ENGLISH 1 I. General Information 1. Overview Welcome to the world of tablet and digital pen! You will be able to discover how easy it is to control your MAC using a wireless digital pen instead of a mouse. The function of the digital pen is able to draw a line very thin, thick, and light or dark (called pressure sensitivity). You also can write, sign, annotate documents, and draw, sketch or paint as easily as you would on normal paper and simulate the functions like a pencil, marker, brush, or watercolor pen by using commercial software packages such as Adobe® PhotoShop™, Corel® Painter™ and Paint Shop™. With the new touch function, you are able to use gestures with fingertips to explore and navigate easily to flip, zoom in/zoom out and move to manage your tasks among several applications in Windows 7/8 and Mac X 10.5 and above version. Touch Functions After installing the device driver, you are able to use your fingertip(s) with different gestures to work. Check the touch section for more details. 2. Pen Tablet Functions After installing the device driver, your pen tablet features has the following functions: 1. Direct pointing – You can move the cursor to any location on the screen by hovering the digital pen tip over the tablet’s surface. 2. Three-button mouse commands - Your pen tablet provides all the functions of a three- button mouse by using its pen tip and two buttons. 3. Pressure sensitivity – This feature allows you to emulate various brushes and pencils and you can press down on the pen tip harder, lighter, stronger or thicker, and you will get different types of pencil lines. 3.

Hardware Installation Connect the tablet USB interface to your MAC after you have finished the driver installation and restarted the system: Install the driver first before plugging the tablet into your MAC. 6. Verifying Hardware and Driver Functions Follow these steps to verify the tablet is installed properly: The LED light on the tablet is the main indicator for hardware operation and depending on your pen tablet model may be located at a different place than shown in the above diagram. This LED normally stays off, and will only turn on or off in response to various conditions. Watch the status of the LED on the tablet as you go through these test steps: 6.1. Tap on any surface with the tip of the pen, or press the left button of the mouse, to “wake it up” if it has gone into standby mode. A built-in power saving function may have forced the pen or mouse into standby mode if either of them has not used for a period of time. 6.2. As soon as the pen tablet activates, the LED will be light briefly, and will then go and stay off again. 6.3. When the tablet detects the presence of the digital pen or mouse, the LED will stay on. This happens either when the pen tip is hovering or is placed in the tablet working area. 6.4. When you press a button on the pen barrel, or click a mouse button, the LED will light. 6.5. Hovering and moving the pen or the mouse in the working area will cause the cursor on the screen to move accordingly.
ENGLISH 4 6.6. When you put your fingertip(s) on the working area of tablet, the LED will stay on. The tablet will automatically detect your fingertip(s) or the digital pen, you can only use one method while working. The digital pen is set as the priority input tool when the gesture function is enabled. 7. Usage Tips 7.1. Wake up the digital mouse from standby mode If the digital mouse does not react after you do not use it for a while, press the left button to “wake” it up from the standby mode. 7.2. Tapping before you use the digital pen Before you use the digital pen, or after not using it for several minutes, tap the pen on any surface of the tablet to “wake” it up from the standby mode. 7.3. Double tapping When you double tap with the digital pen (equivalent to a double click with a mouse), try to keep the pen tip away from the tablet’s surface, or at least try to lift the pen tip as fast as possible before the second tap. 7.4. Storing the digital pen To store the pen, make sure the pen tip does not touch anything, and especially do not let the pen stand in a cup or penholder with the tip down. Even though the possibility is low, pressing the pen tip will still cause a constant drain on the pen’s battery. Place the pen in a penholder, or turn the pen tip pointing upward or horizontally with the pen tip free of any pressure by other objects. 7.5. Scrolling function of digital pen The digital pen has the same function as a mouse for scrolling pages. Press the first button of the digital pen (same function as the middle button of the mouse) over the tablet’s working area. 7.6. Using a pen without an ordinary mouse You may install the digital pen, digital mouse, and normal mouse in your computer at the same time and you can also remove them to different computer as well. However, only one device will be able to work at the same time. ღღ Do not use more than two devices at the same time in case the screen cursor is jittering or not moving. II.

ENGLISH 20III. Storing the Digital pen and changing the Pen Battery & Tip 1. Storing the digital pen properly: To store the digital pen, make sure that the tip does not touch anything, and do not let the pen stand in a cup or penholder with the tip down. It is recommended to place the pen in a pen holder or store it with the pen tip pointing upward, or place it horizontally with the pen tip free of any other objects. 2. Changing the wireless stylus pen tip A: Pull out the pen tip from the digital pen by using the Pen Clip. B: Push the pen tip into the digital pen.
ENGLISH 21IV. Common Problems and Solutions (1) Why does the cursor not move while moving the digital pen on the tablet after installation? Verify that the hardware functions properly, and check the tablet control panel (the Mac system is in the application of the pen tablet settingÆTablet setting) to verify that the tablet driver has been loaded. If the tablet does not appear, remove and re-install the driver. (2) No matter how hard I press on the pen tip, the line does not become thicker, so why is there no pressure sensitivity? Test the pen’s pressure sensitivity as described in the section “Verifying pressure sensitivity” above. If the testing is not ok, contact customer service. (3) Why does the cursor move erratically or jitters when the pen is held still? Keep the tablet at least five inches away from a monitor, modem, and other electronic devices, because certain devices may emit electromagnetic interference. (4) How can I get updated software? You can download the latest driver from our website www.geniusnet.com.tw. Follow these instructions: 1. Uninstall your current tablet driver: Click˰˰Finder˱►˰GO˱Menu ► [Applications] ► [Genius] ►[ioCentre] ► [Uninstall]. 2. Download the latest version of the driver by clicking on the link and save it into your hard disk. 3. Unzip the file in a folder on your hard disk 4.
