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 conguration, 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 congure the operation of the touchscreen for
your application, and if necessary, to calibrate the touchscreen to the display image.
The MSR, if present, is congured 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 support@preh-keytec.de if this format is
not suitable for your application.
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 specic procedures in DOS section of disk.
Linux Installation:
See specic procedures in Linux section of disk.
Kernels 2.4.18 and above (corresponding to RedHat Linux versions 8 and 9) are
supported.
Source code is available on request.
