles) in the Test Area instead of a solid
line. This is normal).
3. Writing a few strokes on the PenSigner Program will also indicate clearly
whether pressure sensitivity functions properly. However, you need to set the
Trace Width to 6 pixels or more to make clear variation in the thickness of
trace. See description of Width Adjustment Slide.
If a particular application does not seem to provide pressure sensitivity when the
above tests indicate otherwise, please verify also that the application has been
installed and set properly, and that the application does support Wintab
interface. Some applications may require you to explicitly turn on pressure sensitivity
support, or it may limit the number of pressure levels supported.
Note: The Cordless Mouse does not support pressure sensitivity.

Usage Tips
1. Tapping before You Use the Pen
Before you use a Cordless Pen, after you have not used it for several
minutes, tap the Pen on any surface to "wake" up the Cordless Pen. Or,
whenever the Pen seems not responding, tap it on any surface. This is
because a Cordless Pen would turn itself off to save energy after it has
not been used for several minutes. This action is not necessary for a
Corded Pen.
Similarly, for a Cordless Mouse to be used with a Pen Device, always
press the Left Mouse Button before attempting to use it.
2. Focusing on the Screen
When you write or draw with a Pen Device, try not to look at Tablet
Plate. Focus your eyes on the screen instead. After a little practice,
you will get more fun and higher efficiency because, with a pen, it is
easier to concentrate on the text or picture you are working on.
3. Double Tapping
For best results, when you double tap with a Pen (equivalent to double
click on a mouse), try to keep Pen Tip on the surface of Tablet Plate, or
at least try to lift Pen Tip as little as possible before the second
tap. This would reduce the deviation between the positions of the two
taps.
4. Storing a Cordless Pen Properly
To store a Cordless Pen, make sure that the Tip does not touch
anything. Especially do not stand the Pen on a surface with the tip
down. A constant, though small, pressure applied to the Pen Tip will
cause a constant drain on the battery inside. We recommend that you
put the Pen in the Pen Holder specially designed for this purpose, or
store it with the Pen Tip pointing upward, or lie it horizontally with the
Pen Tip free of any other objects.
Similarly for the Cordless Mouse, avoid pressing on ANY of the
buttons when it is not in use.
5. Scrolling and Panning with a Pen
When you are browsing a document or a Web page, it is especially
convenient to use a Pen. All you do is press and hold Barrel Button 1,
and hover the Pen over Pen Area, or move the Cordless Mouse while
pressing the Middle Mouse Button. With Microsoft Internet Explorer,
for instance, the Web page will scroll up and down, and left and right,

corresponding to your Pen or Mouse movement. The exact behavior of
Pen Scrolling function varies with the application program. Notably,
Microsoft Word supports only vertical scrolling, and NetScape
Navigator 4.5 does not support Pen Scrolling. See the section Pen
Scrolling for more details.
After you use Pen Scrolling without tapping or pressing the Left
Mouse Button for a few minutes, you may find the Cordless Pen or
Mouse stop functioning all in a sudden. Just tap on any surface or press
the Left Mouse Button to “wake up” the Pen or the Mouse.
6. Holding the Pen Vertically
When drawing pictures or signing your name, try to hold the pen
vertically for best results.
7. Using both a Pen and a Regular Mouse
In general, you may have both a Pen Tablet and a regular mouse
installed on the same computer, and you may switch between the two
devices at will. However, for a Pen Tablet with serial port interface,
you have to make sure that the two devices are not in conflict in the
COM port or IRQ they use. The easiest way to avoid this problem is to
connect the mouse to a PS/2 port, and the Pen Tablet to a COM port.
Certain mouse drivers, notably those that come with certain Logitech
mouse models, would render a properly installed Pen Tablet with serial
port interface inoperative. If you wish to have both such a mouse and
the Pen Tablet operable at the same time, remove the non-standard
mouse driver and replace it with a standard mouse driver, such as one
that comes with Windows system.
A Pen Tablet with USB interface does not conflict with another mouse
in these ways.
You may freely choose to use any one of the Pen, the Cordless Mouse
that comes with the Pen Device, and a regular mouse.
8. Using a Pen without a Regular Mouse
You may work with the Pen Device only, without a regular mouse at all.
When you remove a regular mouse with Com (serial) port interface,
make sure you also remove its driver completely. You remove the
mouse driver by selecting Start /Settings /Control Panel /Device
Manager, press the "+" sign to reveal the mouse driver, select and
remove it, and restart the computer. Be careful not to remove the USB
mouse driver that may exist with some models of Pen Devices with
USB interface. If you start with a computer not equipped with a regular
mouse, you should learn how to use the keyboard for setup, using TAB,
Enter, Escape, and other keys.
