Writing Your Notes on a New Page
By using the , or function button, select any blank digital page in which
you want to store a new page of your handwritten notes on paper. We

immediately captured and stored in the current digital page file of the current

number and the Digital Page Number aligned. For example, you can
know the contents in the digital page from the page number that you
wrote on paper.
Note! If you frequently alternate the built-in 32 MB storage device and an
optional SD memory card, we recommend you to write the page
number like “Page M24”, “P M24”, “Page SD24”, “P SD24” … etc. It is
more convenient for you to know which storage device the digital page
is stored in.
