Settings

These are general settings for Stylus Calibration, Account Sync and

Backup, AI recognition, Note password settings, Show Erasing Trace,

Auto-turn on Wi-Fi to sync Notes, Auto-generate PDF documents after

exiting Note, Auto refresh after lifting stylus.

If this device is bound with third-party accounts for file sync, and Wi-Fi

is connected, the Note files will be auto-uploaded to the accounts with a

PDF or PNG attachment.

If “auto-turn on Wi-Fi to sync Notes” is enabled for notes sync, the

device will connect with Wi-Fi automatically and sync notes to the Cloud

when exiting the Note app. If it is disabled, users need to sync to account

manually by clicking an upload icon on book covers.

For the “Auto refresh after lifting stylus”, the display would refresh after

users lift stylus away from the screen, making the strokes smoother.
