Installing a Tabletworks driver for a GTCO Digitizer
Installing the Tabletworks Driver for your GTCO Digitizer
Today we will be installing the GTCO digitizer driver. That driver is named Tabletworks.
We can install the Tabletworks driver either from the installation CD or by downloading it from the GTCO website.
* Installing Tabletworks from the Tabletworks CD *
To install it from the Tabletworks installation CD:
1. Insert the CD into the disk drive on your computer. After a few moments the installation menu will appear.
2. Click the "Install Tabletworks" button to start the Tabletworks installation.
3. After a few moments the Tabletworks installer Welcome Screen will appear. Click the [Next] button.
4. Then click [Yes] at the License Agreement Screen.
5. For the "Installation Type", leave it as "Complete" and click the [Next] button.
6. The next screen informs you that you may see the Add New Hardware Wizard after the installation is complete. This is very unusual in our experience. Click the [Next] button on that screen.
7. If you are installing over an older version of Tabletworks, the Tabletworks installer will warn you that it will overwrite the previous installation. Please click the [Continue] button.
8. The Tabletworks driver will then install.
9. At the final screen, click [Finish].
10. Then close out of the Tabletworks installation menu by clicking the exit button in the lower right-hand corner of the menu.
* Downloading the Tabletworks driver *
If you don't have a Tabletworks installation disk or you'd like to download the newest version, you can easily download it from the GTCO website.
To download the Tabletworks driver:
1. Start your Internet browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari).
2. In the address bar type www. GTCO.com and press enter.
3. At the GTCO website click the "Technical Support" button on the silver menu near the top of the screen.
4. Select "Large-format digitizers" from the pulldown menu.
5. At the next screen, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click GTCO CalComp graphic in the lower left corner that page.
6. At the next screen click the "Drivers and software downloads" link. That will take you to the drivers and software download page.
7. On the Drivers and Software Download page, the fourth column over is the download column.
8. You can click on the first link in this column. As of the writing of this article the latest Tabletworks driver was TW-10.09.0024. The Tabletworks drivers are updated every few months is a good idea to download the newest version.
9. Download the Tabletworks driver, and save it somewhere on your hard drive.
10. To start the Tabletworks installation, double-click the file you just downloaded and follow the Tabletworks installation instructions above starting with Step 3.
* Plugging in the GTCO Rollup III Digitizer and testing Tabletworks *
Once the Tabletworks drivers installed, you can plug in the digitizer USB cable. Once the cable is plugged in the board will give a double beep as is powers on and the Tabletworks driver should automatically detect the digitizer.
* Plugging in the GTCO Rollup I or II Serial Digitizer and testing Tabletworks *
Once the Tabletworks drivers installed, you can plug in the digitizer serial cable. Once the cable is plugged in, right click the Tabletworks Icon in the System Tray and select "Restart Tabletworks". The Tabletworks driver should automatically detect the digitizer.
* Checking the Operation of the GTCO Rollup Digitizer *
You can check the operation of the digitizer by placing the stylus or cursor on the surface of the board and moving around. As you move the stylus or cursor on the digitizer, the mouse pointer should match your movements on the screen. If it does not, restart your computer and test it again. If it still does not work, then see our troubleshooting section.
* Configuring the Tabletworks driver *
Next we'll need to open up the Tabletworks Control Panel and change some settings to make the operation of the digitizer more reliable.
To open the Tabletworks Control Panel, either find the Tabletworks icon in the System Tray in the lower right corner of the screen (near the clock) or open the Tabletworks Control Panel from the Programs Menu.
* Enabling Wintab *
Once the Tabletworks Control Panel is open you'll see your digitizer listed in the upper portion of the Control Panel. You will also see three checkboxes after the name of your digitizer. Make sure that both Mouse and Wintab boxes are checked. The Tabcon box should be left blank unless you are explicitly told to enable it by your software vendor. If you enable both the Tabcon and Wintab options, the digitizer may not operate properly.
* Specifying a Cursor *
Then down toward the center of the dialog box, click the "Specify a cursor" checkbox and then select either a stylus or a 16 button cursor from the pulldown list below.
Next, click on either the "Stylus" tab or "16 Button Cursor" tab depending on whether you have a stylus or 16 button cursor. On that tab, change the Mouse Mode to "Relative". If the mouse mode is left on "Absolute" and the digitizer stylus or cursor is left on the digitizer, it will automatically snap the mouse pointer to the corresponding position on the screen when you're working in non-wintab programs. That is very annoying.
Your Tabletworks is now ready to use.

Snappy Delivery for Your Holiday Snaps
Snap happy on holiday; have 100s of photos to print? If so don't despair because it need not cost an arm and a leg when you look into getting free digital photos online with nothing to pay but the post and package to have your snaps sent out to you!
The beauty of the Digital Camera and online prints
The majority of people today choose to purchase digital cameras as opposed to the traditional 35mm film camera as there are numerous advantages. One of these advantages is that you are able to upload your photos from the camera or SD card to your computer and then choose a company offering digital photo printing online. There are many sites offering free digital photos to first time customers, it is the companies way of getting you to become a member. Once you see your snaps in glorious vivid colour they hope you will use their service time and time again and pay for it. However there is nothing to say that you have to use their service again!
Typically online companies offer between 20 and up to as many as 50 prints just for the cost of the post and packing. P&P generally costs just a pound or two so you get a real bargain, and some superb professionally printed photos. The prints you get are just as good as the ones you get if you take your SD card to a shop on the high street and you do not have to move from your chair when you decide on digital photo printing online.
Online digital photo printing vs. home printing
Of course you may own your very own digital colour printer that prints photos perfectly, so why would you consider even paying P&P to have your photos printed online? Well you may wish to weigh up the fact that you have to purchase the photo paper, which does not come cheap. Proper high gloss photo paper typically comes in small packs so you could end up paying a small fortune out just on paper, especially if you have a lot of photos to print. Then of course there is the ink. Printer ink is as a rule very expensive, and again you may need a couple of packs of ink if you are printing a lot of photos on high quality. You may also wish to consider how long it will take you to set up your printer and print out the photos, this can be very time consuming and boring. When you take all of the above into account you may see why free digital photos online may be a better idea, for just the cost of P&P.
When looking for a digital photo printing company check out several of them to find the best deal for your needs. Don't forget the free prints are a onetime deal when you sign up for an account with the company; however there is nothing to stop you from signing up with different companies whenever you have photos to print. It`s a quick, easy and cheap way to get perfect professional prints delivered to your door.
