PoqetPad's" pen-based, MS-DOS operating system includes character recognition, electronic ink

and signature capture capabilities.

PoqetPad™...The affordable, fullfunction, easy-to-usefield computing systemSix key design criteria ensure the effec-

tiveness and usability of PoqetPad™.

S U P E R P O R T A B L E

PoqetPad™ users place a premium on true

portability. They use their system for many

hours each day and need to access it while

standing or walking. PoqetPad™ weighs

only 1.2 pounds and fits easily in one hand.

LONG B A T T E R Y LIFE

PoqetPad™ users don't need to worry

about whether or not they have enough in

their battery life to finish their job.

PoqetPad"" runs for days - not hours - on

two AA alkaline batteries,

PEN INPUT

The pen is the best instrument for

repetitive data entry and signature

capture. PoqetPad™ stylus interface

technology allows for character

recognition and mouse emulation.

PoqetPad™ provides point-and-shoot forms

completion, hand-printed character

recognition, and electronic ink capture

capabilities.

I N D U S T R Y S T A N D A R D S

PoqetPad™ is IBM PC/XT™ compatible

with a ROM-resident DOS shell. Nestor

Writer™ hand-print recognition software,

pop-up keyboards, electronic ink, and

pen/mouse emulation are built in.

For quick, cost effective development of

new applications or conversion of existing

applications, a variety of optional software

programs are available. PoqetPad1"

A few words about FujitsuPersonal SystemsFujitsu Personal Systems specializes

in applying emerging and existing

computer and communi -

cations technologies to

provide super-portable

systems optimized

for spec ia l i zed

applications

and markets. As a subsidiary of Fujitsu

Limited, we can combine the resour-

ces of a $25 billion international cor-

poration with the innovat ion and

responsiveness of a smaller, focused

company.

We have o f f ices throughout the

Americas and Europe and are ready to

serve your field automation needs.

PoqetPad" is a Ml function, PC-compatible hand-

held that's as easy to use as pencil and paper.

Development Tools Specifications

For creat ing new app l ica t ions orconverting existing ones, we provide avar iety of sof tware and hardwaredevelopment tools to match yourappl icat ion and programming pre-ferences.

S Y S T E M S O F T W A R E

For "C" programmers using theirown graphics and forms libraries,PoqetPad ships with a NestorPenShell'" API, with PoqetPad exten-sions. This API lets you designatefields for handwriting input or free-form graphics and includes Micro-soft® mouse/pen emulation.

For file transfer, we include a licensefor PenConnect™ so f tware fromTraveling Software. PenConnectpermits disk sharing via a serial cablebetween the PoqetPad and a desk-top PC running MS-DOS.

O P T I O N A L S O F T W A R E

PenRight! Pro™, a complete forms-based software development toolkit,lets you create and link forms withWYSIWYG graphics tools. A skeletonof the necessary "C" program is thencreated, which g rea t l y reducesprototyp ing and ove ra l l devel-opment time.

For Clipper™ developers, we offer thepadBase version 3 too lk i t . LikePenRight! Pro™, padBase™ is a formstool for the dBASE development en-vironment. Applications can be con-verted into DOS-executable programsusing the Cl ipper 5.0 compiler.

For a higher-level forms developmenttoo lk i t that uses an Engl ish- l ikescripting language instead of "C,"consider the PenPal™ toolkit. PenPal™,like PenRight! Pro™, lets you easilycreate and link forms.

HyperPAD™ uses the HyperTa lk -based PADtalk™ scripting language.Its Engl ish- l ike syntax and object-oriented facil i t ies let you buildapplications in a fraction of the timerequired using tradit ional program-ming languages.

D E V E L O P E R K I T

The PoqetPad Developer Kit givesyou every th ing you need to getstarted. In addition to PoqetPad™, thekit includes supporting peripherals, atechn ica l re fe rence manua l andtechn ica l phone suppor t . A lsoincluded in the technical referencemanual is information and softwarefor PoqetPad™ bar code reader.
