3Chapter 1
Introducing the Zpen
This chapter introduces the Zpen and describes its basic features
and components. It contains the following sections:
1
• Overview, page 2, introduces the Zpen and provides an
overview of their key components.
• Working with the Zpen, page 4, describes how the Zpen
can be used.
2
Zpen User’s Guide
Overview
The Zpen is the ultimate wireless PC peripheral tool. You can use
it to write and sketch on any paper and then store this
information in the system’s flash memory fo r later retrieval and
downloading to a PC. The Zpen can be used by anyone of any
age, in any environment – at home, school or in the office. It is
ideal for those on the go, as you can write your documents and
then view them on any computer – all without having to install
special software.
The system comes with two main components – the pen itself and
a receiver.
Zpen
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the various parts of
the pen, especially the rocker switch.
The Zpen works by transmitting its position to the Receiver.
Information written or drawn with the pen is stored on the
Receiver’s flash memory, where it can later be retrieved via a
standard USB connection. Written information can also be
converted to text using standard handwriting recognit ion
software.
The pen works with any standard mini-ballpoint pen ink cartridge.
Its rubber grip ensures that the pen is easy to hold and handle.
Introducing the Zpen
Zpen User’s Guide
Receiver
The Receiver interprets the pen’s live actions and stores them in
files on its flash memory. It can be attached to any paper, with a
coverage area up to an A4 size page. The Receiver easily
connects to any PC via a standard USB connector.
The Receiver contains a rechargeable battery, which
automatically charges when connected to a USB connector on
your PC.
IMPORTANT:
!
You should charge the Receiver’s battery for 16 hours before using the
Zpen for the first time.
Image resolution with the Receiver is between 300-900 dpi.
Up to eight registered Zpen can be used with a single Receiver,
one at a time.
3
The Receiver has several indicator lights that communicate the
device’s status and report any errors that may occur (as outlined
below).
4
Zpen User’s Guide
The Receiver also features a Pause button to help reduce battery
consumption. Pressing the Pause button places the Receiver in
Pause mode for 10 minutes, which helps to conserve the battery.
Once in Pause mode, when you start writing again, the Receiver
begins operating again in its normal manner. The Receiver’s
battery will typically suffice for an entire day’s use. It is
recommended that you charge the battery overnight so that it is
fully charged for its next use. The battery automatically charges
when the Receiver is plugged into a USB port.
Working with the Zpen
Zpen features enable you to:
• Write and sketch on any paper.
• Store hundreds of pages of information on the flash
memory.
• View and edit pages with supplied software.
• Transfer notes and sketches to a computer.
• Use the Receiver’s USB flash memory as a standard flash
drive to store music, images, video files and the like.
• Transform written notes into text.
The Zpen enables you to view and edit your files using the
following applications:
• Pen&Ink Viewer (see Chapter3, Using the Pen&Ink Viewer
Application)
• MyScriptNotes (see MyScriptNotes external manual). The
manual is named MyScriptNotes_Help_English.pdf.
For instructions on getting started with your Zpen, see Getting
Started, page 7.

Step 1: Familiarize Yourself with the Zpen
Before you start working with the Zpen, you should familiarize
yourself with the pen and its components. See Zpen, page 2, for
a complete description of the pen.
If the batteries are not already installed, install the pen’s
batteries, as described in the Inserting the Zpen’s Batteries
section on page 17. .

Step 4: Begin Writing !
Now you are ready to write anywhere. As you write with the
Zpen, the data is stored as you write in a file on the Receiver. A

Receiver.
The Pen indicator LED on the Receiver lights whenever you write
with the Zpen.
Using the Zpen
Zpen User’s Guide
To add a new page, simply press the clip button and attach the
Receiver to a new page. The software automatically adds a new
virtual page to your document.
11
Continue writing until you complete your document. In you want
to take a break during your writing, press the Pause button on
the Receiver, which gives an additional 10 minutes to the
Receiver before it enters Standby mode. This conserves the
battery for longer use.
TIP:
To draw straight lines, keep the pen at the same angle and move your h an d.

Step 5: View Your Files on the Computer
The Zpen system provides two methods for viewing your files:
Using the Pen&Ink Viewer application: This method is
•
ideal for travelers, students and those on the go, as it enables
you to view, email and print your files from any computer, all
without having to install any special software.
For example, if you are a student, you can take notes during
class using the Zpen and Receiver, and then plug in the
Receiver to a USB port on any computer to view your files,
such as at the library. All required software is already installed
on the Receiver.
The Pen&Ink Viewer application provides simple, intuitive
viewing options. See Chapter 3, Using the Pen&Ink Viewer
Application (page 21), for more details about this application.
Using MyScriptNotes: This method requires that supplied
•
software be installed on the computer. The application
provides advanced viewing and editing and handwriting
recognition. See MyScriptNotes manual, for more details
about this application.
Examples for viewing your files using both of these methods are
presented below.

The Receiver does not "see" my Zpen. What can I do?
•
There are several factors that affect the reception and signal
between the Receiver and the Zpen. Firstly, there must be a
clear line of sight between the two devices. This means that
there cannot be any object in between the Receiver and the
Zpen that blocks the infrared signal.
If you hold the pen with your fingers curled around it in such a
way that it blocks the line of sight, then the Receiver cannot
detect the Zpen. Loud noises can also affect reception.
