2. USB port      

2.2 Hardware Connection

Plug the USB cable to the EZ Handwriter pad and the USB port of your computer.

Notes: 1. When first time connecting your EZ Handwriter pad to your computer, the system may 

take some times to recognize it.

2. Sometimes, when you connect the EZ Handwriter handwriting pad, the system may pop-

up a window to ask you restart your computer. Please ignore it.

2.3 Run EZ Handwriter System

After connecting your EZ Handwrter pad to the USB port of your computer, the EZ 

Handwriter handwriting system will be launched automatically. If your Windows OS 
is Vista or above, the system will display an AutoRun menu when the writing pad is 
connected. Please select [Run Freeime2.exe] to launch the EZ Handwriter handwriting 
system. 

Notes: 1. EZ Handwriter contains two flash disks. The first flash disk is [EZ Handwriter]. It 

stores EZ Handwriter handwriting system program files. While the EZ Handwriter 
pad is connected to the computer for the first time and the EZ Handwriter handwriting 
system doesn’t launch automatically, you can right-click on this disk, select [Open], and 
then double-click on   [Launch.exe] to launch EZ Handwriter handwriting system 
manually.  

2. When launching the EZ Handwriter, the system will also open a Windows Explorer and 

view the second flash disk. It can be also used as a regular flash disk to store your data.
