Let’s give an example: we define Alt+X as the hotkey for reading mode switch-
ing. For starters, we select the setting alphanumeric as our reading mode. We
now go to our Windows application and scan in some text. When we execute the
keyboard command Alt+X inside our Windows application, the IRISPen switches
to bar code reading. When we repeat the keyboard command, the reading mode
successively changes to black-and-white and greyscale bitmaps to clipboard,
handprinting, numeric and back to alphanumeric. The reading mode is always
specified in the status window!
Secondly, we can use pen button clicks to change the reading mode. To
encode documents where handprinting and other information are mixed on the
page, just clicking the pen button can do the job. Click on the "Pen Button" button
on the toolbar.
A single and double pen button clicked can be programmed to switch from
one reading mode to another.
