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:

ƒLow quality scanning material.

ƒThe scanning settings are not set correctly (e.g.

Inverse).

ƒHolding the Pen at the wrong scanning angle.

ƒScanning too fast.

Tips for Good Scanning

To ensure optimum scanning results:

ƒHold the Pen at the correct scanning angle.

ƒPlace the scanning material on a flat surface.

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

ƒDo not scan too fast.
