This document is meant to provide instructions for manually installing the SigPlus 4.4.0.16 (or newer) ActiveX control. SigPlus supports the following operating systems:
Windows 2003
Windows Vista
Windows 2008
Windows 7
Windows 8

Included in the zip file are the required files from Topaz Systems.

Additionally, before any Topaz SigPlus dependencies may be placed on the target computer, the TopazLicense.txt file must be presented to the user, and the user must agree to the terms. Without this step, you are not permitted to use SigPlus on the target computer. Topaz does offer a silent installer for SigPlus you may use, if you do not have a means to present the license to the TopazLicense.txt file to the user. Please contact Topaz Systems Support for details and instructions. The silent installer will include the license presentation to the user.





PRE-INSTALL REQUIREMENT STEPS

1. Unregister of the previous SigPlus.ocx file, if it already exists on the target computer. You can use regsvr32.exe for this, if you wish. Take these steps:
   a. Click on Start>Run, or open a command line and CD to the root C:

   b. Type in:
   regsvr32 C:\Windows\SigPlus\SigPlus.ocx /u

   c. Click OK (or Enter), and make sure the resulting message indicates 'unregister successful'

   d. If the message does not indicate success, check the path to the SigPlus.ocx and try again


You may also unregister the SigPlus.ocx by any means available to you, of course. However, please note that this is a critical step and must be performed.




2. There are two VC++ runtime files that SigPlus is dependent upon:
mfc100.dll
msvcr100.dll

You can simply place these on the target computer and register them (the suggested location is Windows\System32 (for a 32-bit target computer) or Windows\SysWOW64 (for a 64-bit target computer)

Alternately, you can install the latest VC++ 2010 redistributable to the target computer (or include the appropriate merge module). For this document, we will include details on installing the redistributable. The current VC++ 2010 redistributable (as of April 2014) is:
    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=5555


Run this installer as part of the installation.





3. You can now place the required SigPlus dependencies from Topaz, as follows:

    SIGPLUS.OCX (doesn't matter location, but register OCX, using a utility such as regsvr32, or whatever means you prefer)
    SIGPLUS.INI (must be saved in target computer's Windows directory)
    TOPAZLICENSE.TXT (must be saved in same location as SigPlus.ocx. This file must be included to be in compliance with the license)

To use regsvr32.exe to register SigPlus, you can take these steps (after placing the SigPlus.ocx in the appropriate folder. This example assumes the folder is C:\Windows\SigPlus):
   a. Click on Start>Run, or open a command line and CD to the root C:

   b. Type in:
   regsvr32 C:\Windows\SigPlus\SigPlus.ocx

   c. Click OK (or Enter), and make sure the resulting message indicates 'register successful'

   d. If the message does not indicate success, check the path to the SigPlus.ocx and try again









The SIGPLUS.INI FILE: USED TO MANAGE CONFIGURATION FOR THE HARDWARE

Finally, it is critical that the SigPlus.ini file be set up for the signature pad in question, meaning the TabletModel parameter must reflect the signature pad in question, and the TabletType must reflect the proper connection for the signature pad in question. The following TabletType values can be used:

Topaz 9-pin serial pad ("-B" or "-BHSB") use TabletType=0
(if you are using a 9-pin serial pad, be sure to also set the TabletComPort value to the com port of choice)

Topaz HID USB (-HSB") pads use TabletType=6

The following TabletModel options can be used, and the list includes the appropriate tablet model number, and the INI equivalent. Note that there are two sections. For pads in section 1, use the SigPlus.ini file from the SigPlusINIStandard.zip file, and for pads in section 2, use the SigPlus.ini file from the SigPlusINISE.zip file.

Note that for these two models:
T-LBK57GC			    SigGemColor57
T-LBK43LC			    SigLiteColor43

you will need to change the following parameter to '1' in the SigPlus.ini file before using the INI file:
LCDZCompression=1
