[Video Coming Soon] 

Step 1

First, visit the 2nd floor service desk in Alden Library to check out the Wacom pen. The Wacom tablet will not work without the pen. 

Step 2

Turn on and log into the Macintosh computer which is located on the 2nd floor Multimedia Center connected to the Wacom Tablet  

You can use your OHIO credentials or the guest log in which is:  

Username: Library  

Password: Guest1 

Step 3

Turn on the Wacom tablet by pressing the button on the top-right corner. The Wacom tablet will act as a dual monitor to the Macintosh Computer 

Step 4

The Wacom Application, a white circle with a blue W in the middle, will automatically open on the desktop. You’ll have to bypass the Terms and Conditions page. Click on Accept at the bottom-right corner.  

Step 5

Open your desired application such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, etc.  When using an Adobe application, you’ll need to log in using either OHIO credentials or logging in using Google, Facebook (Meta), or an Apple account. If you need help logging in, seek help at the 2nd floor service desk in Alden Library. 

Step 6

Once the application is open, click on the top of the application window and drag it all the way to the right of the computer screen until it pops up in the Wacom tablet. You may need to resize the window in the Wacom screen to see all tools and applications. Try to think of the Wacom tablet as a dual monitor. 

Step 7

Once the application window is visible in the Wacom tablet, you’re ready to use the pen and start working.
