OMAX Touch

OMAX Touch activates an on-screen keyboard and provides a right-click mouse function for touch-screen users. It is designed to assist touch-screen users with tasks that require a right-click mouse operation, or if they need access to the Windows on-screen keyboard.

NOTE:

This utility is only rquired for certain touch paradigms. Because some touch screen devices follow different paradigms, this utility may not be needed.

To activate Touch:

To open the Touch pop-up window, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\OMAX Corporation\OMAX_LAYOUT_and_MAKE, then double-click on OMAX_Touch_Assist.
