INTRODUCTION TO

Congratulations - you have just bought a photographic

memory! C-Pen is a Mobile Information Collector that reads,

remembers, processes and transfers printed text to yourWin-

dows-equipped PC and PDA products. C-Pen is in essence

an electronic highlighter that saves the text you are mark-

ing. Carry it with you wherever you go!

Make it a habit to take your portable text collector with

you, and you are always ready to read and save text from

books, papers, brochures or business cards. You can easily

record price-lists, timetables, wine tips or witty quotes.You

don’t have to tear out pages any more.

With the portable dictionary you can translate and look up

words immediately without carrying around a printed

dictionary!

Your saved text files can later be transferred to your PC. It is

also possible to use C-Pen to read text directly into a Win-

dows application in your PC.

C-Pen Models

In order to accommodate different needs, several C-Pen

models are available. They all have the basic features

C Read, C Write and Notes. The set of applications

depends on the model. C-Pen 600MX is equipped with

applications such as C Dictionary and Storage and has the

ability to read the Cyrillic alphabet. On the following pages

you will find a short description of C-Pen 600MX and its

applications.

For more information on C-Pen, please refer to our webpage:

http://www.cpen.com.

tion ability, making it the perfect companion when travel-

ling or studying.

C-Pen 600MX includes:

• C Read

• C Write

• C Beam

• C Direct

• Notes

• Info

• Storage

Your Personal Digital Assistant

Powerful features

• C Read

Reads in text - the basic function of C-Pen. Move C-Pen

over the text, and the text will be captured by the pen,

where it can be saved as a file for later processing.

• C Write (only the Latin alphabet)

Allows you to enter characters by writing with C-Pen as

if it were an ordinary pen. This is useful when editing

text, entering file names and looking up words in C Dic-

tionary

• C Direct

Enables you to transfer the scanned text directly from C-

Pen into your PC. The text will be placed at the cursor

position in any Windows program.

• C Beam

Transfers notes, contacts, calendar events and files be-

tween C-Pen and PDAs. C Beam supports the standard

infrared protocol IrOBEX. All devices and applications

using the IrOBEX protocol to its full extent are fully

compatible with C-Pen.

• C Dictionary

Enables your C-Pen to translate and/or look up words. C

Dictionary is very easy to use, simply slide your C-Pen

over the word you require translated and within less than

a second the result is displayed. Several language soft-

ware packages are available.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Storage

Storage area in C-Pen, which can be used as a floppy

disc for files.

Optimal Reading Conditions

C-Pen uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read

text. OCR is the process of turning an image of characters

into computer-readable text.

As C-Pen moves over the text, its internal light source illu-

minates the characters and a camera takes pictures of the

text. During OCR, C-Pen analyzes the pictures taken by its

camera and translates them into text characters.

The OCR quality will depend on the reading conditions.

The letters most commonly confused using OCR are:

e → c

r+n → m

l → I

i → l

t → c

c → o

The following conditions affect the quality of character

recognition:

• The print quality of the text

High-quality printed text naturally gives maximum

OCR accuracy. With lower-quality print, e.g. faxes,

OCR accuracy may be poorer. You can calibrate the

C-Pen to optimize its performance under difficult

conditions; see Calibration, p. 56.

Please note that C-Pen only recognizes machine-printed

characters such as laser-printed or typewritten text.

C-Pen does not recognize handwritten text.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Position and movement of C-Pen

It is important how you hold and move C-Pen over the

printed text. Please see Reading text, p. 22 or 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 the best results.

• The language of the text

Set the text language of the text you wish to read, to

get the most suitable OCR. See Text Language, p. 55.

• Deformed characters

Anything that is not a printed character, and any

character distorted by a mark or smudge on the paper

may be unrecognizable.

• Overlapping characters

Characters in the text should not overlap.

• Italics and underlined text

Italics are slightly difficult for C-Pen to read in some

fonts. Underlined text is also difficult for C-Pen to

read because the underline changes the shapes of the

descenders of the letters g, j, p, q and y.

