This document will explain about the Touch IPC, and is meant to be
a technical manual for people that need to install and service the
machine.
Although the Touch IPC is a standard PC running standard
Windows XP, it is important to follow the guide about how to set up
your system correctly, as incorrect settings will influence your
performance.

Page 3: Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation When you receive your Touch IPC, it will come packed in protective plastic wrapping, and with a cardboard to protect the screen. Unpacking Carefully cut open the plastic wrap around your Touch IPC and check that the screen is intact. Also check that there is a Windows XP sticker located on the side of the unit. -
Page 4: Electrical Installation
Electrical installation The touch IPC is a standard PC with all the standard connections. In addition to these standard connections, the Touch IPC has connectors that are used for printer connections and I/O related to that. Below is a schematic overview of where you should connect cables to the Touch IPC. Pinouts for the I/O connectors are found in the back of this guide. -
Page 5: Capability Of The Touch Ipc
Capability of the Touch IPC On the Touch IPC you can connect the following equipment: HP printers up to 4 pens. This can be as one of the following configurations: On SUB-D Connectors • 1 .. 4 single pens • 2 + 2 pens On SCSI connector •... -
Page 6: System Installation
System Installation First time you start your Touch IPC The TOUCH IPC is supplied with Windows XP pre-installed. Please check that there is an intact sticker on the side of your machine containing the XP licence. First time you start your machine, you will be prompted to enter the license key. This will have a format of 25 characters, in groups of 5 (like A4FKG-C839V-... - Page 7 HS Automatic has configured Windows as follows: There is an account “USER” which is loaded by default, and starts INKdraw ● The installation is multi-language-enabled. This means that you freely can choose the ● language you wish to see in Windows. There is also support for non-western scripts like Japanese, Thai, Hebrew and Arab.

Page 8: Customizing The Tipc
Customizing the TIPC There are a number of settings you may change according to how your customer will work. The typical settings are described below. Rotate the screen The monitor driver allows the screen to be rotated. By default, 0 degrees is “connectors UP” while 180 degrees is “connectors DOWN”. -
Page 9: International Support
International Support By default, English (US) Windows XP is installed on your Touch IPC. When you wish to customize the Touch IPC for use in a non-English speaking environment, there are 5 points you should consider changing. These are: ● The user interface of Windows itself (menus, dialog boxes etc) The default display for dates, month names etc ●... - Page 10 To change the language, select ”Regional and Languages” icon located on the desktop or from the Control Panel. The language setting for the desktop and Windows in General is in the second tab ”Languages”, at the bottom ”Menus and Dialogs”. Choose any language from the list, this will be the default Windows language for this user.
- Page 11 Changing your local language defaults Although Windows has now been configured to your language of choice you must still tell Windows what your locale is. A locale defines all the standards for your country, such as ● What month names and days names are How to display and format numbers ●...
- Page 12 Changing input language for INKdraw If you wish to work with INKdraw primarily in your local, non-western, language (such as Japanese, Hebrew, Thai, Arab,...) it is important that you change the Input Language to the one you use. This is needed because INKdraw is not Unicode-Compatible, and is a requirement to edit and use databases in non-western languages.
- Page 13 Keyboard Layout / Input method Finally, you can add one or more keyboard layouts (input Method). A keyboard layout decides which characters are input from your keyboard and how. Adding other than your default language here may allow you to input characters that are not otherwise available from your keyboard.
- Page 14 In the Add Input Language dialog box, click the input language and keyboard layout or Input Method Editor (IME) you want to add. Here, a German language with German keyboard is added. You should now see a language indicator in the System Tray (located at bottom right hand corner of the desktop by default) NOTE: You can switch between different input methods by pressing the left Alt + Shift keys or the...

Page 15: Service
Service Take-apart guide and what's inside Typically it is not necessary to open your Touch IPC, as there are very few user-serviceable parts inside. If you need to, please consult HS Automatic before you open your unit. The Touch IPC should be opened by removing the screws on bottom plate, which wraps around the connector side. -
Page 16: Serviceable Parts (Fuses Etc)
Serviceable parts (fuses etc) There are 2 fuses located on the CB board itself. They are type TR5 (round with 2 pins facing down). You need 1A and 4A fuses, placed as illustrated below. Page 14 Touch IPC Technical Manual... -
Page 17: Reference Section
Reference Section Default (working) BIOS settings BIOS settings are the basic settings for the PC. The settings below are the default settings for a Touch IPC, as supplied from HS Automatic. Normally you should not have to change these Before you begin you have to connect a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor, you cannot perform this operation without! (as LCD screen will be inactive without bios settings) Enter the BIOS editor: Turn on your IPC by pressing the red button on the front. -

Page 20: Encoder Connections
Encoder connections For the encoder, you can use either a single or double channel. If you have both channels connected, you need to activate “Quadrature” in the software, and divide distance / pulses by 4.

Page 22: Output Connections
Output Connections On the Touch IPC there are 2 different outputs that can be used for detection of when a message has been printed, and to give an alarm for low ink. Notice that Iout = 400mA OUTPUT1: This is always print message signal. The LED or relay will be active every time the start sensor is activated, until the message has been printed. - Page 23 OUTPUT2 : This is used to get the low ink warning. On Xaar printers, you will see a signal on the printer as well, on HP printers you can see on the monitor which cartridge is empty. Notice: Iout max = 400mA Connecting an LED 5V−...
