Touchscreen and Peripherals Driver Installation
Drivers for all supported operating systems are contained on the Preh Install Disk. To install drivers, follow the procedures below as appropriate.
Touchscreen support is provided for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP, DOS and Linux (kernels 4.2.18 and above).
The MSR and Customer Display, which are USB devices, are currently supported under Windows platforms only. Support for Linux will be provided in the future. Contact Preh TechSupport for further information.
Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP Installation:
•If you are using a USB data interface, disconnect it from the computer before proceeding. Connect the touchscreen cable if using a serial interface (MCI 15 only). Insert the disk in your drive. If AutoRun does not start the installation, double click the “Setup” program in the CDROM folder.
•Follow the instructions pertaining to your particular product configuration, and check the appropriate boxes in the “Select Features” page to install drivers for the peripherals you have. The POS demo program may be installed now or at any time in the future.
•If the installation program does not restart your computer, shut down, connect the USB cable, if used, and restart.
•After restart, the touchscreen controller and other USB devices, if present (the MSR and Customer Display), will be found by Windows and the drivers automatically installed for them.
•Find the Preh MCI Touch Monitor Settings icon on the desktop or in Control Panel and use the features under the appropriate tabs to configure the operation of the touchscreen for your application, and if necessary, to calibrate the touchscreen to the display image.
•The MSR, if present, is configured for keyboard emulation by default. It should work identically to keyboard wedge readers in all applications. Contact Preh TechSupport at techsupport@prehusa.com (Americas only) or
•The Customer Display, while hardware interfaced as a USB device, is equivalent to a serial display for programming purposes. Contact Preh Technical Support for programming information on this device.
DOS Installation:
•See specific procedures in DOS section of disk.
Linux Installation:
•See specific procedures in Linux section of disk.
•Kernels 2.4.18 and above (corresponding to RedHat Linux versions 8 and 9) are supported.
