Caring for the digital pen
The digital pen writes in traditional ink on the paper, while
simultaneously transmitting digital ink to the Ink Manager Pro
program. The digital pen is a precision instrument and should be
handled with care:
• Replace the pen cap when you finish writing. This protects
the ink tip from damage. With the cap on, you can store the
pen in any position.
• When you finish writing, replace the pen in the pen holder,
or lay it next to the digital notepad. Do not rest the pen on
the digital notepad or hold it poised just above the notepad
for long periods of time. Doing so might prevent your ink
from transferring to the computer.
• Because the pen draws power when the tip is depressed, do
not store the pen in a position that would continuously
depress the pen tip. Also, do not let the pen tip rest on a
surface that might wick out the ink, such as a cloth or tissue.
• With the cap on the front section, you can store the digital
pen in any position.
• If you have more than one digital pen, store only one with
the ThinkScribe. Keep the other pens stored in another
location so the transmitters do not interfere with the
working pen.
