   • Close all running programs.
   • Temporarily disable any antivirus software and firewalls.
2. Download Driver: Download the latest driver from the official website: http://www.bostotablet.com/down.aspx
3. Install Driver: Run the downloaded installer as an Administrator. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
4. Verification:

   • Mac: Locate the "Bisofice Tablet" icon in "Launchpad". Clicking it will reveal a small icon in the top-right navigation bar, which opens the driver settings panel.

4.2 Connecting the Tablet

The Bisofice 12HD-A uses a convenient 2-in-1 USB cable for both power and data transmission. No extra power cord is required for the tablet itself.

1. Connect the Type-C end of the 2-in-1 cable to the Type-C port on the Bisofice tablet.
2. Connect the HDMI end of the 2-in-1 cable to your computer's HDMI port.
3. Connect the USB end of the 2-in-1 cable to your computer's USB port. This provides power and data.
4. Ensure all connections are secure. The tablet display should activate.

For low power pen display, an additional power adapter might be required, though typically not needed with the 2-in-1 cable setup.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Stylus Configuration

The Bisofice Stylus Configuration Tool allows you to customize the pen's behavior:

• Pressure Adjustment: In the driver settings, locate the pressure adjustment slider. Moving the slider to the right increases the pressure required to draw a line.
• Sensitivity Adjustment: The sensitivity slider controls how much the line thickness changes within the same range of pressure. Moving it to the right increases the variation in line thickness.

5.2 Screen Calibration

To ensure accurate pen-to-screen alignment, perform screen calibration:

1. Open the Bisofice Stylus Configuration Tool (driver settings panel).
2. Look for a 'Calibration' or 'Screen Mapping' option.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to tap the designated points on the tablet screen with your stylus. This process aligns the pen input with the display output.

5.3 Tablet Buttons

Use the physical buttons on the side of the tablet to adjust display settings:

• Menu: Press to open the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
• Brightness + / -: Use these buttons to navigate through OSD menu options or adjust the screen brightness directly.
• Return: Press to go back to the previous menu level or exit the OSD menu.

5.4 Pen Nib Replacement

Over time, the stylus nib may wear down. Replace it as follows:

1. Use the included pen nib remover tool to gently pull out the old nib from the stylus.
2. Insert a new replacement nib firmly into the stylus until it clicks into place.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Screen: Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
