32MB flash memory of the G-Note 5000 as a

4.4 Importing digital pages (Windows 2000 & XP)

The functionalities of

G-Note Explorer

at the upper left

side of the main screen are very similar to Windows
Explorer. You can select drives, create new folders, and
copy files across like you would do in Windows itself.

After you have connected the G-Note 5000 to your PC,
the internal flash memory will appear as a removable disk
(e.g. G:\ ) in the

G-Note explorer

pane.

The

Thumbnail pane

at the lower left side of the main

screen displays a series of miniaturized representations
of all the digital pages in the current G-Note file. Use the

4.5 Using the G-Note as a pen tablet

As soon as you have established a USB connection with your PC, the G-
Note 5000 will instantly double as a pen tablet. You can use the black
digital ink pen

marked as pen number 1 on the LCD display in note

taking mode

as an input stylus in a much the same way as the stylus of

a traditional pen tablet, a tablet PC, or handheld computer.

In pen tablet mode, you can hover the pen over the writing area to
navigate the cursor across the screen, tap and double-tap on program
icons to select and open them, and annotate your notes in the Digital
Organizer program as well as in mainstream applications that allow
freehand pen input.
