CHECKING FOR ECHO DESKTOP UPDATES
If you are connected to the Internet, Echo Desktop automatically checks the
Livescribe website to see if your version of Echo Desktop is current, and if the
software and firmware on your smartpen are up to date.
If your system needs updates, Echo Desktop prompts you to update now or later.
It is good practice to accept the updates available for both Echo Desktop and your
Livescribe smarten.
If you are currently using any version earlier than 2.7 of Echo Desktop for Mac OS
X, perform these steps to upgrade:
1. Launch Echo Desktop. If an update is available, Echo Desktop prompts you
to accept the update. Confirming the update downloads the latest version of
Echo Desktop for Mac OS X from the Livescribe website.
2. Check for additional updates. Choose Echo Desktop > Check for Updates
from the Menu. Accept any updates offered. Repeat this process until you
have installed the current version of Echo Desktop. To determine the current
version numbers, see About This Release on page 5.
CONFIGURING ECHO DESKTOP
You can customize the behavior of Echo Desktop using its configuration options.
SETTING ECHO DESKTOP PREFERENCES
Echo Desktop gives you control over how the app looks and responds, as well as
access to updates. To set your Echo Desktop preferences:
1. From the Echo Desktop menu, select Preferences. The Preferences dialog
opens with the General options available. Note the names of the Preferences
sections at the top of the dialog. You can reset the preferences to the Echo
Desktop factory settings at any time by pressing the Factory Settings button
available on each preference dialog.
2. In the General section, choose if you would like to automatically launch Echo
Desktop when you dock a smartpen. Also choose if you want to auto-install
software updates.
3. In the Paper section, choose the default ink color and the color for active and
animated ink. You can also choose to show or hide blank pages and draw or
hide page background images (ruled lines and so on).
4. In the Audio section, set the playback latency (in seconds).This setting rewinds
your audio playback up to ten seconds from when your writing occurred. This
compensates for written notes that lag behind the recorded audio, which occurs
as you write notes about something shortly after hearing it. The lag varies
depending on your note-taking style.
