C PEN
Congratulations - you have just bought
yourself a photographic memory! C Pen is
a Mobile Information Collector that reads,
remembers, processes and transfers printed
text cordlessly to your Windows-equipped
PC. C Pen is in essence an electronic
highlighter that remembers the text that
you are marking.
C Pen is equipped with 8 MB of memory,
of which 6 MB can be used to store about
3,000 standard size pages. C Pen communi-
cates with your PC via a built-in infrared
interface, using the IrDA standard. When
C Pen is connected to your Windows PC, it is
recognized as a standard drive. C Pen contains
a digital camera, OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) technology and a powerful
computer, yet weighs no more than 100 grams.
Carry it with you wherever you go.

the reading end of the pen and lift the battery upwards.
Charging
1. Connect the charger to C Pen.
2. Plug the charger into a mains socket.

automatically. You cannot overcharge the battery. While
charging, you may use C Pen as usual, but the charging
time will be longer. The normal charging time is 12
hours.

How C Pen Works
As C Pen is moved over the text, C Pen’s internal light
source illuminates the characters and a camera takes
pictures of the text. These images are transformed to
computer-readable text by an OCR-system.
WhatisOCR?
Optical Character Recognition is the process of turning
an image into computer-readable text. During OCR,
C Pen analyzes the images taken by its camera and
translates them into text characters.After OCR, you can
transmit the resulting text to your PC and use it in your
Windows applications.
However, you cannot always expect C Pen to achieve
100 % correct character recognition. The result depends
on a number of circumstances:
• The quality of the printed text you want to read with
C Pen.You can calibrate C pen to optimize its
performance under difficult conditions. See Calibra-
tion under Settings/Text Quality, p. 32. High-quality
printed text produces, of course, maximum OCR
accuracy. With lower-quality pages, e.g. poor fax
copies, OCR accuracy will be poorer.
• How you hold and move C Pen over the original text.
Please read the Quick Start folder to learn how to use
C Pen correctly. It is crucial that you follow these
instructions in order to get optimal results.
• The language of the text C Pen is reading. The text
language should be set in Settings.

C Pen
• Anything that is not a printed character, and any
character distorted by a mark or smudge on the paper
could be unrecognizable.
• Characters in the text should not overlap.
• Underlined text is difficult for C Pen to read because
the underline changes the shape of descenders of the
letters q, g, y, p, and j.
• C Pen can’t read red or yellow text on a white or red
background, or white text on a red background.
• The size of the characters should be 7–20 points.
Read more about settings in the Settings chapter on
p. 30.
NOTE: C Pen only recognizes machine-printed charac-
ters such as laser-printed or typewritten text. C Pen does
not recognise handwritten text.