• Text colors - text and surface

C-Pen cannot read some combinations of text colors

on colored surfaces, such as red or yellow text on a

white or red background.

Text that is highlighted by a traditional highlighter

marker can be read in some cases, depending on the

color and darkness of the ink.

• Small or large character sizes

The size of the characters should be 5–22 points.

C Write

Please note that you can only use C Write for the Latin

alphabet.

C Write is a feature that allows you to draw characters by

using C-Pen as an ordinary pen. C-Pen can track its own

movement over a surface and recognize the movement as a

letter, digit or a symbol. C Write is an alternative to using

the character set when inserting characters in a text.

Please note that to be able to use C Write, the surface you

“write” on must have a distinct pattern. Printed text is the

best choice.

Use C Write in the following way:

1. Enter edit mode.

2. Position the cursor on C-Pen’s display.

3. Place C-Pen with the pen tip flat against a text surface.

4. Form a letter, see C Write Prototypes, p. 35. The Trigg

button must be pressed while forming the letter.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

5. Lift the pen from the surface. When the pen is lifted from

the surface an image will briefly appear on the display,

showing the letter as perceived by your C-Pen.

You do not have to wait for this image to disappear

to write your next letter. The function is called

C Write Feedback, and is enabled as default.

Visual feedback

The C Write Feedback utility can be switched on/off as

follows.

1. Go to Settings in the main screen.

2. Select C Write Feedback.

3. Uncheck/check the check box according to your per-

sonal preference.

4. Select OK.

Basic rules when using C Write

It is important that the pen tip is in contact with the surface

while you are writing. The Trigg button must be pressed

before you start writing.

The writing surface must have a distinct pattern, such as a

printed text. Solid colors or simple repetitive patterns (lines,

squares, grids) should be avoided.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

In order to obtain maximum accuracy when writing with C-

Pen, your characters should resemble the prototypes on

the following pages as closely as possible.

A character must be drawn in one single stroke. The dot

indicates the starting point of the stroke, see next page.

The height of the character should be 1 - 4 cm

(¼ - 1¼ inch).

Capital letters

When you enter edit mode the status field will

change appearance. The edit mode symbol indi-

cates that C Write will generate lowercase

letters.

C Write Lowercase icon

To write a capital letter, you have to write the shift

sign first, see C Write Prototypes. Only the first

letter will be a capital. The status field will reflect

this choice.

C Dictionary

Introduction

C Dictionary is a software application that allows you to

translate and/or look up definitions of words in less than a

second. Whether you translate or look up definitions de-

pends upon which dictionary you choose to install. With

bilingual dictionaries, you can translate from one language

to another. Some dictionaries are monolingual reference

dictionaries and with them you can look up definitions of

words.

C Dictionary translates or looks up words one word at a

time, the same way you would look up words in a paper

dictionary. You can however, scan in an entire line of text

and then choose which word you wish to look up.

Several kinds of dictionaries are available from a variety of

publishers. The dictionaries available for download are

copyrighted by their respective publisher. See Copyright

Notice for details, p. 88.

Before you start installing the dictionaries, make sure you

have a working connection between C-Pen and your PC.

See Using C-Pen with your PC, p. 71.

C-Pen will find the appropriate balance of black and white

for the particular surface. If your C-Pen reads poorly, try to

calibrate it. However, the default settings should be able to

cope with most cases.

Calibration overrides the factory settings. The calibrated

setting is not saved when C-Pen is turned off. If you want to

revert to the factory setting without turning C-Pen off,

select Calibration in Settings and then Calibrate. Select

DEFAULT SETTING in the dialog box.

Inverted (negative) text must be reset in Text Quality.

Please note that it is impossible to read red text.

If calibration does not improve the reading accuracy, return

to the default setting.

The Calibration menu contains three items:

1. Calibrate, where you can :

Calibrate immediately by moving the pen over the text sur-

face, see How to... p. 58, or return to the DEFAULT SETTING

which is the factory setting.

2. Options, where you can enable/disable the Quick

Calibration option.

