  1. Download Executable File and Install: Download the SigPlusExt application to your device.
  2. Add Browser Extensions:
    1. Chrome Extension: Add the Topaz SigPlusExtLite Chrome Extension from the Chrome Webstore. Click on “Add to Chrome”.
    2. Mozilla Firefox: Add the Topaz SigPlusExtLite Firefox Extension from the Firefox Add-Ons. Click on “Okay, Got it”
    3. Microsoft Edge: Add the Topaz SigPlusExtLite Microsoft Edge (Chromium) Extension from the Chrome Webstore. Click on “Add to Chrome”.
  3. Download Executable File: Download the SigPlus Software to your device.

  5. Connect the pad: Connect your Topaz pad to your laptop USB port.
  6. Successful Installation: Click the link to check if the installation is successful

2. Enable Topaz Signature Pad on EZRentOut

Once you have your hardware and corresponding files installed, enable the Topaz Add On from your EZRentOut account. Go to Settings → Add Ons → Enable Topaz Signature Pad Integration.

3. Capture electronic signature for your invoices

So far, you can only add signatures to invoices via the Topaz signature pad. To do so, go to More → Printout templates → Order and create a new Invoice template or edit a previous one.

Click ‘+Add’ in the Details After Line Items section of the template.

Choose ‘Signature Pad’ from the dialog box that appears.

Once you’ve done that, click on the Signature Pad option that appears in the template. This allows you to customize the signature pad as you require. You can also choose to make the signature mandatory. This means you must provide a signature on all future invoices.

Don’t forget to do is scroll down and hit the ‘Update’ button to save your template.

Now, whenever you create an invoice using this template, you’ll have to draw the signature using the Topaz signature pad. To begin, click on the ‘Draw’ button as shown below:

This will open up another dialog to capture your signature. Time to register your signatures on the pad! Once you’ve drawn your signatures, click the green tick at the top-right. You can now safely save and download the invoice as you wish.

4. Alerts to watch out for while signing

While capturing your electronic signature, a couple of alerts might appear. Here, we’ll go over some common alerts and why they appear.

Alert 1: Clicking on Draw multiple times

If you click on the ‘Draw’ button more than once, an alert will appear that says:

SigCapture failed to start, another instance already running.

The Topaz pad might take a while to open but try to only click the ‘Draw’ button once. Multiple instances cannot run at the same time.

Alert 2: Clicking on an empty drawing space

If you click on the drawing space, the following alert will appear:

Please click draw button to capture signature using Topaz signature pad.

If you’re capturing your signature with the Topaz signature pad, you cannot draw on the drawing space. You have to first click the ‘Draw’ button to capture your signature using the Topaz signature pad.

If you wish to sign on the drawing space, you can do so by selecting the ‘Capture signature using your trackpad or mouse’ checkbox.

Alert 3: Clicking on the drawing space after the signature has been captured

If you click on the drawing space after the signature has been captured, this will elicit the following error:

Please click Draw to capture the signature again using Topaz signature pad

In case you meant to draw your signature again, you’ll have to do so by clicking on the ‘Draw’ button. Alternatively, you can check ‘Capture signature using your trackpad or mouse’ on the checkout dialog to sign on to the drawing space.
