I. Initial Setup and Calibration Procedure for Touchpad Users

A.   Initial Setup of Touchpad

If you are using an IVEO Touchpad, the initial setup has already been performed for you. However, you will still need to calibrate the Touchpad as described in Section B. If for any reason your Touchpad's initial setup information is no longer recognized, you may perform the initial setup again as described below. If you are using an IVEO Touchpad Portable, continue with the initial setup below before performing calibration. 
 
Place the IVEO Touchpad or Touchpad Portable on a level, flat surface like a desk, or on your lap. The USB plug should be at the back of the touchpad, away from you.
 
Installation of all necessary software for the IVEO Touchpad and Touchpad Portable is done when the IVEO Creator Pro, Creator or Viewer is installed. Install IVEO software, making sure to check the box to install touchpad support, and then open IVEO Creator Pro, Creator or Viewer to proceed with setup, calibration and use of the IVEO Touchpad or Touchpad Portable.
 
The touchpad must be set up to work with your computer, and then the IVEO software must be calibrated so the screen image is properly positioned relative to the touchpad. These steps are VERY IMPORTANT. The application will not work properly with the touchpad until these two steps are finished.
  • In the File menu Preferences item, be sure that the box for Accessibility Mode is checked, and that fixed screen mode and Windows dialogs are selected.
  • In the Touchpad menu, select the Touchpad Settings item. When the Touchpad Settings dialog appears, choose your touchpad, either the IVEO Touchpad or the IVEO Touchpad Portable, and then select OK.
  • Be sure the IVEO touchpad initial setup pattern is in place. The touchpad is shipped with the initial setup pattern clamped into place in the upper left corner of the touchpad. If it has been removed or lost,  print a new copy using the 'Print Initial IVEO Touchpad Setup Pattern' command from the Touchpad menu.
  • Use the 'Perform Initial IVEO Touchpad Setup' item in the Touchpad menu to start the setup process. Note that the process times out ten seconds after each operation. If it times out, start over.
  • After starting the setup process, press the single dot in the lower left corner of the calibration page. After hearing a tone, keep holding down for about 3 seconds.
  • Do the same press and hold process on the double dot in the upper right-hand corner,
  • Do the same press and hold process on the triple dot in the upper left corner.
  • IVEO Touchpad only: Do the same press and hold process on the four dots in the center of the page.
  • A window should now pop up to tell you that the setup is finished. Click 'OK'.
Once the touchpad has been set up, it should never need it again on that computer. 


B.   Calibration of Touchpad

The final step is to calibrate the screen image to the touchpad.  This calibration should also need to be done only once.
  • Replace the initial setup pattern with one of the maps that was included with the touchpad. If you no longer have a map, print a new copy by opening a sample map file in IVEO Creator Pro, Creator or Viewer and then using the Print command from the File menu. Open the touchpad clamp and place the map in the upper left corner of the touchpad, then close the clamp to hold the paper. 
  • Press Ctrl+U or go to the Touchpad menu and select 'Calibrate from Current Image'.
  • IVEO will say, "Touch top left corner of the image." Touch the top left point of the embossed corner on the top left (Note, this embossed corner is below the row of boxes). IVEO will say, "Press space to confirm." If you touched the wrong place, continue touching until you believe you have touched the correct point and then press the space bar.
  • You will then be prompted to "Touch the bottom right corner of the image." Touch the bottom right point of the embossed corner and when you have touched the correct place, confirm by pressing the space bar. 
Your touchpad and IVEO Creator Pro, Creator or Viewer should now be calibrated.