Quick calibration is the preferred option if you often

read texts with very different text contrasts. Quick

calibration is disabled as default.

Quick calibration enables C-Pen to start a calibration

as soon as you press Trigg.

The pen tip should be pressed flat against the surface

and held, perfectly still, while you press Trigg for

about two seconds.

3. Cancel, return to the main menu.

contrast between the text and its background. When the C-

Pen display says “Press scan to calibrate”, follow these

instructions:

1. Hold C-Pen with the pen tip flat against the surface.

2. Press Trigg while moving the pen. If calibration is

performed from a menu other than the Settings main

menu, you should press Trigg, hold the pen still for

two seconds and then move it over the surface.

3. A progress indicator appears on C-Pen’s screen.

4. Move C-Pen over the text, in circles or back and forth.

Continue to move C-Pen until the progress bar is

complete.

to your PC’s manual to find out whether your PC is

equipped with an IR port and if so, where it is located.

Most desktop PCs do not have a built-in IR port. In this

case you must use an external IR adapter. Contact your

retailer if you do not have an IR adapter.

2. Infrared drivers are included on the C-Pen CD. It is

crucial to install the infrared driver properly.

3. C-Win Software. This software is installed from the

C-Pen CD.

The following is required for cable communication:

1. Cable. The cable is included in the C-Pen package.

2. COM port (serial port). The cable should be plugged

into an available COM port on your PC.

3. C-Win Software. This software is installed from the C-

Pen CD.

Installing C-Win Software

C-Win Software and the infrared driver – if required – are

installed when you run the installation programs on the C-

Pen CD. The menu option Documentation on the C-Pen

CD contains the User's Guide and Help. The installation

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

program also enables you to view Tutorial videos, which

demonstrate how to use C-Pen for best results. Click the

file you want to read.

To install C-Win Software (C-Win):

1. Put the C-Pen CD into your PC’s CD-ROM drive and the

installation program will start automatically. If installa-

tion does not start, click the Start button/Run and type

x:\cpen.exe, where x: denotes the CD-ROM drive.

2. To install C-Win, click Software installation.

When C-Win is installed, the installation of C-Win com-

munication settings (IR and/or cable) starts. If you have

a C-Pen with a cable connection, you can choose to com-

municate by IR, cable or both. Please follow the in-

structions.

Infrared drivers might already be installed on your PC.

The installation program will tell you if this is the case.

Infrared hardware on laptops can be configured in many

different ways. Please follow the instructions in the in-

stallation program. If you have questions about IR com-

munication, please click the Start button/Programs/C-

Pen/Troubleshooting or go to www.cpen.com/support

and click on Troubleshooting, or contact your laptop

retailer or manufacturer.

Connecting C-Pen to a PC by IR

To connect C-Pen to your PC, position C-Pen so that it is

aligned with the PC’s IR port as shown in the figure.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The installation program will place a C-Pen icon (My C-

Pen) on your PC’s desktop. When C-Pen is within range of

the PC’s IR port you can double-click on the icon. If

communication is established between the PC’s IR port

and C-Pen, a communication icon will appear in the status

field on C-Pen’s display.

On most laptops the built-in IR port - a red or black shiny

plastic square - is found on the back or side of the com-

puter.

Connecting C-Pen to a PC by Cable

To connect a C-Pen to your PC, plug in the cable in C-Pen

and in an available COM port on your PC.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The installation program will place a C-Pen icon (My C-

Pen) on your PC’s desktop. When C-Pen is connected to

your PC you can double-click on the icon. If the cable

connection between C-Pen and the PC is in order, a com-

munication icon will appear in the status field on C-Pen’s

display.

Getting Help

To get more detailed help using C-Win, open C-PenViewer

(by double-clicking on the My C-Pen icon), from the Help

menu select the C-Pen Help Topics. Or click your PC’s Start

button/Programs/C-Pen/C-Pen Help.You can also press F1

on the PC keyboard to enter the C-Win Software Help.

