Publication 2711PC-UM001A-EN-P - March 2009
This section provides tips on how to isolate problems with the
terminal display, touch screen, keypad, attached keyboard, or mouse.
Resolve Problems with Display
Recommended Action
Check the brightness setting on color displays. Enter Configuration mode and
select Terminal Settings>Display>Display Intensity.
Check the contrast setting on grayscale terminals. Enter Configuration mode and
select Terminal Settings>Display>Display Contrast.
Check the screen saver settings. Enter Configuration mode and select Terminal
Settings>Display>Screen Saver.
Record the message and check the startup error messages table.
Resolve Problems with Touch Screen
Recommended Action
Calibrate the touch screen. Enter Configuration mode and select Terminal
Settings>Input Devices>Touch Screen>Calibration.
The calibration requires four user screen touches. When the touches do not
converge to a satisfactory calibration, you are asked repeatedly for additional
screen touches; the calibration does not terminate.
A touch screen that does not calibrate is not present or not functioning properly.
Replace the 1000 display module or the 400 to 600 terminal.
Check the catalog number of the unit. Verify that your terminal has a touch
screen by looking at the label on the terminal.
Verify that the cursor is enabled. Enter Configuration mode and select Terminal
Settings>Input Devices>Touch Screen>Cursor.
Attach a USB mouse to check whether the problem is with the touch screen or
the application.
• If the mouse works, but the touch screen does not, the touch driver or touch
screen is not functioning properly.
• If the mouse and touch screen are not working, then the problem is with the
application.
Calibrate the touch screen. Enter Configuration mode and select Terminal
Settings>Input Devices>Touch Screen>Calibration.
