Touch Mode
The Touch mode affects how the touch screen accepts and
processes input. There are two basic modes of operation: Stream
Mode and Point Mode.

In Mouse Emulation (Stream Mode), positional information is
relayed to the operating system continuously. In this mode
you can place the stylus or your finger on the screen and drag
items around. This is the mode you’ll probably want to use for
standard usage.

Click on Touch (Point Mode) only accepts and relays one posi-
tional coordinate each time the stylus or a finger touches the
screen. In order to relay a new positional coordinate to Windows,
you must retouch the screen with your finger or stylus. This
mode is useful for menu or button-driven touch applications —
such as kiosks, P.O.S. or hospitality order taking — that do not
involve tasks that require continuous data input like signature
capture, item dragging or handwriting recognition.

To set the Touch Mode:

1. From the “Device” tab, tap on the “PenMount 6000 USB”

icon and then tap “Configure”. Alternatively, just double-tap
on the “PenMount 6000 USB” icon.

2. Tap on the “Setting” tab and then tap on either option box

in the “Touch Mode” section at the top of the tab.
