PEN BUTTONS

Your pen scanner is equipped with two buttons. The simple click of each pen button can be programmed so as to execute an operation in the target application. By simply pressing the pen buttons, you will thus be able to execute keyboard commands, add characters, etc. without having to touch your keyboard.

Tip:

The buttons' programming is particularly useful, for example, when entering data into a database: you can program the <Tab> command to get to the next field and program the <Home><Cursor Down> to move the cursor to the next row. When entering amounts in a spreadsheet, you can program the keying of the currency ("$", etc.). In your word processor, you will program the <Enter> key to make a carriage return and start a new paragraph, etc. These are only a few examples...

To program the pen buttons:

•  In the Application window, click Pen Buttons on the toolbar or select the command Pen Buttons from the Settings menu.

The Pen Buttons window opens with a default programming.

•  Modify the default programming by selecting the required radio buttons on the left- and on the right-hand side. The left radio buttons refer to the left button, the right radio buttons refer to the right button.

Possible operations

Null: This corresponds to a "null" operation. In other words, a single click will not trigger off any action.

This option is usually used to deactivate a programmed operation.

Undo last scan: This is used to remove the last scan that was inserted in the target application.

•  Click OK to confirm and close the window.

BEEP SOUND

The Sound option enables to activate a beep sound during the scanning: if you activate the beep, you will hear a beep sound when the pen scanner stops scanning and when the recognized data is being sent to the target application or clipboard.
