2.2.2 Special installations
Special installation conditions for the handwriting device are the same as for the plasma display. Refer to “Special
Installation” in the Technical Manual of the plasma display.
¶ Calculate the distance between the monitor and surroundings (wall, etc.) based on the maximum dimensions of the
scan device.
¶ The handwriting device can be tilted in the range between horizontal, upward-facing position and the 25° downward-
facing position. The following cautions are required in its installation.
Facing upward
¶ When the handwriting device is installed horizontally so that it faces upward, the user may tend to rest a hand on or
lean against the handwriting device frame. As imposing a weight on the frame may deform it, cause malfunction or
damage it, it is required to prevent it using a guard, etc. If you install a guard, however, you need to take ventilation of
the plasma display monitor in consideration.
¶ When the handwriting device is tilted, the user should watch the screen obliquely and, in this case, the position of the
pen tip and that of the displayed pointer may look deviated. Note that the calibration in the detailed setting mode of
the driver cannot be adjusted correctly unless it is performed from the actual direction of the user’s view. The
adjustment may sometimes be easier when it is performed in simplified setting rather than in the detailed setting
mode.
¶ When the handwriting device is installed horizontally so that it faces upward, the risk of causing damage or
malfunction by dropping a foreign object on the screen increases. The foreign object may for example include a liquid
(juice, coffee, detergent, etc.) spilt on it, the hem of the user’s necktie or shirt in contact with it, and dust that may
cause sensor malfunction. Also, someone may use the horizontal screen in place of a table. Always take their
prevention in consideration when installing the handwriting device horizontally.
