Changing Scanning Settings

Scanning settings can be modified via the Settings menus in Notes and Scan to PC.

The Settings menus in Notes and Scan to PC

Changing the Font Size

There are two font sizes to choose from – regular and enlarged. You can change the font size by selecting or deselecting the Enlarged Font option in the Settings menu in the Pen applications.

Note: The default setting is Enlarged Font.

Regular Font

Enlarged Font

Inverse

The default scanning setting allows you to scan dark text on a light background. To enable scanning of light text on a dark background, select the Inverse option in the Settings menu.

Numeric

Use this option when scanning numbers only.

Selecting a Language for Scanning

Files can be scanned in various languages.

In Notes, the language setting can be changed through Set Language for New File. This setting allows you to change the scanning language for the next new file you open in Notes.

Note: The scanning language will only change when you open a new file. The current file will still retain the previous scanning language setting.

In Scan to PC, the language setting can be changed through Change Scanning Language.

If you are working in Auto Send mode, the language change will be applied immediately. If you are working in non-Auto Send mode and there is unsent text on the screen, a confirmation message will appear before the language is changed.

Scanning Guidelines

Scanning Mode

The Pen is in scanning mode when the red light at the tip of the Pen is blinking. Scanning mode is disabled when you are not in Notes or Scan to PC, or when accessing a toolbar menu.

Scanning Restrictions

The Pen scans and recognizes printed text in a wide range of languages, font types and point sizes (6-22 points, up to

8mm) and in a variety of colors on contrasting backgrounds (except red on white, white on red, blue on black and black on blue).

It does not recognize handwriting, cursive fonts, mathematical symbols or other profession-specific signs.

Scanning Direction

Text can be scanned from right to left or from left to right. Both will produce the same results.

Troubleshooting Poor Character

Recognition

Poor character recognition may occur for the following reasons:

ƒ    Low quality scanning material.

ƒ    The scanning settings are not set correctly (e.g. Inverse).

ƒ    Holding the Pen at the wrong scanning angle.

ƒ    Scanning too fast.

Tips for Good Scanning

To ensure optimum scanning results:

ƒ    Hold the Pen at the correct scanning angle.

ƒ    Place the scanning material on a flat surface.

ƒ    Ensure scanning material is good quality and pages are not creased. Note that poorly photocopied materials may provide bad results.

ƒ    Do not scan too fast.

ƒ    Keep away from excessive moisture and temperature extremes.

ƒ    Clean using a soft, damp cloth.

ƒ    Do not use soap or other cleaning aids on the touch screen.

ƒ    Avoid exposing to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

ƒ    Avoid scratching or damaging the touch screen.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the internal components, do not spray liquid directly on the screen or allow excess liquid to drip inside your Pen.
