Software installation
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL SIGPLUS SOFTWARE IF YOU
ARE AN END-USER AND HAVE RECEIVED A SIGNATURE CAPTURE
APPLICATION PROGRAM FROM YOUR COMPANY.
The SigPlus electronic signature software allows for versatile signature-
capture operation with Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or XP. To install the
SigPlus ActiveX software suite, run “sigplus.exe,” provided on the en-
closed Topaz Software CD. All updates are available for download at no
charge from www.topazsystems.com. During installation, you will be asked to
select the tablet type (tablet model= ‘SigLite 1X5’) and USB port you will
connect your tablet to.
Topaz offers a wide range of bundled software, all of which is capable of
capturing signatures and storing them as encrypted and bound electronic
signatures, image files, image-free Topaz forensic “.sig” files.
Dozens of unique software plug-ins, demos, and developer tools and
source examples are available for download on the Topaz website (http://
www.topazsystems.com/Software/).

Using the Tablet
To sign, use the supplied plastic pen stylus to write directly on the sig-
nature sensor’s surface. Signatures are not stored in the SigLite tablet,
but are captured by software on the computer. Therefore, the fact that
a signature has been made does not guarantee the signature has been
captured. In order to capture signatures on the computer, be sure that
SigPlus or other Topaz-compatible end-user software is running and the
tablet is connected to the correct USB port, as specified under the head-
ing “Software Installation” on the facing page.
To test your fully installed tablet, run DemoOCX.exe, found as a shortcut
on your desktop or in folder WIN\SigPlus\. After booting the program,
click the “START” button and sign using the tablet. If a signature does
not appear in the DemoOCX window, double-check that the cables are
connected properly and the tablet settings are correct.
Since SigLite is based on pressure-sensitive technology, make certain
that you do not apply excessive pressure when signing or risk damaging
the tablet permanently. Although the sensor will register pressure from
any object such as a fingertip or pencil, please sign using the supplied
plastic pen stylus ONLY, and refrain from bringing any foreign obeject
into contact with the sensor surface or risk tablet damage. If the sensor
membrane surface is cut, scratched, or otherwise harmed the tablet’s
performance will suffer and it may fail completely.
Do not attempt to capture a signature through a sheet or pad of pa-
per. The stylus must come into direct contact in order to function. Any
intermediate object will cause an inaccurate signature or require more
pressure than is acceptable within the sensor’s specifications. Do not
sign with standard inking-tipped pens.
If you desire to capture electronic sigantures while signing a paper form
with ink, you may consider using Topaz Gem-series tablets with ink-
tipped active pens and digitizing tablets specially designed for such a
purpose.
