The Digital Pen, Docking Station, and Capturx Pen Manager The Capturx digital pen looks and feels like a regular ballpoint pen, yet it contains an integrated digital sensor, an advanced image microprocessor, and a mobile communications device for wireless connection. As you write, the digital pen scans your writing in conjunction with a digital watermark (dot pattern) that is printed by Capturx software along with the visual information in your form.
Changing Ink Cartridges From time to time, you will need to change the ink cartridge of your digital pen. 1. To remove the ink cartridge from the pen, use small pliers or use the hole in the pen cap to grab the ink tip, angle the cap, and pull. 2. To place the cartridge in the pen, take one of the ink cartridges and gently slide it into the hole at the tip until it is completely seated and does not fall out. It’s normal for the cartridge to feel slightly loose.
Setting Up the Digital Pen and Docking Station 1. Power on the digital pen by removing the cap. When you replace the cap, the pen turns off. 2. You may need to place the ink cartridge in the pen. Take one of the ink cartridges from your product box and gently slide it into the hole at the tip until it is completely seated and does not fall out. It’s normal for the cartridge to have some movement. 3. Attach the docking station to a PC or laptop via the USB port. 4.
Capturx Pen Manager Features Digital Pen Status System Monitoring When you install Capturx Pen Manager, the feature is added to the list of applications active on your system. If its icon does not appear in the default view of your system tray, you can drag-and-drop the icon from the Show hidden icons window to the system tray. To access Capturx Pen Manager, double-click the icon in your system tray. Status messages about its activity will be displayed as actions occur.
Capturx Pen Manager Control Panel Once you configure the digital pen and Capturx Pen Manager to suit your work style, the Pen Manager runs in the background. Its control panel is seldom required for everyday operation. 1. Pen Information Tabs Tabs separate Capturx Pen Manager options for each individual pen. Selecting a tab displays the options for that pen. The Close Tab button closes the particular tab. You can only close the tab for a pen that is not currently docked. 2.
Pen Manager supports password logins with non-English characters. English passwords have a 22-character limit. Any password with a non-English character has an 11-character limit. To assign a password: 1. Click Assign, and the Assign Pen Password dialog displays. 2. Fill in the New Password and Confirm New Password fields. The passwords you enter must match. 3. Fill in a hint to help you remember the password in the New Hint field. 4. Click OK.
5. Pen Download Settings You can select one of three download settings: Auto Download: Data is automatically downloaded as soon as Capturx Pen Manager detects a connected pen with stored data. Prompt for Download: When Capturx Pen Manager detects a connected pen with stored data, you are prompted by a dialog to download the data. Manual Download: With the pen connected, the system will wait for you to initiate download using the Download button on the Pen Status section of Capturx Pen Manager.
9. Digital Ink Destination: URL, Email, or Folder You can send your stored ink to an email recipient, to a Capturx-enabled server, to a folder on your local PC, or to a network location by entering the email recipient address, local directory path, server URL, or network URL in the Destination field and selecting the Enable checkbox. This feature is discussed in detail in the “Destinations” section. 10.
3. Dock the pen once the data is collected. 4. Using your default email client, Capturx will create an email for the defined recipient. The ink records will be contained in an XID file attached to the email message. Each XID file follows this author/date file naming convention: ----YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.XID To send ink records to a location on your computer network: 1. Enter a directory path in the Destination field. For example: \\company.network\network.share\company.forms 2.
2. The Stored Ink Records dialog displays. The Pending Ink tab lists all successfully downloaded records that are waiting for processing. Each unprocessed record is listed by user name, the date and time the record was downloaded from the digital pen, the filename, and file type. A preview of each unprocessed record is displayed, as well as the file path, file status, pen id/serial number, and the page address of the digital record. 3.
Troubleshooting Digital Ink Processing Errors If ink records do not process successfully, you can still use Capturx Pen Manager to route their data or to remove the record from the digital pen. 1. If an error occurs while processing an ink record, a dialog will note the number of pages imported and the number of errors. To save unprocessed records into your local Capturx application, and optionally view all saved records, click OK. NOTE: Canceling leaves the records on the digital pen. 2.
Process the record, sending it to the associated Capturx application. Try this after correcting the error, for example, by restoring the target file. NOTE: Processing an ink record for any PDF file will cause all pending PDF ink to be processed. Delete the file from the digital pen. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion. Close the Stored Ink Records dialog.
