Introducing the Zpen

Zpen Users Guide1

3Chapter 1


This chapter introduces the Zpen and describes its basic features

and components. It contains the following sections:

Overview, page 2, introduces the Zpen and provides an

overview of their key components.

Working with the Zpen, page 4, describes how the Zpen

can be used.


8/52

Zpen Users Guide2

OverviewThe Zpen is the ultimate wireless PC peripheral tool. You can use

it to write and sketch on any paper and then store this

information in the systems flash memory for later retrieval and

downloading to a PC. The Zpen can be used by anyone of any

age, in any environment at home, school or in the office. It is

ideal for those on the go, as you can write your documents and

then view them on any computer all without having to install

special software.

The system comes with two main components the pen itself and

a receiver.

Zpen

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the various parts of

the pen, especially the rocker switch.

The Zpen works by transmitting its position to the Receiver.

Information written or drawn with the pen is stored on the

Receivers flash memory, where it can later be retrieved via a

standard USB connection. Written information can also be

converted to text using standard handwriting recognition

software.

The pen works with any standard mini-ballpoint pen ink cartridge.

Its rubber grip ensures that the pen is easy to hold and handle.

Zpen Users Guide3

Receiver

The Receiver interprets the pens live actions and stores them in

files on its flash memory. It can be attached to any paper, with a

coverage area up to an A4 size page. The Receiver easily

connects to any PC via a standard USB connector.

The Receiver contains a rechargeable battery, which

automatically charges when connected to a USB connector on

your PC.

! IMPORTANT:You should charge the Receivers battery for 16 hours before using the

Zpen for the first time.

Image resolution with the Receiver is between 300-900 dpi.

Up to eight registered Zpen can be used with a single Receiver,

one at a time.

The Receiver has several indicator lights that communicate the

devices status and report any errors that may occur (as outlined

below).


10/52

Zpen Users Guide4

The Receiver also features a Pause button to help reduce battery

consumption. Pressing the Pause button places the Receiver in

Pause mode for 10 minutes, which helps to conserve the battery.

Once in Pause mode, when you start writing again, the Receiver

begins operating again in its normal manner. The Receivers

battery will typically suffice for an entire days use. It is

recommended that you charge the battery overnight so that it is

fully charged for its next use. The battery automatically charges

when the Receiver is plugged into a USB port.

Working with the Zpen

Zpen features enable you to:

Write and sketch on any paper.

Store hundreds of pages of information on the flash

memory.

View and edit pages with supplied software.

Transfer notes and sketches to a computer.

Use the Receivers USB flash memory as a standard flash

drive to store music, images, video files and the like.

Transform written notes into text.

The Zpen enables you to view and edit your files using the

following applications:

Pen&Ink Viewer (see Chapter3, Using the Pen&Ink Viewer

Application)

MyScriptNotes (see MyScriptNotes external manual). The

manual is named MyScriptNotes_Help_English.pdf.

For instructions on getting started with your Zpen, see Getting

Started, page 7.

Before you start working with the Zpen, you should familiarize

yourself with the pen and its components. See Zpen, page 2, for

a complete description of the pen.

If the batteries are not already installed, install the pens

batteries, as described in the Inserting the Zpens Batteries

section on page 17..

Step 2: Clip the Receiver to a Sheet of

Paper

Step 2: Clip the Receiver to a Sheet of

Step 5: View Your Files on the Computer

The Zpen system provides two methods for viewing your files:

Using the Pen&Ink Viewer application: This method is

ideal for travelers, students and those on the go, as it enables

you to view, email and print your files from any computer, all

without having to install any special software.

For example, if you are a student, you can take notes during

class using the Zpen and Receiver, and then plug in the

Receiver to a USB port on any computer to view your files,

such as at the library. All required software is already installed

on the Receiver.

The Pen&Ink Viewer application provides simple, intuitive

viewing options. See Chapter 3, Using the Pen&Ink Viewer

Application (page 21), for more details about this application.

Using MyScriptNotes: This method requires that supplied

software be installed on the computer. The application

provides advanced viewing and editing and handwriting

recognition. See MyScriptNotes manual, for more details

about this application.

Examples for viewing your files using both of these methods arepresented below.

Appendix A

Troubleshooting

This appendix describes the most common issues or problems you

may encounter when working with your Zpen and how to resolve

them. It contains the following section:

Zpen Operation, page 45, describes problems associated

with the operation of the Zpen and how to solve them.

Troubleshooting

Zpen Users Guide45

Zpen OperationThis section describes problems associated with the operation of

the Zpen and how to resolve them.

The Receiver does not "see" my Zpen. What can I do?

There are several factors that affect the reception and signal

between the Receiver and the Zpen. Firstly, there must be a

clear line of sight between the two devices. This means that

there cannot be any object in between the Receiver and the

Zpen that blocks the infrared signal.

If you hold the pen with your fingers curled around it in such a

way that it blocks the line of sight, then the Receiver cannot

detect the Zpen. Loud noises can also affect reception.

How do I replace the Zpen's batteries?
