Use at the computer

We recommend using a signature pad in HID-USB or WinUSB mode for use on a computer with a local operating system. Devices with an FTDI chip can also be used locally, but are disadvantaged in terms of performance.

Please note that software is always required in order to use a signature pad. A driver is not sufficient on its own. Please contact your software vendor or our sales team for further information on support for signature pads.

Windows 7 / Windows 10 / Windows 11

The signature pad is recognized by Windows automatically. No separate driver installation is needed, so the signature pad can be used with compatible software straight away.

Windows 8.1

If you operate the device under Windows 8.1, we recommend installing the signotec HID driver. This driver disables the (Windows) power saving feature for the signotec signature pads, which can have a negative effect on the device and could turn off the device from time to time, for example. The driver is automatically installed with all current signotec software products. Alternatively, it can be downloaded from http://en.signotec.com.
