Use the Touchscreen
Computers with the touchscreen option are shipped with the
touchscreen and touchscreen controller installed and connected.
Touchscreen Serial Port
Usage The optional touchscreen controller connects internally to the COM3
serial port. The touchscreen is factory configured with the proper
COM3 and touchscreen driver settings, so no user configuration is
required.
Driver Software The touchscreen driver is already loaded on the computer. The driver
software is also on the accessory CD.
For Additional Information For more information on setting up or operating a touchscreen or for
future driver upgrades, refer to http://www.ab.com.
Resistive Touchscreen
Technology Resistive touchscreens are activated when you apply pressure to the
touchscreen with your finger. You can operate a resistive touchscreen
while wearing gloves.
TIP
If it becomes necessary to reinstall the touchscreen driver, the
touchscreen utility will automatically detect the serial port used
by the touchscreen controller.
ATTENTION
Do not use sharp instruments to activate the touchscreen.
Scratching the surface of the touchscreen could damage the
unit.