C-Pen Viewer

Open C-Pen Viewer by double-clicking on the My C-Pen

icon. C-Pen Viewer enables you to browse the contents of

your C-Pen.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The user interface looks like Windows Explorer and you

will recognize the applications from the main screen in C-

Pen. Use C-PenViewer to open and browse files in your C-

Pen, to create new folders and to remove applications from

your C-Pen.

Your C-Pen Viewer might look different from the figure

above, depending on which options you have enabled in

the Explorer’s View menu.

Copy and paste in the PC Environment

In the C-PenViewer you can view the details of the pen and

also perform copy and paste operations.

One way of copying and pasting files is to use the Edit

menu at the top of the active window on your desktop.

Select the file you want to copy by clicking on it once.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Then click the Edit menu and select Copy in the menu that

appears. Select the folder in which you want to put the

copy. Then click the Edit menu and select Paste. A copy

of the file is now placed in the selected folder.

Another way is to use “drag and drop”. Click the file you

want to copy and keep the mouse button down. While keep-

ing the mouse button down, move the mouse to point at

the folder where you want to copy the file. Release the

mouse button when the folder becomes highlighted. The

file is now copied to the folder.

Installing and Removing Applications

The applications in your C-Pen can be removed and new

ones can be installed in the C-Pen Viewer. The C-Pen

application’s file name is “.car” (C-Pen Archive). The files

do not have to be placed in any specific folder on your PC,

C-Pen will find them regardless.

To install a new application in C-Pen simply double-click

on the “.car” file you want and installation will begin. You

have to turn C-Pen off and on again to complete the pro-

cess.

To remove an application from C-Pen select the applica-

tion in the C-Pen Viewer and choose Uninstall C-Pen Ap-

plication from the File menu and follow the instructions

on the screen. You have to turn C-Pen off and on again to

complete the process.

Some applications are part of the basic C-Pen functional-

ity and cannot be uninstalled. To see if it is possible to

uninstall an application, select it and open the File menu.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The application can be uninstalled if the menu option

Uninstall C-PenApplication is enabled.

Transferring Files

There are two ways to transfer files to and from C-Pen.

Either between a PDA and C-Pen, or between C-Pen and a

PC. It’s practically the same as working with a floppy disk

or a hard drive.

Transferring files to and from a PC

Before transferring files you have to double-click on the

My C-Pen icon on your PC in order to open the C-Pen

Viewer. See C-PenViewer, p. 74.

Please note that it is very important that communication

functions properly. The IR-eyes of your PC and C-Pen

must be aligned and in range of each other (5-20 centime-

ters or 2-8 inches). There must be no obstacles between

the devices. If you use the cable, make sure that the cable

is properly connected at both ends.

Find the file you want to transfer (e.g. a text file in Notes)

and select it. Then copy the file and paste it into the

desired folder on your PC. Please read Copy and paste in

the PC Environment, on p. 75.

When transferring files from the PC to C-Pen, remember

that each application accepts only its own kind of files.

Notes, for example, may only contain text files. Other file

types can be saved in Storage, see Storage, p. 62.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Transferring files to and from a PDA device

Files can be transferred to and from PDA devices if the PDA

device supports the standard infrared protocol IrOBEX. Files

are transferred with the application C Beam, see p. 64.

C Direct

C Direct allows you to enter text from your C-Pen directly at

the cursor position in any Windows program.

The C Direct application in the C-Pen main screen only

gives information about the function. C Direct is activated

from the PC and communicates by IR or cable. For further

information on how to use C Direct, see p. 68.

C-Pen Edit

C-Pen Edit is a simple text editor that provides basic text

editing functions, such as cut, copy, paste, find and re-

place. It can communicate directly with your C-Pen to open

and save files, when C-Pen and your PC are connected.

C-Pen Edit lets you edit files stored in C-Pen directly on

your PC, without having to first move them to your PC.

Double-click a text file in Notes in the C-PenViewer, and it

will automatically be opened in C-Pen Edit. An opened

file from C-Pen can be saved either to your PC or directly

back into C-Pen. The same applies when you open a file

from your PC.

selecting Disconnect C-Pen from the File menu in the C-Pen

Viewer.
