Setting up the Digital Paper App

To transfer documents to the Digital Paper, it is necessary to
install the dedicated app, “Digital Paper App,” onto your
computer and to set up a connection (perform pairing) between
the Digital Paper and the Digital Paper App on the computer.

By installing the Digital Paper App onto multiple computers in
your home or office, you can pair multiple computers with a
single Digital Paper device. If one computer is set up with
multiple user accounts, each user account must be paired
separately.

The Digital Paper App for a single user account can be
paired with multiple Digital Paper devices. For information on
how to pair with the Digital Paper App, see the links in
“Related Topic.”

When multiple user accounts are set to a computer, make

89

sure to set “Connecting a second and subsequent Digital

Paper” for each user account.

If you skipped pairing during the initial setup or if you want to
install the Digital Paper App onto a different computer, follow the
steps below.

Turn on the computer and connect it to the

1

Internet.

If the Digital Paper App has already been installed on the
computer, steps 1 and 2 are not necessary. Please
proceed to step 3.

Download the Digital Paper App from the

2

customer support website, and install it onto
the computer.

Launch the Digital Paper App, and use the

3

supplied USB cable to connect the computer
to the Digital Paper.

The [Connect to Digital Paper] screen is displayed.

Follow the screen of the Digital Paper App,

4

and pair the Digital Paper device with the
Digital Paper App.

If a software update is available for the
