  1. Log into computer with Butler credentials. 
  2. Plug the USB cable for the Wacom Tablet into the computers USB drive.
  3. The device will install the driver automatically (should take 30 seconds at most). 
  4. The pen (which is located at the IC desk) will function as a mouse when interacting with the drawing area of the tablet:
    • The following information can be found on pg. 12 of the Wacom Tablet Manual.  
      • Hold the Wacom pen like you would a normal pen.
      • To move the cursor across the screen with your pen, lift the pen and slide it along the surface area to a new location, hovering your hand above the tablet, and then place the pen tip back close to the surface. 
      • To click an object, tap the pen to the surface of the tablet once when the object is underneath the cursor.
      • To draw an object simply press and hold the pen to the surface of the tablet and drag it to make your desired shape(s).  
      • To double-click an object quickly tap the pen twice to the surface of the tablet when the object is underneath the cursor, or press the upper switch on the side of the pen (the switch closest to the eraser tip). This switch can also be programmed to perform a different feature, this is just the default setting.  Consult the manual to change the button settings.  
      • To right-click press the lower switch on the side of the pen (the one closest to the pen tip) when hovering the cursor over an object.  This switch can also be programmed to perform a different feature, this is just the default setting.  Consult the manual to change the button settings.
