Installing the Driver Software
Elo TouchSystems provides driver software that allows your touchmonitor to work with
your computer. Drivers are located on the enclosed CD-ROM for the following operating
systems:
Windows 2000
Windows 98
Windows 95
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 3.x
MS-DOS 2.x or later
Additional drivers and driver information for other operating systems (including OS/2,
Macintosh and Linux) are available on the Elo TouchSystems web site at
www.elotouch.com.
Your Elo touchmonitor is plug-and-play compliant. Information on the video capabilities of
your touchmonitor is sent to your video display adapter when Windows starts. If Windows
detects your touchmonitor, follow the instructions on the screen to install a generic plug-
and-play monitor.
Installing the Serial Touch Driver for Windows 2000, 95/98
and NT 4.0
Note: For Windows 2000 and NT 4.0 you must have administrator access
rights to install the driver.
1. Insert the Elo CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2. If the AutoStart feature for your CD-ROM drive is active, the system
automatically detects the CD and starts the setup program.
Follow the directions on the screen to complete the driver setup for your
version of Windows.
3. If the AutoStart feature is not active:
Click Start > Run.

Installing the Serial Touch Driver for MS-DOS and Windows
3.1
1. Insert the Elo CD-ROM in your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2. From DOS, type d:\EloDW 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.
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:\EloDW 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.
4. If you are updating your software, you may wish to specify the paths
containing the earlier versions, and overwrite the obsolete files. All exe-
cutable 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.
5. 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.
6. When INSTALL is finished, it leaves a file called GO.BAT in the subdi-
rectory you specified. GO loads the touchscreen driver, runs the calibra-
tion program ELOCALIB, and gives you some final instructions.
7. If you are using Windows 3.1, you will also align the touchscreen within
Windows 3.1 with the Touchscreen Control Panel.

About Touchmonitor Adjustments
Your touchmonitor will likely require adjustment. Variations in video output and
application will require you to adjust your touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the
display.
For best performance, your monitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1280 x
1024 @ 60 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further information,
please refer to Appendix A.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized. This feature
saves you from having to reset your choices every time you unplug or power your
touchmonitor off and on. If there is a power failure your touchmonitor settings will not
default to the factory specifications.
Using the On-Screen Display Menus
All adjustments are made by using the on-screen display (OSD) menus. All menu items
can be selected by using the buttons on the side bezel.
The user controls are labeled and are mounted on the front of the touchmonitor for all
Desktop models.
Panel Mount and Chassis Mount touchmonitors have user controls that are labeled and
located at the rear of the unit.
