Status LED
There is a two-colour status LED on the front of the signature pad:
Orange light
The device is in standby or display mode.
Green light
The device is in capture mode and can capture a signature.
Note:
These specifications correspond to the standard behaviour of the LED. You can use
the API to individually control the LED, which means it may display a different behaviour.
Please contact your software manufacturer in this case.

Software
The installation of drivers alone does not indicate that all device functions will be enabled. To use
the signature pad, you also need software that provides communication with the device. You can
use the signotec standard software products if you do not have software that supports the signotec
signature pad. Please refer to
for an overview of signotec products.
Tip:
We recommend using the signoSign/2 software for a legally compliant and legally
admissible signature for PDF documents.

Accessing the service menu
Disconnect the pad from the power supply to access the service menu
of the unit. Touch the
upper right corner
of the display with the pen.
While holding the pen, reconnect the pad to the power supply. After
rebooting, the LED lights up orange and the service menu is launched.
You can navigate the menu using the supplied pen.
Tip:
As an alternative, you can also access the service menu
with API methods or the signoSign/2 application software.

Switching modes
The operating mode can be switched between USB and vCOM
for signotec Gamma signature pads featuring an integrated
USB-to-serial converter (FTDI). To do so, there are two buttons
in the service menu. By selecting the operating mode and then
confirming with OK, the pad restarts in the desired mode.
Note:
Devices featuring an integrated USB-to-serial
converter are shipped in vCOM mode by default.
