Usage Overview
The Kanvus KuPen Air enables you to work in two modes : Link Mode and Mobile Mode.
Link Mode

you are working on the operation mode which is
referred as the Link Mode. This operation mode allows
you to upload your handwriting or drawing to a computer
and view them on a screen. For further details, please refer to “Using the Bundled Software”.
When you work in Link Mode, your writing or drawing on the paper will be instantly captured and
displayed on the computer screen. You can do some further editing for the writing and drawing with
the bundled software. The digital pen also acts as a mouse with features like Hovering, Left-Click,
Double-click, and Right-Click.
You can move the mouse cursor with the digital pen by pressing the button on the pen or tap
the pen tip on the paper once. Then, the pen can be used for hovering for about 60 seconds.
To Click an object, point your mouse cursor on that object and tap the digital pen on the paper
or press the button on your pen.

from a computer, it is called Mobile Mode. Under this
mode, you can capture and store your notes that were taken

viewing, editing or email.
