power switch, remember to turn it on.)

close all open applications.
3. Insert the Wacom tablet CD into your computer.

Wacom control panel is open, you can access the User's
Manual from the control panel Help menu.
* iMAC REQUIREMENTS *
For the iMac, USB tablets require Mac OS 8.5 or greater
and Mac OS ROM 1.2.1 or greater. Click the Apple icon and
select About This Computer… to verify your operating
system and OS ROM versions. If the Mac OS ROM version
does not display, or an older Mac OS ROM version is
displayed, you must install the firmware and OS ROM
update. If necessary, install Mac OS 8.5 and run the iMac
Firmware Update located on the Wacom tablet CD in the
Apple iMac Updates folder. Next, run iMac Update 1.1.
Then install the tablet driver software.

double-click on the Install icon.
2. Select the Remove button.
3. Shut down your computer and disconnect your tablet.
KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS
* GENERAL NOTES *
ADB TABLETS - ADVANCED MAPPING
With Mac OS 7.5, a system crash will occur when
modifying Advanced Mapping settings for an ADB tablet as
follows: If the Tablet Area is set to a portion of the tablet
and the Aspect is set to Mouse Mode, a system crash will
occur and the tablet will no longer be seen. Restarting the
computer will not solve this problem. If this happens, zap
the P-RAM to reset the ADB bus. To zap the P-RAM, hold
down the Command, Option, P, and R keys while the system
boots until you hear the Startup Tone three times. The
tablet will be found and function normally. To avoid this
problem, download and install the free system upgrade to
OS 7.5.5 from www.apple.com.
CORRECTIONS TO THE USER'S MANUAL
The following corrections are listed by manual section:
COPYING SETTINGS
The Copy Settings To dialog box does not fully function as
described in the User’s Manual and online Help. In the
“Copy To” portion of the dialog box, you can only copy to
one tool for one application on one tablet.
