NOTE:  All Compatible Hardware testing has been performed on 32-bit operating systems unless indicated otherwise.

This site details the results of ImageWare's hardware compatibility testing. These results are not intended as an endorsement or recommendation of a specific unit, but rather as an impartial report on how a unit operates with ImageWare's EPI Suite and/or EPI Builder product line.

It is recommended that you review all the information accessible from this page to determine if you can use the unit for your specific purposes.

Note regarding the legend:
A unit recorded as "compatible" may have negligible issues that do not affect a majority of clients but may impact your specific installation. Similarly, problems associated with a unit that has a "Note" status may be used if you are not planning to use the specific feature that has been noted.

After installing Windows 2000 the serial ePad no longer works. Please go to the Windows control panel, "Add/Remove Program" and remove the ePad driver, then reboot your computer. Download the newest epad3_0 driver. Save it to your hard drive, then double-click the self-extracting zip file. Then run Setup.exe. After it is finished installing files, it will ask you to restart your computer. This signature pad requires the user to download and authorize the ePad-Ink Signature Plug-in. This can be downloaded on the EPI Suite or EPI Builder Support page. Use the Universal Installer 6.24, found at http://www.epadsupport.com/?q=node/9.

For proper signature capture, the following settings must be done or you will get an error message stating "Error: The Parameter is incorrect". All settings required are accessible from two dialogue boxes referred below. The dialog boxes are standard UI available with the SDK. For simplicity, we show how they are accessed from the sample applications available with the SDK tool kit. 1- From the “Image type manager” dialogue box: under Image \ setup image types, select “signature” click on “edit” and select the “aspect ratio & thumbnail” tab. There you will enable the option “constrain image shape to the following aspect ratio when performing cropping”. 2- From the “Capture profile properties” dialog box: under Image \ select capture profile \ signature, then select“ signature pad”, click on “properties” and make sure these two settings are not checked: “perform automatic enhancements” and “perform automatic cropping” features. Failure note:   Installing this driver on NT will cause all 16-bit applications to stop working and prevent NT from working properly.
