How Do I Use the C-Pen?
The C-Pen Core software will display the text you scan. The
scanned text will be inserted at the cursor position. This means
that you can scan text into any standard program.
This is an example on how to scan text into MS Word.
– First check that the C-Pen Core status windows reports that
your C-Pen is connected.
– Start MS Word.
– Place the cursor where you want the text to appear. Do NOT
click anywhere else as this will move the cursor and make your
program window “passive”.
– Place the tip of the C-Pen a few millimetres before the first
character of the text. Press the C-Pen gently towards the paper
and start moving it along the text line. Try to keep a steady
line! Lift the C-Pen from the paper when you have scanned the
last character.
– The text you just scanned will instantly be inserted into MS
Word.
The text is fully editable, e.g. you can change font type and size
in MS Word to customise the text. There is a video on the website
that describes how it works in more detail.
Note that there is a small automatic trigger at the tip of the C-
Pen. This activates the scanning when the C-Pen is pressed
against the paper. It is important that the trigger is pressed in
during the complete scan.
The automatic trigger is shown in the picture on page 1.
Switching the C-Pen On and Off
The C-Pen is always turned on when the USB cable is connected to
a computer which is turned on.
The C-Pen will automatically turn off when you turn off the
computer, or if you disconnect the USB cable.
