Not having SE or a CTK-4200 I'll make a guess. Connect the USB cable. Watch see if Windows installs drivers automatically. Assuming this is the case and the device is showing as correctly installed in Device Manager with any luck it will show up as MIDI controller in Pro Tools. You might want to re boot just for good measure after its installed. If the device is not USB class compliant than you need to hit Casio's website for a driver and install that.

If the keyboards has some built in sounds that you like you would run the audio out into your interface. Chances are if its one 1/4 output and the keyboard is stereo than its got a 1/4 stereo output jack and you will some type of 1/4 inch stereo splitter Y cable. Which you would connect to a pair of inputs on your interface.
