EPad Overview

The EPad companion product captures point-of-sale (POS) signatures electronically and attaches them to the appropriate invoices. EPad consists of EPad Signature Capture devices attached to your sales counter terminals and Eclipse Electronic Signature Capture application installed on those same terminals.

The EPad process for capturing signatures at your sales counters is simple:

Capture signatures on an EPad Signature Capture device.
Attach signatures to their appropriate invoices through a click of a button on the Eclipse Electronic Signature Capture window.
View, print, fax, or e-mail signatures from their invoices on the Solar Eclipse system.
Replicate signatures from the sales counter terminal to the network host, which permanently stores the signatures, as needed.

Maintain your EPad system by deleting old signatures from their temporary storage locations to keep sales counter terminals from becoming overloaded, as needed.

Note: For information about replicating and deleting signatures, see Signature Capture and Document Imaging Guidelines in the Signature Capture Suite documentation.

EPad leaves you with a paper-free environment so you no longer need to spend time filing or searching for signed invoices, or run the risk of losing paper-based sales order signatures.

Before using EPad, make sure to complete all setup tasks.
