Introduction

Picsel Viewer is a revolutionary product for document browsing on thinclient computing platforms. Its leading edge technology allows you to view documents on your CLIÉ without any file-conversion or loss of content. Powerful real-time zooming and panning of documents using intuitive gestures allows close examination and broad overviews with equal ease.

Picsel’s patented ePAGE technology which brings new levels of satisfaction to your experience. It allows you to view almost all documents in almost all permutations.

Central to its appeal is ePAGE’s ability to read files from desktop environments in their native form. No conversion from the original format or compromise is required.

Picsel Viewer’s intuitive user interface makes navigating documents easier than ever. Simply by touching the pen to the device’s screen, you can pan (scroll) your document sideways or vertically to view larger pages on a smaller screen. With a gesture of the pen you can zoom in or out to view intricate details or overviews. Moving to the next page is as simple as turning a leaf in a book and a sophisticated yet attractive menu is available with a tap on the icon in the corner of the screen.

Picsel Viewer supports HTML and all significant image formats (JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, etc.), as well as most popular document types including PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. These prove the package as a leading-edge multimedia and document environment

Please consult the “Read This First” operating instructions for details of your model.

Panning and Zooming a document

The document you wish to see is normally larger than the screen space available. There are two ways to see more of it.

To pan (or ‘scroll’) to a different part of the document, simply stroke your pen across the screen in the direction you would like the page to move. To pan the page up, touch and hold your pen somewhere near the middle of the screen and draw a line towards the top, then take your pen off the screen. You can do this repeatedly so that you can view any size of document. Further, you can ‘throw’ the document across the screen, and it will continue moving after you have released the pen. This gives you time to start another stroke. This inertia can be used to save time while you pan around the document.

You can also zoom the size of the document, so that more or less of it is visible at a different size. The tap-and-stroke gesture for this is to tap

your pen briefly near the middle of the screen then tap and hold it again in the same place. Now stroke your pen up to zoom in or down to zoom out. Release your pen when you reach the scale you like. Using this, you can view small print details on diagrams or get an overview of a whole page.

area that will be expanded using the

horizontal tap-and-stroke gesture.

A further method for zooming into a specific area of the document is available in Picsel Viewer, called ‘Zoom Box’. Use the same tap-andstroke gesture as above, starting at the top-left corner of the area you would like to fill the screen. However, you should then stroke your pen to the right instead of vertically. A coloured box will appear showing

the area that will be enlarged. Move your pen to make this cover the area of interest, and release it.

While you hold your pen down on the screen, the quality of the image may be poorer. This is to make the zooming more responsive to your movement. When you release your pen, the quality will improve.

You can also pan the document up and down using the Jog Dial Navigator on your CLIÉ. If you briefly press and release the Jog Dial, you will then be able to pan horizontally by turning it again. Press it once more to return to vertical panning. You can also zoom in and out by pressing and holding the Jog Dial in and turning it at the same time.

Tap your pen on any of the files and after a moment it will appear on screen. You can move it around, and zoom in or out, using the pen gestures you learnt earlier.
