Before You Begin
• Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can
get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep
small components separated.
• Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
• A Philips screwdriver
• A flat-tipped screwdriver
• A set of jewelers Screwdrivers
• A grounding strap
• An anti-static pad
• Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-
mended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
• Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off.
Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching
a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry
environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of static
electricity exists.
Precautions
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
• Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are
working inside the case.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the
computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any
other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the com-
ponents on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress
the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped
with until they are ready for installation.
• Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal
pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are
placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the
jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on
just one pin, the jumper is open.
Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin
jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).

Touchscreen Configuration of PenMount
Digitizer Driver
With PenMount Windows Universal V2.2.0.283 and the later versions, since
the touchscreen is automatically installed as a digitizer device in Windows
Vista/7, the functions built in Windows Vista / 7 such as rotation, multimonitor, flicks, and context menu function (which launches a context menu
by user’s long-pressing on touchscreen rather than clicking the right mouse
button or pressing the application key on the keyboard) will be supported.
To configure touchscreen in PenMount Digitizer driver:
Double-click on the PenMountControlPanel icon
on the Desktop.
On PenMountControlPanel you are able to see the device of PenMount
6000 USB/RS-232 detected by your system under Device tab. Select a
device and click the Configure button.
In this window, you can find out how many devices are detected on your
system.
Calibrate
This function offers two ways to calibrate your touchscreen. ‘Standard
Calibration’ adjusts most touchscreens while ‘Advanced Calibration’
adjusts aging touchscreens.

mode call calibration function, this can uses 4, 9, 16
or 25 points to calibrate.
E.g. Please run ms-dos prompt or command prompt.
c:\Program Files\PenMount Universal Driver\DMCCtrl.exe
NOTE: The older a touchscreen is, the more calibration points of the
AdvancedMode it needs. For an optimal accuracy we suggest to
use a stylus to make the advanced calibration.

About
This panel displays information about the PenMount controller and driver
version.
This section will guide you to the special software functions that configure and adjust the PenMount controller
and touchscreen hardware. Please note that not all of the functions are available for every driver. See the
following table for drivers’ software functions and their availability for specific interface and systems:
V2.2.0.283 and later versions, since the
touchscreen is automatically installed as
a digitizer device in Windows Vista/7/8,
the functions which are built within
Windows Vista/ 7/ 8 such as rotation,
multi-monitors, flicks, and context menu
function (which launches a context menu
by user’s long-pressing on touchscreen
rather than clicking the right-mouse
button or pressing the application key on
the keyboard) will be supported.
The following content in this section deals mainly with PenMount Windows Universal Driver (for 2000/XP/2003/VISTA/7/8). For this
driver, the function of Tools should be made known to you first. When you
click the PenMount icon in the notification area and select “Control Panel”
from the menu, “PenMount Control Panel” with the four tags “Device”,
“Multiple-Monitors”, “Tools”, “About” will appear as the screenshot
below:
The buttons on such “PenMountControlPanel” have the following
functions:
DrawTests or demonstrates the PenMount
touchscreen operation.
Right Button Icon Enable right button function. The icon can
show on Desktop or in the notification
area.
Gesture EnableEnable/configure Gesture AP to support
PenMount gestures recognition.
Screen Rotation Monitor The function supports nVidia, Intel, SMI
or ATI and software such as Portrait Pivot Pro rotation automatic detection.
Standard Calibration function lets you match the touchscreen to your
display so that the point you touch is accurately tracked on screen. Standard
Calibration only requires four points for calibration and one point for
confirmation. Under normal circumstance Standard Calibration is all you
need to perform an accurate calibration.
Advanced Calibration
Advanced Calibration function improves the accuracy of calibration by
using more involved engineering calculations. Use this function only if
you have tried the Standard Calibration and there is still a discrepancy
in the way the touchscreen maps to the display. You can choose 9, 16 or
25 points to calibrate, though we suggest that you first try 9 points, if it is
still not tracking well then try 16 or 25 points. The more points you use for
calibration, the greater the accuracy. Errors in calibration may occur due to
viewing angle, or individual skill, and there may be little difference in using
16 or 25 points. Note that a stylus is recommended for the most accurate
results.
Rotation
If you use a rotating monitor you will need a display card such as from
nVidia, Intel, SMI or ATI and software such as PortraitPivotPro. For
software operation and features, please refer to your software manual.
Configuring the rotation function is easy. Select this option and a ‘point’
appears for you to touch. Once the point is touched the software driver
understands which degree you plan to rotate your display. The rotation
function supports 90, 180 and 270 degrees rotation.
Draw
Tests or demonstrates the PenMount touchscreen operation. The display
shows touch location. Click Draw to start. Touch the screen with your finger
or a stylus and the drawing screen registers touch activity such left, right, up, down, penup, and pendown.
There are currently a number of software packages on the market that
support rotating monitors 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. However you will
not be able to use a touchscreen unless it is matched to the appropriate
rotation. Our rotation configuration function allows you to easily match the
touchscreen when you rotate your monitor.
Mouse Operation Mode enables and disables mouse’s ability of dragging
onscreen icons, which is applicable to the configuration of POS terminals.

Wake Up function lets the user touch the screen and wake the system up
from ‘suspend’ mode.
Plot Calibration Data
Plot Calibration Data function displays the touchscreen linearity map,
which is available if the PenMount driver provides an Advance Calibration
function. When touchscreens age their touch linearity declines. This nonlinearity is apparent when the touched point on the touchscreen is not the
same as the point on the display. The Plot Calibration Data function shows
the linearity status of the touchscreen. This is only a support function for the
user. The exact linearity of a touchscreen requires a linearity test machine.
Right Button
Right Button function simulates the right button function of a mouse.
Click the right button and the user can only touch the screen once and the
driver changes the touch definition to the left button.
Hide Cursor
Software drivers for Windows systems let the user adjust the frequency and
length of the beep sound. The drivers let the user adjust the desired touchscreen sound, as well as turn the sound off.
HideCursor function keeps the cursor arrow and other cursor symbols
from appearing when using the touchscreen. The cursor appears when user
turns this function off.
