・In a large room, turn the sensor slightly downward.
・Don’t use any reflecting surfaces (metal, mirror etc.) in thefront of the sensor or around the sensor as it may cause false
recognition.
・If the ceiling is high, noise may influence the sensor detection.
・For the content using sound, problem may occur if the sensor catches sound of the TV speaker.
If the TV speakers are close to the sensor, turn down the TV volume.
・At the exhibition hall, noise from the environment may be strong. Infrared rays and radio waves
also may cause errors.

About skeletal tracking
・Combination of gray hair and thin eyebrows may cause some errors in skeletal recognition.
・If user is lower than 100 cm, the sensor may not be able to display skeleton tracking.
・If the recognition rate is low, please try to use TANO® in the environment with a wall behind theuser.

If you use an external monitor connected via HDMI, the game sound will be played back from its
speakers. In that case please check the volume settings of a display device.

Is it slow?
If the CPU is lower than COREi5 and the operation seems to be slow, perform the following settings.
・Set the performance of TANO® launcher (see page 19).
・Set the screen resolution to 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
・Change the USB 3.0 port
・Check the power supply and disperse it if the plug socket is overloaded.

Does TANO® recognizes people around?
Please avoid using any reflecting surfaces (metal, mirror etc.) around the sensor, or use the sensor inanother direction.

Does TANO® recognizes voices and sounds?
TANO® may not respond correctly if there is sound noise around. Set the low level of sensitivity.
If the sensor is close to the TV speaker please turn down the TV volume.
When playing TANO® please use the language has been set for the game.

Can you print?
・After installing the label printer, check the settings of the label printer software.

Setting up a label printerThe result which was received by TANO® content such as "CAREPIT"®
and "Measurement" can be printed by label printers.
The only compatible label printer is Brother's label printer QL-800
according software specifications.
Drivers setup
Set up drivers from TANO2019 ➡ @RUNTEMESET ➡
label_printer or Launcher ➡ LABEL PRINTER SETUP.
Check the latest drivers on manufacturer`s official home
page.
TANO® also can support QL-700 but it is recommended touse QL-800. You can not print when Editor LITE is displayed (USB memory mode). In this casehold down the “EditorLITE ” button to turn it off.

Label printer power management
Label printers perform their own power management, so that some printers may not start up
automatically even if the PC is started. If you want a label printer to turn on automatically, please
follow the steps below.

Troubleshooting①

Q1. Displayed menu is not enough⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫

If sensor is not recognized, only web camera performing content will be displayed.
The number of displayed content can differ depending on the type of sensor.
Menu is set up to 1 in Settings section (beginners mode).
Please see Q2 if menu is not enough even though sensor is connected.

Q2. Sensor`s indicator does not light
When sensor is connected to a PC, power adapter indicator will be white, but sensor indicator
will not light until TANO® has not been started.
⚫

If sensor indicator is off when the menu of TANO® is displayed, refer to manual and check⚫

contacts of each sensor connection.
If sensor indicator blinks, see Q6.

Q3. The screen is strange / The mouse cursor does not move more than acertain level of screen
⚫
⚫

⚫
⚫

⚫

If the screen size is strange when you start TANO®, there may be a problem withcompatibility with the TV, resolution ratio and PC settings. Please check the following points.
Is the screen resolution set to 1920x1080 (16:9)?
The recommended screen resolution is 1280x720 or 1920x1080.
If the size is not as recommended, TV screen may have margins or may be extended
beyond.
If screen is slightly out of place, you can fit it by using screen size setting tool (TANO setting).
Is the size of the text 100%?
If the size is not 100%, there may be mouse cursor restrictions.
Partial influence by some old television
Some old TVs do not always accept digital signals such as HDMI. In that case, you need toturn on the TV before the PC.
If the input on the TV side is HDMI1, HDMI2, etc. be careful of the input connection.

Q4. Low performance speed
⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫

Check if TV or monitor is not set to 4K etc. (Please see Q3 and set it as 1920x1080)
Optimize PC performance setting from the launcher (TANO setting).
Check if Windows Update or other software are not active.
If sensor is placed on the table, install it on the front end.
Check the sensor connection again.
Confirm that the PC performance is more than 3000 in PassMark
Install or update your PC graphics drivers

Troubleshooting ②
Q5. No sound⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫

Volume can be configurated on PC side, TV side and by using TANO settings. Please check each setting.
Sound may not be played back at D-SUB input etc. or at some HDMI inputs.
If there are no speakers on TV or monitor side, it will be switched to PC side.
If you have a TV, PC, or external speakers (audio output function), you can switch using PC's playbacksettings.

Q6. Sensor blinks, does not light
⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫

If sensor does not turned on at all, it may be due to drivers lack. Please consult your dealer.
If you change the USB connection port and it became unstable, return connection to the one which was able tooperate.
If it became unstable after Windows Update, roll back the update and restore it.
Confirm that there are no contact failures at each connection site.
It may occur due to lack of power. Do not connect sensor`s power cable in the same multi-socket with devices
which use strong electric power.

Q6. Two-dimensional code reader does not respond⚫
⚫
⚫
⚫

Check the connection port.
Check the charge if you use wireless unit.
Be aware that the input signal will be lost if you touch by mouse another program or another screen.
After starting Notepad or a similar program scan with 2D-code reader and check whether characters can be
input or not.

Q7. Can not print⚫

Check that a printer is configurated as standard printer.

⚫

Perform test printing not during playing TANO .

⚫

A4 printing setting should be basic.
