TESTING USB TABLETS
Make sure your computer is turned on, the operating system has finished loading, and Intuos is properly
connected to an active USB port. Then try the following tests:
1.
Check power to the tablet. The tablet’s orange status LED will light whenever Intuos is properly
connected and your computer has registered it as a USB device. If the LED is on, continue with step 2.
If the LED is off:
•
Make sure all USB cables are securely connected to an active USB port. Intuos requires that you
connect to a primary USB port (located directly on your computer) or to a powered USB hub.
•
Connect Intuos into a different USB port or try connecting to the USB port on another computer.
•
If the tablet’s status LED does not illuminate after your computer is on and has finished booting up,
your USB port may be inactive. See
