CONNECTING TO A PC
C-Pen can be connected to a PC by Infrared (IR) commu-
nication. A working IR connection with a PC is required
to install and remove applications in C-Pen. To enable
this communication certain hardware and software must
be installed and configured properly on your PC. The
following is required:
1. IR port. Laptop computers often have a built-in IR
port. Refer to your computer’s manual to find out
whether your computer is equipped with an IR port
and if so, where it is located. Most desktop computers
do not have a built-in IR port. In this case you must
use an external IR adapter. Refer to your retailer if you
don’t have an IR adapter.
2. Infrared drivers for Windows 95 (included on the C-Pen
Windows Software CD). If you use Windows 98 or
Windows NT, please read the ReadMe file on the C-Pen
Windows Software CD.
3. C-Pen Windows Software. This software is installed
using the C-Pen Windows Software CD.
Installing software
The Infrared drivers and the C-Pen Windows Software
are installed when you run the installation programs on
the CD. Infrared drivers are possibly already installed on
your computer.
Infrared hardware on laptops can be configured in many
different ways. Please refer to the ReadMe file on the
C-Pen Windows Software CD before installing infrared
