Computer Checklist
 Is the computer plugged into a live outlet? Did you turn on the computer?
 Does the computer work with any software? Try one of your other programs. If the
computer has a diagnostic diskette, use it.
 Is your software package installed correctly?
 Does the serial port work? The only way to test the port without special equipment
is to reinstall something that has worked in the past and test if it still works.
 Have there been any recent electrical storms in your area that may have damaged
your equipment?
Software Checklist
Does the tablet work with some software?
 If your tablet currently works with some software packages, you know that the
tablet, serial port and computer work.
 Even if the software package you are trying to install and the software that is
working both support the same devices, it does not always mean that you can use
the same tablet settings. The output format may be the same, but the
communications protocol, resolution, operating mode and data rate may be
different. Check your software’s requirements.
 Call the software manufacturer. The software package may have an error with
another component of your system.
