Touch Mode of Operation

There are three modes of touch operation available. The desired mode is dependent on the type of application being used.

Normal Mode: This mode compares to normal mouse operation. The selection is made when the item on the screen is touched and activated when double-touched. Multiple items can be selected by touching and dragging your finger to another location, forming a rectangular box to encompass the items.

Touch Down Mode: The selection activates immediately when the screen is touched. This mode is popular in Convenience Store environments, where quick operation is demanding.

Touch Lift Off Mode: The selection activates when the finger is removed from the screen. This mode is preferred in environments where the operator prefers to slide their finger around on the screen until the item is located and then remove their finger to make the selection.
