2.2 Touch Panel specifications
2.2.1 When replacing GP-2601T/2501T/2500S/2500L
For replacing GP-2601T/2501T/2500S/2500L with GP-4601T/4501T, you can
select the Matrix type (2-point touch input at the same time) or the Analog
Resistive Film type (1-point touch input) for Touch Panel Type.
For the Analog Resistive Film type, if you touch two points at the same time, only
the first touched point is recognized, but the second touched one is not.
If you use the Analog Resistive Film type, change to 1-point touch input setting
using the switch delay function of GP-Pro EX.
There’s a model number difference between the Analog Resistive Film type and the
Matrix type. For details, see GP4000 Series Model Number.
2.2.2 When replacing GP-2501S/L
GP-4501TW adopts the Analog Resistive Film type.
For the Analog Resistive Film type, even if you touch two points at the same time,
it’s recognized that the coordinates located between these two points are touched.
If you have used the 2-point touch input on GP-2501S/L, change to the 1-point
touch input setting using the switch delay function of GP-Pro EX.
If you use the Matrix type that enables 2-point touch input at the same time, you
can replace GP-2501S/L with GP-4501T.
There’s a model number difference between the Analog Resistive Film type and the
Matrix type. For details, see GP4000 Series Model Number.
2.3 Display Colors (for GP-2500L and GP-2501L only)
The display type of GP-2500L/2501L is a monochrome LCD, but GP4000 series has a
TFT color LCD. After replacement, the 2-color display changes to the color one.
When data of a monochrome model are converted to data of a color model with GP-Pro
EX, the converted data may be displayed in colors except black and white depending
on a setting of GP-PRO/PBIII. After conversion, please confirm the display colors of
the drawing or the parts on the screens just in case.
