Stylus
The terminal uses a resistant type sensitive glass, for this type
of glass to function correctly requires a calibration procedure
(the terminal is supplied already calibrated), meaning the re-
sistant area of the glass must be suitable to the visual area of
the display.
If it is necessary to repeat the calibration procedure, it is pos-
sible to do so by following the instructions below.

The procedure requires great attention because the precision

of the keys' area depends from the calibration.

From the control panel click on the stylus icon and, subse-
quently, the following screens are displayed on the recalibrate
key. Touch the screen near the crosses that appear :

Finally by clicking on ok calibration is confirmed.
