Getting Started
5
Scanning Restrictions
The Pen scans and recognizes printed text in a wide
range of languages, font types and point sizes (6-22
points, up to 8mm) and in a variety of colors on
contrasting backgrounds (except red on white, white on
red, blue on black and black on blue).
It does not recognize handwriting, cursive fonts,
mathematical symbols or other profession-specific signs.
Tips for Good Scanning
To ensure optimum scanning results:
Hold the Pen at the correct scanning angle.
Place the scanning material on a flat surface.
Ensure scanning material is good quality and pages
are not creased. Poorly photocopied materials may
provide bad results.
Do not scan too fast.
Correct scanning angle of 90°
Poor Character Recognition
Poor character recognition may occur for the following
reasons:
Low quality scanning material.
The scanning settings are not set correctly (e.g.
Inverse).
Holding the Pen at the wrong scanning angle.
Scanning too fast.

Learning to Scan (using the Trainer)
This tutorial uses the Quicktionary application and the
plastic scanning Trainer provided with your Pen.

the cap) and press into place.
2. Turn the Pen on. The Select Dictionary menu will
appear. Select the English ÆGerman dictionary.
3. The Input Screen will appear with the message
“Scan in English”. The red light flashing at the tip
of the Pen indicates that the Pen is ready to scan.
4. Position the Pen at a 90° angle and center the
following text between the feet of the trainer. This
angle should be maintained even when scanning
without the trainer.
Use the following practice sentence:
This sentence will help me practice scanning.
5. Glide the Pen from right to left in a straight line over
the text. Start scanning 1cm from the end of the text
and finish 1cm after the beginning of the text.
6. The Split Screen will appear, with the scanned text
on the screen. If the text does not appear correctly
on the screen, scan again and the text on screen
will be over-written by the new text.
