uSign User Manual
1.0 Introduction
The use of electronically captured signatures has become common for Point of Service
(POS) applications. Electronic signature capture reduces transaction time, eliminates
sorting & sending paper, provides convenient electronic storage & transmission, and
gives legal accountability (non-repudiation) for POS transactions.
uSign™ is an electronic signature capture device with a back lighted graphic LCD
display and touch sensitive screen that is the signature panel. Authors can view their
signatures in real time during the signing process. Signatures are compressed and
provided to a Host system for signature & data storage. The LCD display allows for
interactive text, which supports pen-tap commands and function selections. The
interactive Host operations allow selections and navigations through transactions with
just the stylus.
The LCD & touch sensitive screen are surrounded in a plastic housing. The housing
provides a tethered non-electronic stylus. The stylus is fastened to the housing in a way
to allow stylus replacement. A mounting plate secures the uSign housing to a counter
top or other mounting surface. An overlay covers and protects the signature area of the
uSign display. The overlay is removable allowing replacement if the signature area
becomes worn from stylus use. Customer specific front overlay designs are possible as
needed by an application.
There are two major uSign housing configurations. The first is a signature pad enclosed
in a stylish housing. This uSign is a POS System level product intended for signature
capture at a transaction counter. A convenient palm rest area below the signature
panel provides support during the signing process. The second configuration is an
OEM version with a smaller housing and intended for mounting to a vertical or near
vertical surface. Both products have the same internal components and operations.
