CARE OF YOUR DIGITIZER
ROLL-UP III’S
Note:
Roll-Up III technology provides outstanding portability and
reliability, however the Roll-Up III does not operate reliably with
documents printed with conductive inks. Blueprints and copies
typically do not contain any conductive ink; however some inkjet
printers may use black conductive inks. For these types of
documents, we recommend the Super L IV digitizer, which is not
affected by conductive inks. Another option is to use a dye-based
ink instead.
How should I clean
my Roll-Up Tablet?
The digitizer should be kept clean and
dry. Clean the digitizer with a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water.
Do not pour solution directly on the digitizer; wipe clean with damp
cloth.
What surface should
I use with my Roll-UP?
Roll-Up Digitizers
require a surface under the entire digitizer. Measurement of
the digitizer is based on the footprint area, not the active
digitizer area. The footprint measurement is the total area of the
digitizer which is always more than the digitizing area. Never
allow your roll-up to hang over a surface.
How can I avoid
“Dead Spot” areas on my Roll-Up?
Pencil Marks.
Pencil marks contain graphite. Graphite is a conductor and will
interfere with proper functioning of the digitizer. Erase any pencil
marks from the tablet. If the plans or paper resting on the tablet
have pencil marks, remove the plans and see if this action corrects
the problem.
Objects in
contact with the digitizer.
Be sure there are no metal objects (such as staples) on or below the
digitizer. A Roll-Up cannot be used effectively on a metal surface.
Be sure there are no electronic devices (such as a monitor, phone,
radio, or even a keyboard) on the digitizer tablet because these
devices can cause interference.
Dirt or film
build up.
The digitizer should be clean and dry.
Static
electricity.
Try to ground yourself before using the digitizer. If the air is
very dry, try using a humidifier. An anti-static air spray and/or
grounding floor mat may also help. Clothing made of synthetic fabric
also creates a lot of static electricity. If static is a problem,
you may want to minimize how much synthetic material you are
wearing.
Cuts or slices
in the tablet.
Cuts or slices in the tablet may result in dead spots. If you
believe your tablet is damaged in this way, call GTCO Technical
Support.
SUPER L TABLET’S
How should I clean
my Digitizer Tablet?
You can use
Windex and a cloth to clean the surface of the tablet. DO NOT FLOOD
THE TABLET WITH CLEANING SOLUTION. Excess fluid may enter the
tablet, shorting out the components.
