14. Troubleshoot ing – Sign
EchoSign supports all major browsers – Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari – on
PCs, Mac and Linux. On occasion, you may encounter a customer/signer
with (1) an unusual browser set-up, or (2) with email problems, either of which
can make it harder to sign.
Alternate Signing Processes
EchoSign has two additional solutions for any customers have any trouble signing.
Browser Issues
“Simple E-Sign” For signers with very old PCs or unusual browser configurations:
1. If the customer is having trouble getting the sign page to load in their browser
(e.g., a very old PC over dial-up), let them know there is a second, alternate link
to sign below the default one highlighted:
2. The signer will then be brought to a basic version of the Sign page that better
supports old PCs and slow dial-up:
