11.5.3. Check the normality of touch panel
Before replacement of touch panel, check the normality of touch panel following the flow
chart in Chapter 5 (5. MALFUNCTION OF THE TOUCH PANEL).
If touch panel is out of order, calibration and check is needed.
11.5.4. Setting-Limitation
Setting:
Before starting check and calibration
- Connect PC and LL-S201A with USB and HDMI cable(or DP cable),
- Set LL-201A to primary display or set multi display mode to duplicate or external
only, if LL-S201A is connected as an external display.
- If using touch position correction of Windows, reset the adjusted value before
checking pen touch accuracy.
Limitation:
- In using touch pen, pen-writing with a hand on the screen is allowed.
But at a point near from the area attached the hand, pen-writing may fail.
- In pen-writing, stand a pen perpendicularly on the touch panel.
- In finger-writing, it may be unable to draw normally when pushing strongly with the
inside of a finger.
11.5.5. Check Pen Touch Accuracy
[PROCEDURE]
(1) Start Check tool
Click "TPC Adjustment" button on the tool for serviceman to start check tool.
A gray cross and red and blue parallel lines are shown on the screen.
Check whether touch position gap is settled in tolerance level according to the following
procedure.
2mm
Zoom
2mm
(2) With a touch pen, touch the center of the cross and check whether the touch position
gap is settled in tolerance level.
Because of the gap between pen tip and surface of LCD panel (glass and air gaps),
a gap may arise between an actual touch position and a virtual position which is
recognized as touch position by eyes.
So, divide into gap of X-axis and Y-axis, and do check work.
1) Check the gap of X-axis component.
Touch the center of gray cross with touch pen perpendicularly stood to the touch panel.
It is "OK", if the touched point is settled between red parallel lines.
2) Check the gap of Y-axis component.
See from the direction rotated 90 degrees and check whether touch position is settled
between blue parallel lines.
※To clear all drawn lines, press "C" key.
(3)End check tool
Press "ESC" key to end the tool.
(4)Confirm the result of Pen Touch Accuracy Check
Click “ Yes” button, if passing the test of X and Y-axis gap.
-> go to Drawing Check
Click “No” button, if failing the test of X or Y-axis gap.
-> go to Calibration Touch Position
Click “Cancel” button, to quit TC Adjustment.
[OK and NG Example (When in X gap check)]
OK

11.5.6. Calibration Touch Position
Limitation:
- Windows cannot recognize touch event during calibration. So, during calibration, use
another pointing device such as mouse.
- A keyboard is required, to press ESC key in calibration.
[PROCEDURE]
(1) Before starting calibration, check rotation function is not active.
(2) Start Calibration Touch Position Tool
Click "OK" button on the soft for serviceman to start the calibration tool.
(3) Click “Start” button to start calibration. A red cross is displayed at the upper-left
corner of screen.

red cross is changed from red to green and next red cross is displayed.
are displayed in all.
Nine red crosses
Push ESC key with keyboard to go back to the previous cross.
If the center of cross is not touched properly and the color of cross is not changed and
error message is displayed, close message window by mouse or keyboard, and try again.
Even if the center of cross is not touched properly but the color of cross is changed red to
green, push ESC key to try again.
(5) Repeat Step (4) from 1 to 9, and calibration parameter will be written automatically.
(6) Confirm the message “write OK” and click “End” button.
-> go to Check Pen Touch Accuracy
11.5.7. Drawing Check
[PROCEDURE]
