Signature Pad Integration
On this page
Before you start
- A SunHardware property of the same owner, linked in Hardware Setting (licence SunHardware Integration, see Licences).
How to let the guest sign the registration card
- Install the SunHW Integration Utility on the front-desk computer and add it as a Windows station in SunHardware > Devices; the signature pad attached to it is set there too (the station decides which amount its pad shows).
- In the PMS open Property Setup > Hardware Setting and link this hotel to the SunHardware property (see Hardware Setting).
- In check-in or group check-in use Sign: the registration card and agreements are signed on the station's signature pad, or on a paired tablet. A signature also satisfies Sign Mandatory at check-in in Guest Mandatory Data.
What happens behind the scenes
- The PMS does not store scanner, signature pad or door lock devices any more. Device Configuration lists only card payment devices.
- Check-in, group check-in and Add Document offer the SunHardware actions (Scan ID, Sign, Make key card) once the link in Hardware Setting is connected; they use the stations, phones and tablets of the linked SunHardware property.
Tips and FAQ
- Q: Where did my old scanner / signature pad / door lock entries go? A: The PMS no longer shows them. In SunHardware > Door locks use Import from SunPMS to bring the door lock setup across; stations and their attached devices are added in SunHardware > Devices.
- Q: The Scan ID, Sign or Make key button is missing in check-in. A: Hardware Setting is not connected, or the licence is missing. See Hardware Setting.
