Installation of the Touch Panel Driver
The CD-ROM contains two different types of control
software installers (one for Windows 98SE and Windows
ME, and one for Windows 2000 and Windows XP). Start
the set-up file corresponding to the OS you are using.
Note:
When a previous version driver software has been
installed, first uninstall it and then install the new driver
software.

Setup program
The setup program is to set communication ports and various operation modes and to carry out calibration or so on.
Performing setup in the initial state saves the modified contents in “tpdrv.ini” setting file in “C:\Program Files	pdrv”
folder. Those contents are still valid at the time of the next startup.
Pressing any button displays the setting window
relative to that item to permit changes in set values.
Changes to each item are reflected to the driver
software in operation when closing the window.
Pressing the [Close] button after completion of all
settings records all set values in “tpdrv.ini”.

Communication Port
This sets the COM port of connecting PC.
The port being used for connection with the touch panel is
selected.
Setup program
When “Auto connect” is chosen, driver software detects it
automatically, and it is set up.
If it isnt possible to connect automatically, choose a

Only the signal of the optional touch pen with the
same ID is accepted.
Screen indication is changed in accordance with the
established direction of the panel orientation.
(1) Normal
It is chosen when the display is used in a horizontal
position.
(2) Vertical
It is chosen when the display is used in a vertical
position.(

Setup program
Pressing the [Calibration] button on the main window activates the calibration screen to carry out calibration of the
detection of the Touch Panel and PC (in order to place the mouse cursor at the touched position).
Briefly touch the center of the target displayed on the screen in order as they appear.
Target is displayed in the order of upper left, bottom left, and upper right.
To stop calibration, press any key on the keyboard.
Once calibration is carried out, the calibrated value is saved in the setting file. Since the calibrated value is read

Touching the touch panel with your finger corresponds to the holding down operation of the left mouse button. Release
of your finger from the touch panel corresponds to the release operation from the left mouse button.
Therefore at the time of releasing the finger from the touch panel, click event occurs.
In addition, when moving the finger, the mouse cursor follows the movement so that the drag operation is made
possible.

Setup program
Drag
Dragging Releasing the button
Touching the touch panel corresponds to the single click operation of the left mouse button (ON /OFF of the button).
When touching the touch panel, click event occurs. The cursor does not follow the movement of the finger (i.e. drag
function not available).
Click on touch
Releasing the finger from the touch panel, click event occurs. While the finger touches the touch panel, no click
event occurs. In addition, the cursor does not follow the movement of the finger (i.e. no drag function is available).
Click on Release1
Releasing the finger from the touch panel, click event occurs. For the dragging function, the cursor does not follow

TroubleShooting
Before requesting repairsPlease check the following points.
         Symptom
No response at all to
input
Suddenly stops
responding during
operation
Response is slow
There are times when
there is no responseCheck
 Check the USB cable
Check that the USB cable is securely connected.
 Check extraneous light
Check whether there is (or might be) any equipment in the surrounding area that
uses a powerful light source or infrared light. The touch panel is an optic type that
uses infrared light. Extraneous light containing infrared radiation may interfere with
operation.
Fluorescent lamps:These are not a problem because they do not produce
infrared light.
Sunlight: This is not a problem if there is no direct exposure.
Incandescent light bulbs:These require caution because they produce the most
infrared light. Keep such light sources as far away as
possible from the touch panel.

 Check for incorrect operation due to electrical noise
The microcomputer in the Touch Panel may operate incorrectly if any sources of
electrical noise are close to it. Keep such sources of electrical noise as far away as
possible from the Touch Panel.
 Check for incorrect operation due to electrical noise
The microcomputer in the Touch Panel may operate incorrectly if any sources of
electrical noise are close to it. Keep such sources of electrical noise as far away as
possible from the Touch Panel.
 Check object used for input (not by finger)
Check whether input is being done using an object smaller than a finger.
If input is attempted using an object smaller than 6 mm x 6 mm wide, the intermediate
coordinates of the infrared beam may not be detected. Do not attempt to enter data
using a device with dimensions of 2 mm by 2 mm or less.
This may slow detection or result in no detection at all.

 Did you touch the infrared transmissive area on the screen before the PC had
completed the starting of its OS?
If so, please restart your PC.
