Using the Topaz Signature Pad
- The pad should operate immediately after driver is installed and
the signature pad is plugged into the computer USB port. Nothing
else needs to be done.
- Use ONLY the supplied plastic pen stylus to write directly on the
signature pad's sensor surface. The stylus must come into direct contact
in order to function. Do not attempt to capture a signature through
a sheet or pad of papers.
- Signatures are NOT stored in the signature pad, but are captured
by software on the computer. Therefore, the fact that a signature
has been made does not guarantee the signature has been captured.
In order to properly capture signatures on the computer, make sure
EBMS is running and then go to the Capture Signature dialog in Invoice,
Payment Entry, Trucking manifest, etc. Review Signature
Capture > Electronic Signature Processing for steps to use
the pad within EBMS.
- Do not apply excessive pressure when signing or risk damaging the
signature pad permanently because this device is based on pressure-sensitive
technology.
- If the signature pad's sensor membrane surface is cut, scratched,
or otherwise harmed, the device's performance will suffer and it may
fail completely.
- For those that have not installed the driver or have not connected
the SigLite 1x5 to their machine will still be able to view existing
signature but will get warning message when trying to capture a new
one.
