3a. Connect C-Pen to USB and start scanning to the cursor in any application
3b. If you have the C-Pen 3.5 model, you may connect using Bluetooth.
How to connect (pair) C-Pen to Mac using Bluetooth:
•
Start your C-Pen 3.5 by pressing the function button for 6 seconds. The LED will blink once
per second which indicates “Discoverable Mode”.
•
On your Mac, click the C-Pen logo in the tiny floating C-Pen window and click Settings.
Go to “Bluetooth” and start searching. When your C-Pen 3.5 has been found, select it and
press “Pair”. Enter PIN code 1234 to successfully pair C-Pen with your Mac.
You only need to pair the pen once. Next time you start the pen, it will automatically try to find the
host computer it was connected to during the last session.
The Bluetooth pairing can be done either from the C-Pen Settings or from the Mac Bluetooth UI.
See “Troubleshooting” at the end of this document for further help.
4. How Do I Use the C-Pen?
The C-Pen MAC Beta software does not 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 TextEdit.
–
First check that the C-Pen is connected. The C-Pen logo (in the floating window) is dark blue
when the pen is successfully connected.
–
Start TextEdit.
–
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 TextEdit.
The text is fully editable, e.g. you can change font type and size in your text editor to customise the
text.
Note
that there is a small automatic trigger button at the tip of the C-
Pen. This button activates the scanning when the C-Pen is pressed
against the paper. It is important that it is pressed in during the
complete scan. The automatic trigger is shown in the picture to the left.
