Controller and Driver Manual for Magic Touch Screens

1. USB-XD controller (Win Vista, XP, 2000, ME, 98, Mac 9.2.2-10.5.x, Linux.)

 If there is a previous Magic Touch driver or other touch screen’s driver installed in your system, uninstall them first.
 All Windows and Linux drivers are included on one CD, or they can be downloaded for free (except Mac version).  Windows 2000 and XP Multi Monitor setup and examples are under the folder MultiMonitor 2K-XP.  Mac driver CD is included only if you have ordered Mac version (USB-M or USB-WM). 

Mac user: please see Sec. 1.3. for instructions.
Linux user: please see readme file in Linux folder for setup instructions.

1.1. For Windows: (Must logon with administrator’s password for Vista/XP/2000)

1.1.1. Vista: If you prefer to use Vista’s embedded tablet driver, DO NOT install Magic Touch driver from the CD. If you have already installed it, you must uninstall it first. Plug in the USB controller, Windows will find new hardware. The screen should respond to your touch, but the position may not be accurate. If you use ProE controller, plug in the controller before the computer is turned on.
1.1.2. Calibrate Vista tablet driver:
1.1.2.1. Right click the desktop, select “New>Shortcut”.
1.1.2.2. In the field “Type the location of the item”, key in the following phrase: %windir%\system32\tabcal.exe NoValidate, then click next. Note: it is important to key in the exactly same phrase with space after tabcal.exe, and make sure that the ‘N’ and the ‘V’ are capitalized, and that there is no space between ‘No’ and ‘Validate”.
1.1.2.3. In next window, click “Finish”, and you will now have a shortcut on your desktop labeled “tabcal.exe”
1.1.2.4. To calibrate, you can click and run the tabcal shortcut on the desktop to launch the calibration utility. Use the stylus supplied to perform calibration for better accuracy. Touch the center of the cross and release. Do not hold. Complete the 4-point calibration. Recalibrate if necessary.

1.2. Install Magic Touch driver on Windows OS:

3. Settings and Options of Magic Touch Control Panel (Windows version):

3.1. Mouse speed: Control the tracking speed of mouse cursor.
3.2. Double click speed: Control the time interval between two clicks to activate a double click. Slow speed makes double click easier. Test the double click by tapping the K logo twice. If successful, the logo rotates.
3.3. Lift Off: When this option is enabled, the click is activated when touch is lifted away from the touch screen. This mode is very useful for clicking hyperlinks, such as Internet browser, or programs that use “mouse-over” function. However, it is impossible to drag or draw in this mode. (available in Mac version)
3.4. Beep: Enable/disable an audible beep when a touch is sensed. Customize the beep’s pitch and duration under ‘Beep Options.’
3.5. Move only: Touching and dragging moves the mouse cursor without performing a click. This is only for an optional click pen (currently unavailable).
3.6. Hide cursor: Makes the cursor invisible (preferred for some applications).
3.7. Uninstall: Click to uninstall the driver. Correct password needed. (magictouch is the default password).
3.8. Default setting: Return the speeds and options to the original settings.

4. Touch screen functions:

4.1. Screen touched = left mouse button clicked
4.2. Touch down and drag = left mouse button held down and dragged
4.3. Tap twice = left mouse button double clicked
4.4. Swap Button: Select ‘once’ to right-click on next touch only, or ‘always’ to right-click on every touch. Select minimize to reduce to system tray as a shortcut.

5. Helpful Notes:

5.1. Place the monitor at an easy-to-touch position and avoid direct strong lighting to reduce glare on the screen.
5.2. It is easier to use the stylus for clicking smaller icons; dragging and drawing (apply constant pressure when drawing).
5.3. Make one-point touch only. Do not lean your hand on the screen or touch it with more than one finger or stylus.
5.4. Increase the size of icon and menu bar for easy touch.
5.5. If double-click is difficult, change to single click in ‘Tools\Folder Options’.
