Touch
IPC
Technical Manual
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.
For information about how to customize INKdraw, please see
INKdraw manual.

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.
Mechanical installation
The Touch IPC can be mounted using threads in the sides. Optionally you can order a bracket that
will fit the Rose+Krieger system. Please see page 23 (drawings)
To mount in the side, use a 6 mm screw, metric thread.
The maximum length of thread to go inside the Touch IPC is 15mm.
It is recommended NOT to use larger screws than 6 x 16.
If you use a longer screw, you will damage electronics inside.

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-... ).
HS Automatic supplies an OEM version of Windows XP. This means that
Windows has been pre-installed for you, and you do not get a CD or
manual from Microsoft.
For performance reasons, the firewall and automatic update has been
disabled on the TIPC.
It is not recommended that you have direct internet access on a
Touch IPC used in an production environment. The settings below are
for PRINTING need in a factory, NOT for Internet access on a public
terminal. Likewise, there are NOT set up any restrictions for the
default user account.
If you need direct internet access, please consult a guide on how to secure
Windows XP and download Windows update.

Touch IPC Technical Manual

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.
●The hard drive will, for efficiency reasons, be split up in 3 partitions:
cC: Main Windows partition
cD: Swap drive for temporary storage
cE: Room for applications / Storage
●INKdraw has been setup with default directories search path
cINK files: {install}\files
e:\inkdraw\files
cGraphics {install}\logo
e:\inkdraw\logo
e:\graphics
cDatabase {install}\database
e:\inkdraw\database
●There is installed a freeware application “Click-N-Type” that allows you to activate an on-
screen keyboard. Although Microsoft does have this function already, the alternative
keyboard can be re-designed to your own specifications.

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”.
In the lower right part of the screen
there is a yellow icon with the text
”S3”.
Click on this icon with the mouse.
Then select ”Rotation” and the way
you wish to rotate the screen.
You will be asked to calibrate the
screen (simply point to a dot) to
change mouse orientation also.
Calibrate the touch interface
Should the touch interface become inaccurate, you can carry out a manual recalibration. Usually a
“standard” calibration is enough.
Click on the icon ”PM” in the lower
right corner and choose ”Control
Panel”.
Select tab for ”Calibrate” and click
”Standard Calibration”.
Click on the red dots as requested.
It is recommended to use a stylus
during this process, for improved
accuracy.
In the same menu, there are a number of settings / features related to the touch interface. They will
not be described here, but are quite self-explanatory.

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
●The input language (what character set you mainly use)
●The keyboard layout(s).
●The menus in INKdraw (not covered here, please see INKdraw manual)
Change the Windows user interface language
As part of the Windows XP installation, HS Automatic has installed a number of user interface
languages. This allows every user on the PC to see Windows in their own, local language. Notice
that the language settings of Windows can be done per user. So you can have users that have
French while others have German – etc.
HS Automatic installs the following languages by default:
●English
●Danish
●Czech
●Russian
●Greek
●Hungarian
●Polish
●Portugese
●Turkish
●French
●German
●Japanese
●Arab
●Dutch
●Italian
●Spanish
If you need support for other languages / language groups, please contact HS Automatic. It
may be possible to install your language also.

Touch IPC Technical Manual
Page 8
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.
Notice that you must log out and log
in again to activate the new
language.

Touch IPC Technical Manual
Page 9
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
●How a “short” and “long” date is printed
It is important to know that
1. A locale is independent of your setting in “menus and dialogs” above
2. INKdraw is using the settings from the locale to display date and time.
Locale (Standards and formats) is
set in the first tab. You can choose a
pre-defined region or customize the
existing.
The ”Location” below in this window
is only used in Microsoft services
and has no relevance for the TIPC.

Page 10
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.
Do so by – again – going into settings for regional and language.
On the final tab “Advanced” you can
select “Language for non-Unicode
programs”.
Choose your input format here.
Windows may ask you if you wish to
use the files already installed, just
answer “Yes” to this.

Touch IPC Technical Manual
Page 11
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.
HS Automatic has, as part of the Touch IPC installation, included support for non-western
languages. If you select one of these, you will be able to use the Microsoft on-screen keyboard
(Microsoft Input Method), by which you can type f.ex. japanese.
To change the keyboard click “Details” in the second
tab “Languages”.
Under Installed Services, click "Add..."
In the illustration here, there is already support for
●US English (default)
●French / France
●Italian / Italy

Touch IPC Technical Manual
Page 12
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
right Alt + Shift keys. You can also have the language indicator appear as a small bar on your
screen.

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. Carefully open the unit with the monitor upwards and connectors towards
yourself. The unit opens as if there was a hinge. Take great care not to remove the monitor from
the main unit, as there are cables going from the main board to the monitor.
