Abstract
A method of processing a transaction comprising the steps of generating a position signal indicative of position of a touching of a touch screen having a transparent reference surface, displaying an image of the touching of the screen responsive to the position signal, and changing the image as a function of the difference between the position signal and a predetermined position value.

A terminal, comprising:
- a touch screen having a transparent surface for generating a position signal indicative of a position of a touching of the screen;
- a display under the transparent reference surface for displaying an image in response to an input signal;
- and
- a controller for:
- capturing position signals from the touch screen;
- generating the input signal such that the image changes position on the display during the capturing of the position signals, wherein the input signal is a function of the captured position signals and a predetermined position value signal and the predetermined position value signal is indicative of a predetermined position where a person is expected to sign on the display;
- and
- determining an offset correction value to cause a displayed signature to migrate closer to the predetermined position.
