Installing the Touch Driver for MS-DOS and
Windows 3.1
You must have a DOS mouse driver (MOUSE.COM) installed for your mouse
if you wish to continue using your mouse along with your touchmonitor in
DOS.
To install Windows 3.x and MS-DOS from Windows 95/98, follow the
directions below:
1 Insert the Elo CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2 From DOS, type d:\EloDos_W31 to change to the correct directory on the
CD-ROM (your CD-ROM drive may be mapped to a different drive letter).
3 Type install and press Enter to start the installation.
4 Align the touchscreen.
You must have already completed Steps 1 and 2 before proceeding. Refer to
Chapter 2 of the Elo DOS and Windows Driver Guide as necessary for
additional installation information.
To run the INSTALL program:
1 Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt in the directory containing the driver
install files.
2 INSTALL asks you to select the software to install. Then choose
d:\EloDos_W31 from the displayed list.
3 INSTALL also asks you for the paths to use during installation, or you may
use its defaults. INSTALL creates directories as necessary, and warns you if
they exist.
If you are updating your software, you may wish to specify the paths containing
the earlier versions, and overwrite the obsolete files. All executable programs
are upward compatible. For a list of differences from each previous version of
the drivers, be sure to select "Differences from Previous Versions" during the
installation process.
INSTALL updates your AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the drivers you select.
INSTALL makes a copy of your original AUTOEXEC.BAT file, called
AUTOEXEC.OLD. If you already have Elo driver commands in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, they will be commented out.
When INSTALL is finished, it leaves a file called GO.BAT in the subdirectory
you specified. GO loads the touchscreen driver, runs the calibration program
ELOCALIB, and gives you some final instructions.
If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also calibrate the touchscreen within
Windows 3.1 with the Touchscreen Control Panel.

CHAPTER 3
OPERATION
About Touchmonitor Adjustments
By design, your Elo Entuitive touchmonitor should not require any adjustments.
The factory settings will give you optimum video results with most standard PC
video display adapters.
However, after connecting your touchmonitor you can further optimize the
settings to meet your requirements by following the directions in this chapter.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized, so you
do not need to reset your choices every time you unplug your touchmonitor or
power it off and on. If there is a power failure your touchmonitor settings will
not default to the factory specifications.
IMPORTANT: Do not insert conductive metal objects into the monitor's circuitry. The monitor uses high
voltages and the metal edges can be sharp. Disassembly or realignment of the monitor
circuitry voids the warranty.

CHAPTER 4
TOUCH TECHNOLOGY
Touchscreens: An Overview
Typically, users communicate with computers by using a mouse, a keyboard, or
a combination of the two. Users who are not keyboard-literate or mouse-savvy
can become frustrated with how long human-to-computer interactions take.
Computer literacy is learned. This is complicated by the fact that using a
keyboard or a mouse is neither intuitive nor natural for most people.
Touchscreens cut out the learning curve by eliminating keyboard/mouse
intermediaries and allowing a natural flow of information to develop between a
user and a computer.
When a user wants to access information or perform a function on a computer
with a touchscreen installed, a touch quickly and accurately does the job that
once required complicated keyboard interactions or precise mouse movements.
A frustrating experience with a computer during a transaction can create
dissatisfaction for your customer. Touchscreens help eliminate unpleasant
transactions by creating a natural flow of information that enhances your
product or service. Touchscreens speed up user/computer interactions. People
get what they want faster and are more satisfied with the process.
A-21
iTouch Touchscreens
Elo built on its IntelliTouch surface wave technology to create its iTouch
"touch-on-tube" solution. Elo eliminated the clear glass layer between the
viewer and the display.
Elo CRT iTouch monitors offer consistent features across all sizes:
• Touch directly on tube—no touchscreen overlay and no parallax
• Preserves 100 percent of CRT brightness, clarity, antireflection and color
properties
• More durable and safer than even bonded touchscreen overlays
• Same fast, accurate, stable performance as surface wave
• "Drift free" and not affected by surrounding metal or poor earths
• Dual touches are not averaged, allowing extremely fast two-handed play

CHAPTER 4
REGULATORY INFORMATION
Electrical Safety Information
A) Compliance is required with respect to the voltage, frequency, and current
requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a different
power source than those specified herein will likely result in improper operation or
damage to the equipment, or may pose a fire hazard if the limitations are exceeded.
B) There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment. This equipment
generates hazardous voltages that constitute a safety hazard. Service should be
provided only by a qualified service technician.
C) This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord that has an integral
safety ground wire and three-prong connector intended for connection to a
grounded safety outlet.
1) Do not substitute the cord with any cord other than the provided approved
type. Under no circumstances use an adapter plug to connect to a two-wire
outlet, as this will defeat the continuity of the grounding wire.
2) This equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of its safety
certification. Modification or misuse can provide a shock hazard that can
result in serious injury or death.
3) If there are any questions about the installation prior to connecting the
equipment to mains power, contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer.
Emissions and Immunity Information
A) Notice to Users in the United States: This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with Part 15 Class B of FCC Rules for digital devices. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a resi-
dential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
B) Notice to Users in Canada: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with Class B radio noise emission limits as established by the Radio
Interference Regulations of Industrie Canada for digital devices.
C) Notice to Users in the European Union: This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the Class B requirements of CE marking for Information
Technology Equipment as required by: Low Voltage Directive 73/23/ECC and
standard EN 60950; EMC Directive 89/336/ECC, and per standard EN 55022.
D) General Information to All Users: This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used according to this manual,
the equipment may cause interference with radio and television communications.
There is, however, no guarantee that interference will not occur in any particular
installation due to site-specific factors.
31
1) In order to meet emission and immunity requirements, the user must
observe the following:
a) Use only the provided I/O cables to connect this digital device with
any computer.
b) To ensure compliance, use only the provided manufacturer-approved
line cord.
c) The user is cautioned that changes or modifications to the equipment
not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
2) If this equipment appears to cause interference with radio or television
reception, or any other device:
a) Verify as an emission source by turning the equipment off and on.
b) If you determine that this equipment is causing the interference, try to
correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
i) Move the digital device away from the affected receiver.
ii) Reposition (turn) the digital device with respect to the affected
receiver.
iii) Reorient the affected receiver’s antenna.
iv) Plug the digital device into a different AC outlet so the digital
device and the receiver are on different branch circuits.
v) Disconnect and remove any I/O cables that the digital device
does not use. (Unterminated I/O cables are a potential source of
high RF emission levels.)
vi) Plug the digital device into only a grounded outlet receptacle.
Do not use AC adapter plugs. (Removing or cutting the line cord
ground may increase RF emission levels and may also present a
lethal shock hazard to the user.)
If you need additional help, consult your dealer, manufacturer, or an
experienced radio or television technician
