Eraser—When brought within proximity of the display

(5 mm/0.2 in), the tablet portion of the display reports

the pen location. Pressure information is reported as

you press down on the eraser. By default, the eraser

function is set to erase.

Some pens may be configured with a pen tether

connection point.

DuoSwitch (side switch)—Be sure the programmable

switch is in a convenient location where you can toggle

it with your thumb or forefinger but not accidentally

press it while using the pen. You can use the switch

whenever the pen tip is within proximity of the display

screen surface; you do not need to touch the pen tip to

the display surface.

Toggle the switch in either direction to activate the

button functions. By default, the upper switch is set to

double click and the lower switch is set to right click.

Pen tip (replaceable nib)—The pen is activated as soon as it is

brought within proximity (5 mm/0.2 in) of the pen display screen.

This allows you to position the screen cursor without touching the

pen tip to the display screen.

When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the pen simulates a primary

mouse button click. Tip click pressure can be adjusted in the

ActivPanel control panel.

Notes:

When not in use, place the pen in the pen storage compartment or lay it flat on your desk.

To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the pen in a container where it will rest on its tip.

Some product configurations may come with a pen that has no DuoSwitch or eraser. In that case, you

can ignore all explanations within this guide regarding the side switch or eraser.

Important:

Use only a pen specified for use with your pen display. Other pens may not function properly.

Also, the pen tip is specifically designed for use with the pen display. If your pen display has a coated

surface, the tips on other pens could damage the pen display screen.

Installation

 

The computer treats the ActivPanel as two

separate devices (the display and the pen).

Therefore, the installation process is completed

in two stages:

• First install as a display.

•

Then install as a pen tablet.

Both stages require hardware and software

installations and adjustments. Carefully follow

ALL instructions.

Important: You MUST install the ActivPanel

driver software for correct pen-on-screen

functionality.

• System requirements

• Step 1: Display installation

• Step 2: Pen tablet installation

 

Make sure your computer meets the following

minimum system requirements:

•

PC. Windows 7, Vista™, XP (32 and 64 bit).

DVI or VGA connector, available USB port,

and CD-ROM drive.

•

Macintosh. OS X, v10.4.1 or greater. DVI or

VGA connector, available USB port, and CD-

ROM drive. ADC connectors require an ADC

to DVI adapter, not included.

The pen display supports both digital (DVI)

and analog (VGA) video signals. If updating

your video card, ﬁrst complete the video card

installation before connecting the pen display. If

you have another display that is compatible with

your video card, you can use that display to verify

the video card is operating correctly.

Although you can connect the pen display to

either a DVI or VGA video card, connecting to

a DVI video card generally results in optimum

performance.

Notes:

You may be able to set up the pen display as a

mirrored, extended, or independent display.

When working with more than one monitor, the

pen display will map to the monitors based upon

how your system is conﬁgured. By default, if you

are in mirror mode, the pen display will map to the

entire space on each monitor. See your hardware

and operating system documentation for details

on conﬁguring your system for use with multiple

monitors.

A Display Toggle function is available for use with

multiple monitor systems. This enables you to

toggle the screen cursor between the pen display

and your other monitors.

The pen display can be used alone or with another

display. You may connect a second device, such

as a monitor or LCD projector, to the DVI-I out

port. When using this port, the second device will

mirror the image on the pen display. Complete the

pen display installation before connecting another

device to the unit.

In this step, the interactive pen display is installed as a monitor on your system.

Important: Do not connect the USB data cable until instructed to do so. Never connect or disconnect

the video or power cables while your computer or pen display are powered on. This can damage the

display or video card.

1. Turn oﬀ your computer.

2. If your computer has only one video connector, unplug your previous monitor or add a second video

card. Determine if your computer has a digital (DVI) or analog (VGA) connector and set the DVI/

VGA switch for the video connection you are using. See – A – in the connection diagram.

3. Making sure to tighten the connector thumbscrews, follow the below instructions for your video

connector. See – B – in the connection diagram.

For DVI operation, connect the supplied DVI-D to DVI-I video

cable between the DVI-I in connector located on the pen display

unit and the DVI connector on your video card.

For VGA operation, connect the supplied VGA to DVI-I cable

between the DVI in connector located on the pen display unit and

the VGA connector on your video card.

If connecting to an Apple ADC or mini-VGA connection, you will

need to obtain an appropriate adapter. Adapters can be purchased

at various retail outlets.

For ADC operation, plug one end of the supplied DVI-D to DVI-I

cable into the ADC to DVI adapter. Then connect the other end of

the cable to the DVI-I in connector on the pen display.

Next connect the ADC adapter end to the ADC connector on your

video card.

For an Apple mini-VGA connector, plug the VGA end of the

supplied VGA to DVI-I cable into the mini-VGA port adapter. Then

connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI-I in connector on the

pen display. Next connect the mini-VGA port end to the mini-VGA

port on your video card.

4. Connect the power adapter to the pen display. See – C – in the connection diagram.

5. Connect the adapter power cable and plug into an AC outlet. See – D – in the connection diagram.

6. Turn on the pen display. The power LED will light orange.
