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 Program on Windows 3.1. For DOS system, please refer to the section Installing Driver Program on DOS.

 

Installing Driver and Pen Utilities on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

  1. Attach the Pen Device to your computer as described before and turn on power if it was turned off. When Windows starts, it may display a New Hardware Found dialog. If so, choose Cancel to get out of it.
  2. Insert the Driver Disc into the CD-ROM drive.  Assume this drive to be “E”.
  3. Select “Start” at the lower left corner of the screen and select “Run”.
  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 and Pen Utilities will be copied. You may also select or deselect the installation of some of Pen Utilities and / or online User's Manual. Change it if you wish and select OK to continue.

    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.

  1. 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.
  2. When the installation is complete, you will see a dialog box indicating it is about to restart the system. Choose “OK” to continue.
  3. 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/XP

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/XP when Windows becomes active. Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP 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.

  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 8.
  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.

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.
