CLIÉ

User Manual

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

Getting
Started

Now that you have a Sony CLIÉ handheld powered by Picsel Viewer,
you’re ready to see it in action! It is available from the CLIÉ Application
Launcher screen, so to begin, tap the Home icon at the bottom of your
CLIÉ’s screen. Your device may differ slightly from the pictures shown
here. Please consult the “Read This First” operating instructions for
details of your model.

Tap the ‘Picsel Viewer’ icon in the application launcher. This will
launch the application, briefly showing its starting screen. After
launching, you should open a document using the Folder View,
described later in this user guide.

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

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.

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.
