OverviewThe Zpen is the ultimate wireless PC peripheral tool. You can use
it to write and sketch on any paper and then store this
information in the systems flash memory for later retrieval and
downloading to a PC. The Zpen can be used by anyone of any
age, in any environment at home, school or in the office. It is
ideal for those on the go, as you can write your documents and
then view them on any computer all without having to install
special software.
The system comes with two main components the pen itself and
a receiver.
Zpen
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the various parts of
the pen, especially the rocker switch.
The Zpen works by transmitting its position to the Receiver.
Information written or drawn with the pen is stored on the
Receivers flash memory, where it can later be retrieved via a
standard USB connection. Written information can also be
converted to text using standard handwriting recognition
software.
The pen works with any standard mini-ballpoint pen ink cartridge.
Its rubber grip ensures that the pen is easy to hold and handle.

Receiver
The Receiver interprets the pens live actions and stores them in
files on its flash memory. It can be attached to any paper, with a
coverage area up to an A4 size page. The Receiver easily
connects to any PC via a standard USB connector.
The Receiver contains a rechargeable battery, which
automatically charges when connected to a USB connector on
your PC.
! IMPORTANT:You should charge the Receivers battery for 16 hours before using the
Zpen for the first time.
Image resolution with the Receiver is between 300-900 dpi.
Up to eight registered Zpen can be used with a single Receiver,
one at a time.
The Receiver has several indicator lights that communicate the
devices status and report any errors that may occur (as outlined

The Receiver also features a Pause button to help reduce battery
consumption. Pressing the Pause button places the Receiver in
Pause mode for 10 minutes, which helps to conserve the battery.
Once in Pause mode, when you start writing again, the Receiver
begins operating again in its normal manner. The Receivers
battery will typically suffice for an entire days use. It is
recommended that you charge the battery overnight so that it is
fully charged for its next use. The battery automatically charges
when the Receiver is plugged into a USB port.

class using the Zpen and Receiver, and then plug in the
Receiver to a USB port on any computer to view your files,
such as at the library. All required software is already installed
on the Receiver.

Zpen OperationThis section describes problems associated with the operation of
the Zpen and how to resolve them.
The Receiver does not "see" my Zpen. What can I do?
There are several factors that affect the reception and signal
between the Receiver and the Zpen. Firstly, there must be a
clear line of sight between the two devices. This means that
there cannot be any object in between the Receiver and the
Zpen that blocks the infrared signal.
If you hold the pen with your fingers curled around it in such a
way that it blocks the line of sight, then the Receiver cannot
detect the Zpen. Loud noises can also affect reception.
How do I replace the Zpen's batteries?
See Inserting the Zpens Batteries, page 17, for instructions
describing how to replace the pens batteries.
The written pages have distortionCheck if you are near strong acoustic noise (as PC fan,
engine) or IR noise, it can cause distortion to the writing
New page button is not active.
For the New Page button to be active, the pen should be
within range of the Receiver.
